- seems you guys hate this clown just fine... agreed... but what about the imam above (w/far more clout) saying murdering gays is compassionate? is he a scumbag?PonyBoy
- @Pony, yes, of course. Anybody who wants to murder people based on who they are fundamentally is a scumbagmonospaced
- the point here is not to say islam is exempt, it's that even "our" "western" religion is as backward and hate-mongering as any, and is a source of radicalsmonospaced

Even more reasons why you should raise children without religion.

- agreed, religion hasn't been relevant for thousands of yearsmonospaced
- interesting, going to look into this. is electricity count as supernatural cause it makes things move like magic?yurimon
- Your a fool if you think religion hasn't been relevant for 1000s of years. Islam is influencing more political, security and social policies than ever.Morning_star
- this was funny. “Nones,” so nicknamed because they identified themselves as believing in “nothing in particular” not nihilistic at all... hahayurimon
- It still comes down to if god exists. if there is an existence in what ever form nature would allow then its the secular who believe in supernatural nothingyurimon
- Yeah no shit and for several thousand years nobody can show evidence of any God existing. And yes religion is relevant in that it's ancient thinkingmonospaced
- Ancient thinking? possibly, but it's utterly utterly relevant today. Do you think the US could ever elect an atheist president?Morning_star
- Yes it's still relevant in that it's outdated thinking refuses to die like it should. It holds no relevance for those who want to move on.monospaced
- Not sure why you're focusing on semantics here when you are entirely on the same side and know what I mean.monospaced

I dislike religions, but if Christianity's about learning from that which Jesus - to my mind a mortal man - taught, then why not make some system of it?
Better that than an entirely agnostic non-structure that has no foundation upon which to sit.
Lessons need parallelisation, need metaphor or analogy - it's the way our brains work.
Sure, don't absolve to some higher ultimate and unquestionable hyperbeing, but don't throw the baby Jesus out with the bathwater...

"In the consumer package, there is one object finer, more precious and more dazzling than any other--and even more laden with connotations than the automobile, in spite of the fact that that
encapsulates them all. That object is the BODY. Its `rediscovery', in a spirit of physical and sexual liberation, after a millennial age of puritanism; its omnipresence (specifically the omnipresence of
the female body) in advertising, fashion and mass culture; the hygienic, dietetic, therapeutic cult which surrounds it, the obsession with youth, elegance, virility/femininity, treatments and regimes, and the sacrificial practices attaching to it all bear witness to the fact that the body has today become an object of salvation. It has literally taken over that moral and ideological function from the soul."

"The Church must say it is sorry for not having behaved as it should many times, many times — when I say 'the Church,' I mean we Christians because the Church is holy; we are the sinners," the Pope said. "We Christians must say we are sorry."
Ultimately, Pope Francis said, "we Christians have much to apologize for" — and those apologies need not be confined to just one area.
"Ask forgiveness and not just say we're sorry," Francis said. "Forgive us, Lord."

It's funny to see that at one point in history, we have looked up in the sky looking for a so called "god". Without thinking that we're actually walking on it. But that, was too easy.
1- That god story/bible/Koran etc has been written by man (nobody can deny that) Meaning that these are word of man, not "god".
2- What makes you alive? Water, air, soil, plants, animals...
These are actual facts (no one can deny that either)3- Let's say "there is no God", will all life on earth will disappear?
If there is no water, no clean air etc will life disappear?Reality is not glamorous enough probably.
- I'm so fucking upset.ApeRobot
- Humanity is just a bunch of retards.ApeRobot
- We deserve to be eradicated.ApeRobot
- Thats a simple superficial interpretation. depends how deep you want to explore the subject. views to keep the masses inline dont always reciprocate higherknowyurimon
- Selfish and stupid cunts.ApeRobot
- Realizing we're animals, and not accepting the existence of supernatural deities as the reason for existence, is NOT a superficial "interpretation."monospaced
- Is electricity a supernatural entity? cause its invisible to us and makes things move. is nature supernatural cause we dont understand the mechanisms or intuneyurimon
- with its wonders? i think naught. listen nothing wrong with being a programmed sheep consuming religious science of reductionists. some people like the sleepyurimon
- @yuri, electricity is completely natural, explainable, visible, testable and verifiable. our world runs on it so there's nothing supernatural about itmonospaced
- nature isn't supernatural by definition, and therefore all of its mechanisms are natural as well. our understanding grows daily, but still nothing supernaturalmonospaced
- if we jump straight to the lame conclusion of "gods did it" for everything we didn't understand, we would never make any progressmonospaced
- The way you see gods and how gods are seen by inner core, versus people of the past, vs how it is taught or assumed they saw are all completely different.yurimon
- vs the natural phenomenon both seen and of creation. its all assuming something. now if you examine the past it was really all science, and it was mergedyurimon
- together into one discipline, included math, astrology. and also some of the stories were allegories. i posted a book before that helps you realize one aspectyurimon
- that is not abstract. where sciences still fails is in the realm of dealing with consciousness. how reality forms. this where things are abstract and certainyurimon
- practices that may appear as mysticism come together to understand in observation from a more intuitive perspective of pure abstract consciousness.yurimon
- There are more than one way to observe the world. not just by sight or sound. there is a level of abstraction involved with deeper perception which you lose ifyurimon
- there to much involvement in rationalizing. remember you have 2 polarities in your brain. when one is dominant you lose a perspective in the other.yurimon
- if you wouldnt call electricity supernatural then why would you call a creator supernatural if she/he is a force you may not understand? you think the naturalyurimon
- ends where?yurimon
- because we can explain electricity, we can see it, it's natural... to date there has been no concrete evidence of anything truly supernaturalmonospaced
- observing the world abstractly is purely personal and internal, relying on "feelz" and intuition. an interpretation completely separate from natural explanationmonospaced
- certain intuitions and consciousness can be explained by some texts, just not by science. and just because you cant explain something doesnt make supernatural.yurimon
- What im inviting you do consider also is that certain ideas can be expressed in different modalities of thought but are the same. breaking the interface betweenyurimon
- the abstract reality and rational observable reality. as a problem solver this is a great challenge and exercise that involves multiple subjects and beingyurimon
- dynamic in your thinking process.yurimon
- I agree, just because you can't explain something doesn't mean it's supernatural. That's why resorting to supernatural explanations looks fucking stupid.monospaced
- THUNDER!sted
- Like i said, about the differences of how these ideas are perceived, by main stream, inner circle, ancient people, is not the same. its a myth in itself on howyurimon
- you interpret it compared to the difference. if you want to explore the mystery, and start off with this frame of mind you will never get far. how you thinkyurimon
- in regards to certain topics, and if you have an intent to learn more. it will require a different frame of mind. now for me coming from a liberal backgroundyurimon
- it took alot of study to realize how far we are from the truth that is handed through education and not self explored with critical understanding.yurimon
- I also false frame of mind to assume that progression of history is that of primitive to advance. tech can create that illusion because it only deals inyurimon
- materialism. but if you study thinking processes its not true. I think thats part of how i try to solve it by adapting other thinking processes to view things.yurimon

- Wow that was a torrential outpouring of incoherent babble, yuri. dynamic thinking process? inner circle? ancient people? the MYSTERY? just wow.BuddhaHat
