I don't think you can take the whole, "Come on guys, leave religion alone."lacktheknack said:
Not after the countless atrocities committed in the name of god over the years. And the stout anti-atheist stance that christianity and almost all other major religions have taken in the past. Both sides have been scapegoated equally. And before you get the impression that i'ma disgruntled atheist, I do believe in god, very much so. I just strongly disagree with all forms of organised religion, because I feel that their very existence goes against what faith should be about. It's a personal thing, you can interpret it in your own way, it's not right to have a group of people assert how they think it happened, or how it works.
On a more serious note, whilst it won't be the next thing to be contraversial, when (not IF) Human bionic augmentation dos become a reality I imagine some religious groups would be in uproar about it. Tampering with gods design & the like blah blah.Halceon said:
Personally I think it would be awesome. Eyes that have built in amplification or servo assissted limbs for heavy lifting. Would no doubt cost an absolute fortune though
Wouldn't the next evil against soceity be something new? These evils are normally something that does not meet the standards of the general morals of that timeperiod. However, we have a much less strict, religious moral controlling our soceity, thus there likely won't be a new great evil like the Beatles, rock-music or videogames.
But if I where to guess I'd say mainstream emos.

Well at least they aren't taking away history like the liberals wants to do. He wants to erase everything from our history books starting at the beginning the progressive era. Almost a thousand years of history will go down the drain. No revolution. No Abe Lincoln. No Jamestown. Nothing. Thankfully, my dear state, is the worlds largest consumer of history books. WE make the rules. They want to change them, we won't buy them, sales will plumet and the economy goes under another step. Gee, ain't I a little bastardSamoftherocks said:
. I await your rebutle.EDIT: Crap I forgot the OT: Uhh... Rap music? I think children nowadays, are listening to rap music more and more. Singing about violence, drugs and prositution as well as disrespect for women.
Ninjas. Society will blame them.
Failing grades? Ninjas are stealing their work
obesity? Ninjas have made them afraid to go outside
Mass shootings? They were crap ninjas so people saw them at it
Terrorism? Dude, they're ninjas, you should be scared
Antisocial behabiour? Ninjas aren't known for being friendly
Ageing population? ninjas have gone on an epic quest to find the key to longer life
Recession? Ninjas are sabotaging Wall Street
Then we'll move onto pirates. Don't get me started on pirates.

You miss understand. I'm not saying one religion vs another. Not even a culture against 1 religion (or anything different than there own main religion). I'm saying ALL organised religion. They all seem to do the same war creating, power hunger without any proof bull crap. Not even a reminder of what to believe in by having God communicate with it's followers. ALL organised religions being scapegoated has yet to happen, and thats one I agree with. Bloody war creating, dogmatic view following, hypocritical organised religion.lacktheknack said:
Give you an example, read the new testoment. You'll remember a passage where Christ goes to the main temple and cast's out all the money lenders, and business folk selling all sorts of crap like doves. He say's this is a place of worship, not a place of business. Sounds cool, I agree. But what do you see when you step into the Vatican and make your first right down the hall and around the corner. A bloody gift shop...with rosery beads, statues, and paintings being sold (credit card purchase available of coarse). Organised religion breeds this hypocrisy and dogmatic view of infalability. But have you even met anyone (who isn't skitzo or an attention seeker) who has actually communicated with God...how about your folk's? I bet you not...and no scientific proof or historical evidence to back religion ( actually on the contrary). No, Organised religion that has breed war for Millenia's should be the next scapegoat...time to speak up in the age of communication and forget the bullshit in my opinion.
And do remember I said ORGANISED religion. Everyone has a right to put a name to what they believe is God or God's. But since when is it right for an institution to sanction what is right and wrong in all life, what to believe in and what God is or isn't without any bloody proof? No more proof than any other religion. Yet they emphasize war in the name of God. Yet they create law's in theological countries? Yet they create a power vaccuum for people to follow under in the name of God. It's bullshit, and it really is getting old.
It will start off small on a innocent forum JUST like this one...
Some mad man will soon discover by mixing the light from a Computer Screen as you ingest certain tampon brands into your eyes you can get really high and I mean REALLY high.
Their post will be locked and the forum closed down in outrage and soon teens will all learn the how to ingest this wonder drug....

Sure enough this will lead to the goverment banning Computers and Tampons leading to Societies downfall with only BOOKS to record information.

OK, sorry, but I have to deconstruct your post.
At this point, I begin to realize how truly frightening the general ignorance towards religion really is.Samcanuck said:
Well, I know of Marx's belief of religion. However I also know of the Russian orthodox church. Wait, how about you just tell me of an event that All Organised religions were frowned on. I can't think of a one.lacktheknack said:
I'll just tell you to watch religilous by Bill Marh for some evidence to the contrary. How about Horus coming before Christ, and telling the same bloody fairy tale. Dumb luck I guess.
You have communicated with God, eh? So please enlighten me on an understanding about humanity. Geeze man, when you said 30 people from your church have communicated with God I called shinanigans, for how can you know of these things when the mass majority of people have not experianced anything like it? It truley is people like you who perpetuate this "I can talk with God" belief so Organised religion has base...even though the greatest minds of our time have never once (to my knowledge) even thought to say they have communicated with God. You actually talk with God and believe in a single dogmatic view huh, not just heard a voice in your head or felt the sun on your face whilst reading and are interpreting this as God? I sincerly don't believe you. You are telling me that God can and willingly does communicate with mankind, and yet allows the world to believe in innumerable misguided beliefs and go to war with man due to these different views of what God is or isn't (rather than simply communicate to each person). It makes no sense at all...especially in the case of Christianity and the blood on its hands. So I am calling you a liar. Prove me wrong, please.
Wait, he kicked down the tables and made the statment about a place of worship becuase Gentiles couldn't sacrifice doves in the temple? Wow, I really missed the mark on the meaning of that passage. I didn't know Christ was a politician, I thought he was supposed to be the son of God speaking the word of God. How can I debate a point with someone when they clearly feel their religion is infalible and feel that some words are allowed to be interpreted rather than undertood by how it is written? Not to mention having these interpretation acted on. It makes no sense.
The ignorance...you make it sound like I wasn't raised Anglican or something. You make it sound like after 2 decades of belief and prayer that when I asked myself if God had ever told me what to believe or not to believe that NOW I am ignorant because the answer was no. Grow up man, you may not have seen the destruction that religion has caused, but perhaps you should do a tour of duty and go and see how much God 'talks WITH us".
If you only now can see it, than you really have the wool pulled over your eye's.
Your lies truly anger me. It's easy to say that you know 30+ people who talk with God...counting yourself and family. They had a whole halebob comit cult with the same belief. Religious words of humanity (especially on the internet) hold about as much water as a bowl with a crack in it. Enlighten me on the word of God.
Unfortunately, I can't convince you of anything any more than I can single-handedly end world hunger. So I won't try. You're set in your ways, I'm mostly set in mine. Good day, God bless you.Samcanuck said:
