Society & Culture - 26 August 2006

I am conducting research to develop a cure for religious madness. Most people would be aware today that religion is a serious mental illness. It’s the inability to face the reality of life and the finality of death. Science suggests that religion is a mental illness and that religious people act irrationally because they are genetically predisposed to the “religious or spiritual” gene.

My private research studies indicate that religious people tend to be below average intelligence, and also have a tendency to be more violent than non-believers. This also seems to be supported by profiling various YA religious posters.

Hopefully scientists and psychiatrists will be able to develop a successful cure to help religious people re-enter the world of commonsense, logic and happiness, without the need to kill innocent men, women and children in the process.

I’d appreciate your comments and/or scientific input. Many thanks.

England has been lost for about 20 years, maybe more and STILL getting worse. Wales is falling and Ireland. Scotland is holding out well, but for how long until the south (england)migrates there.
Australia needs a pat on the back so far. May need them soon.

Soon there wont be countrys , just ONE BIG MESS !!!

A friend says Jesus has changed his life. He is "born again"

I asked this guy: Have you stopped doing the stuff that made your life so bad, booze, drugs, etc;?

He said yes. Jesus gave him the strength to that.

My argument is that Jesus did zip.

My friend may as well have believed in a cockroach and it would have the same affect

A man recently offered me a very large some of money to sleep with my wife for one night. The problem is, the day before he offered, I told my wife I wanted a divorce (Why this man wants to give me 500k to sleep with my fat, gross wife is beyond me, but i really want the money). If I tell my wife to sleep with him for the money, she will just keep it all herself. If I tell the man not to mention the deal to my wife he will know I am just a middleman now. I thought I might be able to set up a situation where she can cheat on me with this man, that way I get the money and an easy divorce. But the guy says she has to wear this silly nun outfit! How can I arrange that!! What can I do? I need an idea! With that 500k I can afford to get a new young hot wife! Please help.

God is perfectly just, and yet he sentences the imperfect humans he created to infinite suffering in hell for finite sins. Clearly, a limited offense does not warrant unlimited punishment.


God's sentencing of the imperfect humans to an eternity in hell for a mere mortal lifetime of sin is infinitely more unjust than this punishment. The absurd injustice of this infinite punishment is even greater when we consider that the ultimate source of human imperfection is the God who created them.

A perfectly just God who sentences his imperfect creation to infinite punishment for finite sins is impossible

my grandma told me this once, that if you dont conscously* choose God, you subconcously* choose satan. so even if you think by not choosing one or the other, and ignore making the choice, u are serving satan. like the quote, u can only serve one master, from the bible. do you agree with that?

Yes my friend. I am new christian convert i was once a muslim. In my nation I walk home form school and buddhist were there and telling me to leave christianity. They say bible is fake and i rebuke them, they they say that they are like gods and stuff.

Then i told them that jesus died for them and then they began saying god didn't exist. so then i rebuke again and again and then they actually hovered about the ground. so i ran away. now i see them fly off ground like plane. i want to become a buddhist now but i still am afraid jesus is mad at me.

In the story of creation, what do you think was the first thing God said to Adam? What was the first thing Adam said to God?

I'm trying to follow a pattern of logic here: okay, I'm God, I create Adam and Eve, my most wonderful creation, to keep me company because I'm lonely and I want someone to share eternity with. I already created some angels, but they got cocky, and one of them got ESPECIALLY cocky, and I named him Satan, or the Devil. (I'm PERFECT, but I guess I screwed up, what can I say?!). I love Adam and Eve unconditionally, but I kicked them out of my lovely garden because they were tempted by Satan to eat some fruit that I forbid them to eat! I KNOW that they're not perfect, just like I knew the ANGELS weren't perfect, but I'm punishing them anyway! After all, I'm God, what're ya' gonna do?! But I'm STILL all loving, so I'm gonna send some of Adam and Eve's descendants to hell (a home for Satan--wow, aren't I generous to my enemy? It IS fire, but at least it's home!) for not following some rules that I wasn't very clear about anyway!! Are you getting this people? Good, cuz I don't!!
