Well...in addition to promoting/enforcing some morality and stability in society. There is a reason the Bible is full of incest, pedophilia, rape, beastiality, adultery, murder, dismemberment, and so on.

Man was pretty animalistic prior to moral codes and some organized social structure. Worse than animalistic, since animals usually do things for a good biological/survival purpose, whereas man often does them merely because he can or because it entertains him.

The world is still full of the things you listed despite religion coming along... I think the sadest thing is people will harp on half of them like they're new things and signal the decline of society.

that would spoil the surprise. I will leave a polaroid about 2am. You will never post it and sadly I left it with you.

I don't have the time to do anything else but that.

Funny how this thread is basically FULL of people who didn't follow the directions in the thread title. : /

:rolleyes:

Yeah, because this isn't exactly what the OP wanted. He wants to play victim. That's something I've always found odd, is even when they have a majority opinion, religious people seem to always have a feeling of being persecuted. If its not by other people its by their devil or even their own god (but of course they deserved it then).

if the anti-gay Christian movement has its way, then the state of CA will side with their current argument now on trial in defense of prop 8. Now, this is pretty damn insane, so bear with me:

The fundies are actually trying to argue (and this is in fact TRUE) that THEY--The Fundy Christians--are THE MINORITY GROUP in this debate--and it is THEIR RIGHTS, AS A MINORITY that prop 8 is designed to protect! The "Gay agenda MAJORITY" is threatening their civil liberties. Because, you know, Christians are such a threatened minority in this country. Fucking amazing. :rolleyes:

They use the "I'm a persecuted minority" argument to backpedal under a campaign of hate and bitter discrimination, yet the "We are the dominant culture" voice when others try to claim that they should be more tolerant of various religions, beliefs, politicians that don't pray to god, believe that laws are defined by God, etc. Fucking unbelievable.

Holy fuck, it would be funny if it weren't so awfully true.

Roll your eyes all you want. Everything I said is true. Maybe you can't handle the truth.

You don't know what you are talking about. The OP wasn't wanting to be persecuted, nor do other religious people. You pretend to know how it all works though, because after all, you're an expert.

Of course what you said is true. It's so obvious it doesn't need to be stated. Honestly, it seems like a very passive aggressive away of saying we're jerks. Which is also obvious; an atot religion thread will bring out us jerks, as will 99% of other threads.

PS
You're a jerk too.

No, I just wanted a who loves Jesus post and to keep your riff raff out. IF you could read and follow directions, this would have been a simple thread.


I pray for you all.

Correlation of trololololing and religion is basically linear based on the posters in this thread.

On intelligence, about the same inverse correlation.

I think the Brahamin have had it figured out for centuries, and still have the most rational, logical approach to the understanding of God:

the minute you start to talk about god, the minute you try to describe god (understanding god with a mortal, non-infinite mind), is the minute you fail to understand ..."It."

There is no single identifiable description or philosophy that can ever properly capture the essence of such a universal creator, and there sure as shit can't be a fleshy representation of such. The idea is patently ludicrous. I'm not sure about prophets though...maybe that concept remains somewhat kosher.

Silence and contemplation--meditation--is the only true means by which "a god" can be approached.

It's spelled "BRAHMIN" btw. LOL...

More proof than you've provided. I'm going with the belief that man has had since mans inception over what a bunch of Internet champs/life failers think.

So what would you call yourself then? An internet champ/life winner?

Hello pot. Meet kettle.

You've been here long enough to know that's not how it would turn out.

If a higher deity exists, then I have an email address that they can mail me on. If they're that omnipotent, I'm sure an Internet cafe will be close by and they will know of it. They (possibly plural) might like to settle the matter after so many of years of uncertainty. No biggie if they don't but, well, time is running out. The sun will kill us all in lots of years from now.

In the meantime, time for some music - elevator music for a billion trillion years .
