Religion might help some people,but to me its just killing in the name of god,whatever you call him this week

That stuff is all through Appalachia,and its weird as hell
All through the mountain chain theres these little churches that barely have electricity for the organ.

Idiot, inbred morons who are brainwashed to the point of being sheep. Alot of those snakes they are holding are harmless ratsnakes, but some of them are Canebreak rattlers that will do some serious bad damage. Jesus won't save them if they get bit, only about 25 vials of antivenin. Alot of those people remove the fangs before their shows. Some use copperheads and cottonmouths, which won't kill you but will leave some nasty necrosis to deal with. I would love to see them do that with some of my cobras, or taipans or mambas. That church wouldn't last too long if they were

As far as that poor girl who got killed by her dad; very sad. Just another of many I have heard about having their life ended by their psycho dads. Happens on a daily basis in Iran.

We need to be thankful for the generations of liberalism and secularism in the west otherwise we'd be no different. If our societies were still dominated by religious conservatives we'd still be burning witches. They'd be stoning gays to death in the southern states.

Q: "Why don't Baptists have sex standing up?"

A: "Because people might think they are dancing"



A long loooooong time ago in the Roman Empire Christianity turned from a belief system into a political position and Christianity had numerous instances of sectarian violance, just as bad as Islam in most cases, check out the Spanish and Roman Inquisitions. And KL is correct, thank God that happened so long ago because it took forever to quell violence between Catholics and Protestants and then to get them thinking "in the now" took a long time too.

I think most Christians feel that they have control of their fate....I am not so sure most Muslims feel that.


But also secularism can lead to violence as well as there were numerous wars fought before Christianity and Islam became popular.....and many wars fought between the Persians/Arabs and the West before these religions were popular

[Trainer Monkey]

Its fanatacism Lyle,not religion
Jonestown happened because of a church that had Christ in the title,the shooter in COlorado last week was a devout christian
But show me where its says "And thee shall put the cyanide in to the flavor-aid(common misconception it wasnt Kool Aide)and force the children to drink it first"

[El Kabong]

.....are you going to argue with me in every thread


I agree with you...I am not anti-religion....I myself figure to be more "spiritual" than "religious"....Religion brings some good things about but yes as you say fanatics seem to ruin it for everyone

Your starting to see what Im angling at
The two concepts that have probably caused the greatest human misery over the ages,are
A)Them and us,somehow those people are a little less human then us
combined with
B)My gods bigger then your god,and thats WHY
It allows scumballs who are only in it for their own prestige and power to get people who are oppressed and desperate enough to do some truly heinous things int the name of whatever god their following
But somehow those guys never go out the same way as their followers
Osama Bin Forgotten wasnt on any of the planes
George W Bush has yet to do a legitimate tour of duty
Jim Jones died of a gunshot wound not cyanide laced Flavour Aid
Hitler never had to pull the lever on the showers
Ariel Sharon was far in the back,and let the Lebanese Christian Militias do the killing at Sabbra and Shatilla
If it was such a holy cause,why werent any of the above willing to do it themselves?

Secularism doesn't lead to violence. Leaders arrogating religion for their own personal ends however does.

....not specifically but not having religion at all doesn't mean the end of all violence and you had better understand that.

Wars have been fought long before religion as we know it was around and wars will be fought if religion is not around.


More wars are fought over money and national pride than religion....hate to disagree with you once again but I figure you're about used to it by now
