why is there a political conversation here now? I could be wrong, since I stay away from those things, but I think there is a board for that too.....anyway.....

[mont974x4]

Sorry Eva...probably all my fault ;-P

Of course, many times religion and politics are entwined.

I do apologize for the thread hijacking.

[siSTARindigo]

I didn't even think you started it....:-P

I guess you did, dammit mont! joking

(I hope you don't mind me calling you that, it is easier than remembering those numbers you have)

Of course, many times religion and politics are entwined.

Your right, the religion described in FLESH's essay is just that. Politics, Business, Control. The article is also propaganda, because it is placing people in an 3 catagories basically. Fundamentalist, Moderate, and Athiest. That is a huge hype up. I am none of them. I am not a moderate either FLESH, so don't even think it. I read about the Mayans, the Inca, The Hopi, the Agnostics, the Christian Agnostics, Astrology, numerology, I believe in Chakras, and Reincarnation. I read about lost civilizations, who were run off or killed by these hard core assholes. Jesus was killed just like all the "witches" in Salem. Of course it was wrong!

The author of this essay was probably beaten with a bible by the priest who molested him for 10 years.

Hopefully this converstaion has at least shown you that there is more out there than what you believe religion to be, and your belief system (athiesm). Even people who do believe wholly in the bible like Mont can be VERY peaceful, loving individuals.

Mont knows god knows all. The people you describe disgrace god daily, even more by using his name as a reason for atrocities. Or even back to the priests, did they or did they not believe in an all knowing god. Did they think that because the door was shut, GOD didn't know what they were doing?

You see, we are on the same side. The only difference is that you say there is no god, and I say there is.

As it should be Eva. Teach our kids to make informed decisions on their own...critical thinking etc. and be lifelong learners.


Les,
thanks for the post it was an interesting idea.


Flesh,
it is apparent that Sam, and you, have no idea what the Bible actually says. The danger for all of us is twisting the Word to make it fit our agenda. I don't expect you to understand. Actually, the Bible tells me that you won't. lol

Your welcome...The Idea is a good moral to follow through on!
