Greetings from The Humungus! The Lord Humungus! The Warrior of the Wasteland! The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla!

Which thread we talking about here? :)

I'm going to ask my mentor, Benny Hinn, about this.

You must be some kind of idiot to quote only part of what I said. You have reading difficulties or something?

I think the mole people will be the reason we become extinct.

They deserve nothing but the lowest contempt. Or at the very most the sympathy you'd give to the victim of brainwashing. They're perhaps second on the list of most ridiculous religions started by thieves and charlatans... right under Scientology. It's a choice they've made (after being brainwashed, normally by parents) to live like this and sell their Amway god.

You must be some kind of idiot who doesn't realize I am laughing because there is no such fucking thing as what I quoted... sorry it was too hard for someone of your superior intellect to grasp the concept. I'll try to make it more clear so you can stay in the box with your thinking.

That said.. Not all wars are religious wars, although it's often the lubrication used. But I guess I could imagine one scenarios where religion *might* bring us to the point of extinction and that would be if man made global warming is a reality, that the idea that god is "looking out for us" and "answering our prayers" and will take care of believers allows enough people to delay changing their lifestyles.. Or forms part of the back bone of significant voting blocs that become politicised with the green movement seen as leftist and "atheistic with nature as a replacement for religion" (kinda like now, but continuing in the face of any further evidence over the following years) which might allow much larger issues to continue such as a religious right backed future repub government allowing seabed methane mining etc.
And if we weren't able to geo-engineer solutions.. and if things went Permian in a couple of centuries.. then maybe you could say religion caused it.
Lot of ifs though. I don't think there are many ways we could kill ourselves off through even unconventional warfare.. with 6 billion of us we should be able to withstand genetically engineered virii... maybe.

Oh I just made a stupid thread about gas prices and teens, and posted that exact same photo. Just thought maybe you used it to make your avatar.

Yeah that makes perfect sense.

No


"a" Religion Will

i better start building my Agnostic League HQ in the remote mountains of Andes ...

Matt, I would be very glad to help you with this ... Ok one of the absolute biggest things that "religion" has directly affected is in the area of human sexuality. To cause one to feel as though they can't even abstain from masturbating for their own God will screw you up big time. In this particular example, I am of course talking about the catholic church taking a chapter of the bible totally out of contex and adopting a doctorine forbidding people to masturbate. This is both unnatural and impossible if you are male. It causes low self esteem and shame and guilt to consume our youth. I know one thing and that is if God created us to be sexual, it is a spit back in his face to pretend we are not.

The text in the bible FYI was about a man spilling his seed after God commanded him to impregnate his dead brothers wife. He pulled out and spilled his seed and God got angry. He was angry because he had not obeyed his command to impregnate not because his jizz went on the floor!! But this is exactly the basis by which it is forbidden in that particular religion!! Now countless thousands have since read the same text and surely know it is based on a misunderstood interpretation, yet they have never chose to change their docturine. There is yet another example of how religion affects people badly. I mean a dad to tell his son he can't beat off knowing its based on misinformation .. Shameful.

Also surely it can be directly a religion when people kill others in the name of ALa or whomever. Right? The religion and essentially the particular people in the sect of religion that caused these things to happen. There is history by which you can clearly see religion at the core for many horrible things .. However and as I said earlier.. It is the greed and power of a very select few that are benefiting from these "religions" and they will continue to perpetuate and exploit the basic human need to be loved and be needed and or important .,.. for purpose.

I understand religion has a purpose, but IMO its purpose is evil and that is how I feel. I think the facts of history prove that.

All of us have always had that lil something deep inside us, from when we were children even... that untouchable but knowing that we were each created special. That there is a higher purpose maybe but we all just know that there must be a GOD. Then we let inherited faith systems or hard knox and control rewrite the voice inside us. Its not our fault but it happens all the time anyway. I know the voice inside and it is very cool.. But Religion holds folks down and keeps them from who they were created to be. That is not what any God would do to you.

Hope you receive this in the spirit it was intended. Thanks for listening!
