I dunno. A vast majority of people I know are somewhat religious (I'm in the US). I tend to forget that people are actually religious when I step away from the internet and remember where I am. For the most part, I don't think I've known very many religious people who use their religion to persecute others. It's just the vocal minority that give everyone else a bad rap.

I know people who are religious who are good people, they don't give a stuff about whether I'm of their religion or not. I get on with them just fine. But they don't need God to motivate them to be good. I think that if they were never part of a religion anyway, they'd still be good people.

Problem is, good people can also convert assholes to their religion, and giving an asshole more excuses for assholery through religion (manipulating people, getting power, harming people and using religion to justify it) is a bad idea really.

So I love [MENTION=17697]small.wonder[/MENTION]?


lol

He prefers to be called Luke.
You're being too direct. Thats scary. But you can't control you thoughts and feelings as Fi, i believe, therefore love can happen anytime. But it doesn't have to be official evertime. Being honest is not always saying the truth.

Some scriptures were used as reference material to other parts of 'daily life' other than spirituality.

Muhammad: war lord

Jesus : pacifist

That's why there's no comparison between the two scripturally. Their identifying prophet kidnapped foreign women, stole booty from caravans and was essentially a war lord who held other people to a higher moral standard than himself. Jesus lived by example and never sinned.

There's also no scriptural basis of comparison as to how husbands and wives should behave, while wives should submit to their husbands, husbands are instructed to be gentle and loving to their wives, giving her no cause to hate him. In Islam race isn't an issue, but they still make a huge difference between men and women, while in Christianity while there's also no difference between "Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, MALE NOR FEMALE"...there's no scriptural grounds for beating or demeaning women or treatment of women as second class citizens after the gospels of Christ.

Liberals and atheists love to pretend they are the same though.

That's where I'm torn. I completely understand it. Of course they would present it as such if they actually believed it to be true. But the unwillingness of some people to question their beliefs maddens me. I would hold those that doubt it but instead introduce this belief as absolute more accountable.

Although I'm in no position to judge.

Fi is exhausting. :(


Basically anything that in the short or long term impairs the safety or progress of others. It's a spectrum as I see it.

The "don't question anything" and "question everything" crowd are two sides of the same coin. Absolute in their ways and those who indulge in these practices are often unable to see beyond their preferred way of thinking. Either approach is not unique to a certain group of people.

Parent raises child in a certain religious belief because doing anything otherwise would impair the safety or progress of the child. Moral?

And 'immoral' might be too strong a word.

Fair enough.

I'm so out of touch with what's going on here. Man, you leave for an hour...:unsure:

So [MENTION=27574]Cowardly[/MENTION] loves me :)hifive:), I'm with [MENTION=25377]SearchingforPeace[/MENTION] to some extent, and [MENTION=25403]ZombieNinjaPirate[/MENTION] posed a really qood question about a passage from the Quran... that [MENTION=26151]Mustafa[/MENTION] (that sounds like the Lion King) called Satan...even though it's straight out of the Quran. :thinking:

I usually don't abuse the ellipses this badly.

Technically I'm Lucifer but I think he's the same as Satan.
