Is this the first commandment of Christianity: In all things, be as ignorant as humanly possible?

Answer 1

The first commandment of people who ask these types of questions. "Be as stupid as your public school education left you." Congratulations, you fulfilled the expectation.

Answer 2

That was a cheap shot.
I take it you are uninformed that much of the knowledge that survived the Dark Ages was due to Christianity, that they have been guardians of knowledge for centuries, and that one of the largest libraries in the world is in the Vatican.

"ignorant as humanly possible"...I'm thinking that we're seeing a bit of projection here.

Answer 3

No, I am a spiritual person with a belief in a Higher Power, but I am not Christian. However, I recognize that there are many rational, compassionate, and decent human beings who practice Christianity.

I often find myself defending Islam and its followers in my writing. I do this because they have been the victims of Western imperialism for years. I make no claim that either the Muslims or Christians are better. I am simply deeply concerned about the Western genocide and acts of imperialism committed against Islamic peoples since oil became a valued commodity. In spite of the despicable misdeeds committed in our names, we wonder why so many in the Middle East harbor such hostility against the United States and its residents. We act befuddled, violated, and validated in our belief that we are morally superior when obscenely oppressed and exploited people resort to “terrorism” in a desperate attempt to defend themselves from the mightiest military and economy in the history of the world.

I abhor the violence committed by both sides, but we are not the “good guys”. The prevaricators leading our nation and writing our history have portrayed Americans as wearing the white hats for far too long. Transgressions and atrocities have been committed by many nations and people throughout history, including the United States and its leaders. Consider the most recent example in Iraq. Our occupying force has killed over 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilians. This is state terrorism at its worst and it needs to end. With our resources, the United States could become a humanitarian force. Sadly, the Neocons have chosen guns over butter (using our tax dollars and a mountain of borrowed money) to a shameless degree, enraging many of us who still have a social conscience.

2 Points!

Answer 5

No, just as the first commandment of Y!A doesn't say "Be rude and make wide unproven accusations"

Answer 6

We chuckle at this...but a certain amount of ignorance is certainly desirable in the controlling of the flock. Shepherds and sheep references unfortunately have some basis in fact.

Answer 7

The first thing of the left Commies like you is to be the lost link of evaluation with no brain.

Answer 8

Do you feel if there is any lack of ignorance right now the religions have ****** up the human race and its purpose.

Answer 9
