Can we please drop the religious charade?

Question

I think it's lamentable that the terminology used to report the archaic and insanely superstitious rituals is still couched in currency.

It's one thing to acknowledge and preserve the relics of the historical hysteria that is religion, but to pretend it has credence and relevance in this 21st Century is pathetic and sad.

Answer 1

This isn't a question.

Answer 2

well you probably got what you wanted - irritating those who hold their archaic, insane, salvation dear and without which life would seem pretty meaningless, for me at least. It is more pathetic and sad that you seem to have to try to destroy something that is crucial to many - it seems to me that perhaps it is you have not found any credence and relevance in the 21st Century... maybe you should look elsewhere towards those who have. Have a very joyful day. I know I will because I have significance, I have acceptance and I have security. And all that through a 'archaic and insanely superstitious ritual'... I wish you love.

Answer 3

i think of we could consistently keep away from advert hominem, however the ideals themselves deserve no longer something yet ridicule. My feeling is that folk shoul be required to settle for the logical outcomes of their ideals. case in point, a creationist should not be allowed to paintings in a clinical container. all and sundry believing something on faith should not be permitted to ask for evidence for the rest. this might make such ideals demanding to stay to tell the tale with, and the two people will supply up their nonsense or perish. the two way, the concept would be achieved away with.

Answer 4

Lamentable is pretty right. If we had better funding for education in the physical sciences and there were no political imperative to 'respect' people's faith (no matter how mental), then perhaps things would be better.

Answer 5

Babe, first off, jargon is a sign of ignorance, not intelligence. Secondly, you say that religion has no relevance today? Well, our country was founded on biblical ideals, that has to do with today. And lastly, have you ever tried Christianity? You might like it. And if you don't, evil will take you back, you know. Just a thought.
God Bless.

Answer 6

I think it's lamentable that you choose to describe something so life-altering as "archaic and insanely superstitious rituals". But to each his/her own. If it's not working for you and you find it pathetic and sad....please, by all means, drop your part of the "charade". I personally choose to believe and live by it, so for me, your non-belief is incomprehensible....but I respect your right to your beliefs. Please extend the same courtesy to me.

Answer 7

Maybe you have got the wrong currency. Where I live nobody would dream of writing religious statements on a money bill.

Answer 8

What is sad is that you do not know God.
Notice I did not say "about" God.
If you did, then you would understand the relevance.
The validity is in the experience, and in changed lives.
It is not about sacred religious rituals or hysteria.
Go past the preconceived concepts and assumptions.
Take some time to know the living God.

Answer 9

i concurr.

the false assumption that a certain thology bears some truth to it simply becuse of its sacredness is one which is laughably absurd. do esoteric thoughts imply validity? no. do the warm feelings acquired through faith imply validity? no

i agree. to say that something is valid simply because it is sacred is absurd. as a matter of fact i think it would be safe to assume that such though may be far more detremental to society than...well.....anything.

....stop trying to sound smart!

Answer 10

Righto.

Answer 11

Funny you seem to be religious in a, holier then thou, sort of way.
