1. Quentin, grow up and develop your brain....( DagothUr )...Uhu? Develop into what, not being sarcastic, being serious. I guess watersprout needs to develop a brain too, eh? Your not answering the question Dag, your picking a fight. Least my brain is developed enough to know that.

WHY DOES RELIGION BECOME VIOLENT?

by Quentin in

almost without exception all major religons become violent at there inception, or not long after they have become established, why?

.

Quentin

DESTROY that which disproves their own belief system.... ( Terry )... So, we don't WAIT on God to seperate, take the matter into our own hands. Slaguhter the infiedel. Not as God's insterment, being God ourself?

The Gods that humans worship are violent. Many believe we are made in God's image....( Pontoon )...Again we become God, we judge, we execute, we destroy. Why should we have a God at all?

I like the "Threat of Disproof" idea Terry...me too. I've always found it interesting that every religion has it's "boogey-man" group, the arch nemesis....( Sooner )...Lets make up an idealology to anchor ourselfs too. No need for God, No need for edicts, or commands from God. Lets beGod , thin the hered , live in that promised land.

Well.... If you thought you had a message from the Great and Wonderful Supreme One, and people wouldn't listen to it, much less obey....( AnneB )...There you go again. We're God, WE make the decisions WE smite the heathen, cast out the apostate .

'Judgement'... ( Design )...Of course, No matter what any Holy Writ says. Save time, do God's work, don't let God's way get in our way. We'll do the judging dirty work on our own. No need for the Creator to worry, God can take it easy, rest, leave all in our capable hands, after all that's what we were created for wasen't it?

In ancient times when one civilization conquered another civilization that didn't worship their particular god it showed who's god was of greater strength and who was in control and retainment of that strength...( thetreuone )...Thre you go then, As good a reason as any to be violent with our religon.

CONCLUSION : Religion is a sham, don't need it for our slice of heaven, don't need God, or a saviour. All we need is ourselfe's. Little god's running to and fore murduring and doing violence aginst those that don't agree, or fit OUR concept of right and wrong.

GOD.... YOUR OUT OF A JOB. TAKE YOUR SHINGLE DOWN, ALL YOUR HOLY WRIT AND GO HOME. YOUR NOT NEEDED. WE DO WHAT WE DO IN OUR NAME NOT YOURS.....

See what your saying, don't mean to flog a dead horse. However, most of these religions in their beginnings were benevolent, even tolorant toward others belifes. Especialy Christianity, or so we have been lead to belive. What happened? Were we mislead?

Israel sweep into the promised land rapping, pillaging, bulndering all before them, Muslims surged out of Arabia putting all to the swoard that did not convert. Christians spent 100 yrs, or more conquering Palistine murdering Jew and Muslim. Then each other. All in the name of God and Holy Writ, Why? Why is religion the epicenter of so much murder and destruction?

Have you built your MEMORY PALACE?

by Terry in

friends

it is any place you know so well your memory of it is intimate knowledge you simply will not forget.

this, in turn, will serve as a mnemonic device or place of safekeeping for anything you wish to remember (forwards or backwards).. memory experts "build" a great many of these for various uses.. .

1.a jar of pickled garlic (here is where you fix the item: imagine in your mind's eye smashing that jar in the middle of the driveway with the juice running out into the street and the pieces of garlic stinking up the neighborhood.

I write out a list and keep a daily shedual book...

Mr. Falcon Asks: Harrassed? Exiled? Lost your family? It's okay..... You're just dealing with IMPERFECT MEN.

by Mr. Falcon in

i'm pretty sure everyone here has been "counseled" with this little gem.

"oh sure, that does seem impractical" or "yes, brother headup-hisass shouldn't have done that.......but you must remember that we are dealing with imperfect men.".

few responses insult your intelligence as much as the above statement does.

Quentin

Where have you heard this" "We were following orders"....I see no difference.
