I might think the super religious are funny, but I really don't care. I don't judge. I might laugh, but don't judge. Afterall, that's supposedly somebody else's job in the end.

"Super religious", is that like being super pregnant? I always thought a person either was a Christian or they aren't, I was not aware of varying degrees.

My comment was made with tongue in cheek....couldn't find a smiley for that so went with the big grin. Was not intended to start any crap.

This is not a new trend, as society changes, so do the religions...tomorrow jesus, allah, and mohamed will be talked about just as Odin, Horus, and Zeus are today.

You're silly.

All good. Doesn't seem to matter. What does seem to matter is move to Europe and suck Islam and their swine. Anyways, all good. I enjoy swine.

By "swine" I mean pigs, sows, hogs and these type subjects. I'll totally eat pulled pork and bone a large female until she can't see. I will also bone svelte female women with the need.

I can cure female maladies by allowing them to have sex with me.

Religion is a byproduct of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity?"

"Religion is based . . . mainly on fear . . . fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. . . . My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race." [Bertrand Russell]

This quote shows a basic misunderstanding of the Christian faith. If one becomes a Christian and accepts Christ as their Savior, they have nothing to "fear".

God sent his son Christ to accept all of the "punishment" of our sins and provide a release from those "fears". If you are a practicing Christian with a basic faith, what do you have to fear, you have been promised life eternal where the trials and pain and flaws of this life are gone. You have the ability to reunite with family and friends in a life perfect from this one we lead on earth.

Where is the "mystery", the "defeat" or the "fear" ?

Cruelty comes from those that that would USE religion for their personal means departed from the teachings of Christianity and some other religions.



Russell was a socialist, liberal and a pacifist. He was an agnostic and an atheist.

The irony of his life in philosophy is that he suggested religion was nothing more than a "superstition" and basically make believe.............yet as a avowed pacifist he lived his life believing in a fairy tale utopia where aggression, violence, cruelty and basic human nature would cease to exist.

He in essence wanted the world to be what a Christian faith provides yet dismissed the faith of religions that sought to provide this very thing.

Spot on gst. Much the same misunderstanding as those who talk of killing in the name of religion, and think Christians are just like Muslims. You will find many that erroneously believe Christians were at fault for the Crusades. At the same time they will call Islam a religion of peace. Some days a person wants to say "beam me up Scotty there is no intelligent life down here".

I'd rather believe and possibly be wrong than to not believe and be wrong.
