Religion & Spirituality - 5 April 2007

The ‘everything else’ is a poor term for a very important category. We have been adding to ‘everything else’ since the dawn of creative thought. It is what grants us our status as a sentient, sapient and self aware species. Religious knowledge is not really knowledge at all. It’s more like pseudo knowledge. It’s taken completely on faith and the term ‘belief’ is more appropriate. It doesn’t benefit our technological progression at all. One can spend a thousand lifetimes learning all there is to know about the various religions and not contribute to the progression of our species one iota.

With umpteen billion rewrites, retranslations and revisions is it possible that the book responsible for more pain and death world wide is in some way corrupt?

Personally, I'm a huge fan. I know there are some extremists who say it's banned, but there is no support that is credible for this. I do my prayers on time and do my best to be good in life, which is what matters most. So what do you here in the R and S section feel about music? I personally like Beyonce, Destiny's Child, and the older stuff like Janet Jackson and Phil Collins (yeah yeah, I know). I'm also a huge fan of sappy love songs (Deliiiiiilah). What is your favorite music to listen to and why?

A woman brought her child to see Ghandi and ask him to tell his son to stop eating candy.

-come back in two weeks, said Ghandi after some thought.

Two weeks later, the woman comes back with her child, and Ghandi looks him in the eye and tells him to stop eating candy.

-why didn't you tell him that two weeks ago? asked the lady.

- because two weeks ago, I used to eat candy....

Most of sinful and alchohlic christians are being afflicted by God with STD (Sexually transmitted diseases) including AIDS and Hepatitis. Why not you tell your god that Jesus has paid the price and do not afflict us due out sins and crimes??? Or your sins and crimes exceeded than price paid?

"Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery."
Mark 10:11-12

It's hard to understand why this would be the case.

1 Corinthians 11:6 Says if christians woman does not cover head, shave her head. Why Christianity molest women
Bible interested in shaving the heads of all Christian women because they do not cover head. Why Christianity is so curel to women??? I am happy to be a muslim and Islam respect women not shave their heads!!!!!!
1 Corinthians 11:6 KJV: For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
1 Corinthians 11:6 ASV: For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veil

Mat 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the SON OF MAN be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

"The Kansas Board of Education has approved a ban on all Pokémon trading cards, video games, and anything related that has the name Pokémon on it because of the belief that it promotes kids to believing in evolution. Teachers now must search their students daily to make sure they aren't carrying anything with the name on it. Anything found will be permanently confiscated, that means you don't get your game back Jack. On top of all of this, if you dare do something as evil as bring a Pokémon video game to school they have the right to suspend you or even expel you if you repeat this crime."

This is what happens when you allow religion to take over public schools, nothing but stupidity.

Anyone else sick to the back teeth of the "sanitised" version of Christ's death and resurrection at Easter? The most powerful 'sermon' I ever witnessed was a congregation's silence whilst a handful of hand-made six inch nails was passed around from one person to the next. Any ideas on how to reflect then celebrate appropriately, and how best to teach our children?
