Erase a Branch of Religion

Don't they all follow Timbaland or something?

 

i don't know...it'd just be easier without all those blacks singing and faking around all the time

more time to focus on field work like good slaves

 

That's an idiotic statement since all of humanity has been under religious reign for all of history lacking the last 200ish years. You can't even make the comparison.

It was monks who saved manuscripts and promoted learning back in the day while everyone else was too busy killing each other off.

You must realize that religion isn't usually the culprit, but it has almost always been the excuse.

 

Satanism.

 

Football.

 

And you consider yourself a Brit?

 

Satanism is only practiced by a very small amount of idiots. Erasing it won't even make an impact.

Hah!

 

Not me. It is they who call me by this title.

 

But there is room...... And I feel like there are more "closet" cases out there who are not as fearless as the following woman....

For your viewing pleasure, Shirley Roper Phelps.

Another classic. . .

When was the last time there was no Islam?

This I agree with, but I will say I feel the Islamic culture is part of a balance. Without it I feel there would likely a replacement of some sort.

 

edinburgh mosque's cafe thing is truely one of the great achievements of the muslim faith, anyone tried the garlic naan there? soooooo good

 

Finally someone who knows about this place!

The food in this place is better than you get in most curry houses you pay five times as much for.

 

I'm not sure if I would erase any religion. Things have grown like this and it isn't solved by erasing one religion. The religious people that scare you most are not the only people in that religion and neither is it all religion but also culture that makes them think differently. Besides all that, the pope scares me as much as the radical islam. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't erase anything.

 

Doesn't that prove my point as far as science and technology are concerned?

 

The God hates fags people are just a small family. They pose absolutely no thread and thinking otherwise is stupid.

The news just like to pick up on them because it gives them something "shocking" to broadcast.

Plus, they are not violent... at all.

How is this question relevant?

I still haven't seen any evidence for this.

 

I'm not saying that religion does not stand in the way of science and technology.

I'm saying that it helped promote intellectual thought and literacy while the rest of the world wasn't even interested in the subject, and pretty much single-handedly led us to the enlightenment of modern society.

There would not be atheism without religion.

There wouldn't be a bloody printing press without religion.

There wouldn't be literature without religion.

This modern world wouldn't exist without religion.

 

"The Crusades originally had the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim rule and were launched in response to a call from the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuk Turks into Anatolia."

So not only were the Jews and Muslims fighting over Jerusalem, but the Christians wanted it too?

Chrisitians aren't at war because they're waiting for the current war to end so they can finish a culturally exhausted opponent easily.

That's why I'd eliminate the God/Allah branch of religion.....Any culture that believes in the God fellow seems to have a problem with entitlement issues.... and they seem fairly closed minded. Eastern religion > western religion.

 

As I've said before... religion was only used as an excuse.

The crusades didn't happen because of religion. Religion had next to nothing to do with it other than the basic justification. It was expansion and power that played the key roles.

People often fail to realize that Jerusalem is an extremely viable strategic point in the middle east and a very wealthy city.

It's never just religion.

 

I'm not saying it would be as extreme is Islam, with government approved & encouraged killing of infidels. But there would definitely be inciting priests, prophets, and all other sorts of religious madness. And there would be infidels who worshipped false idols, and then there's mortal sins and all that.. Laws or no, people are people, and we can be savage, especially when we discard reason.

There's no doubt to me extremist branches would form in Christianity, especially if a big player like Islam was gone.

I would argue against this. The vast majority of people know in their hearts it is wrong to harm others, wrong to steal, lie, etc. The few for whom these things don't come naturally are either sociopaths, brainwashed, or stupid.

Religion is also responsible for impeding great scientific and social advances.

I agree though, it's not all bad. It just needs to not be taken seriously.

 

And I'd like to add that the "War on Terror" which left the terrorist theme long ago, as it led to the murder of Sadam Houssein.....is really a Christian war of extremism...

"GOD bless the USA and nowhere else"...

How many times have you heard that shit from the monsters that created this war?

There is PLENTY of room for Christian extremism. They're just not as honorable as their Muslim counterparts. Those motherfuckers are willing to strap on explosives and run up on in your house to show you how passionate they are about killing you. We pretend to be mad about a bogus attack and start killing hundreds of non christians over land and leadership that is none of our business.

No room for Christian extremism?

That family of nutballs lines up pretty well with a lot of the more religiously inclined people I know in the midwest of the United States of Embarassment. They're just a little quieter and not as actively involved as that Phelps lady.

 

i'm sorry ~ i didn't realize we were under "Size Restriction" rules.

Whether or not it would make an "impact" isn't something that could be measured:

How much of an "impact" does Positive Thinking make in your life and in the lives of the peeps you come into contact with?

Is Negative Thinking more viscous, so that it spreads slower?

i don't know.

i DO know that i'd rather not ever meet someone who bases their entire mindset upon some bizarro "Opposite-of-Anything-Considered-Good" religion.

That was all i was trying to say ~
