Is anyone here a Joinee?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

i actually try and converse with people when they come to my door, but they don't tend to be willing to listen.

Love the ep of Black Books where Bernard invites them in...

I ask these questions.

I have my own rule set. DOnt kill, be good. i tell them i dont need a book, or a guide, or religon to tell me that.

I then ask, instead of wasting time in church praying , why not get out there and do it?

I also ask, if there is a god? he creates the whole universe, pretty cool, planet earth, populates it with ppl, and then you think he wants his ass worshiped? an omnipotent being with an ego? eh?

Surely if the message from god is to 'love' he doesnt want worship, he wants you to get out there and just love?

We then went onto debate, or I said, I feel in the present world, western religons, (unlike spirtural faiths, Japanese faiths etc) are causing more harm then good.
Its sad because essentially they all have the same message, love your man, love each other, love everything. yet they feel the need to argue about small difference of faith, and sub-scripture. surely if there is a god, of any religon, this isnt what he wanted?

Finnaly being hit with, upon death you enter the kingdom of the lord, which can mean many a thing.
I ask, what of the tribes men, or the ppl who never came into contact with religon? do they not get this chance? they might be just as good as you and me?
this returns to sociolagy, they argue that if they are good ppl and love, thats because god put that there-i argue that from birth, u fall and hurt yourself, it hurts, your body reacts with pain, self preservation, you know that to try and hurt someone else gos against your own self preservation code, and thus must be wrong.

In short I tell them that my belife is to

Help and love ppl
Dont kill anyone.

Its pretty simple, and i dont need to waste time praying to the all mighty, or singing songs of indroctination.

indrocniation is fun to, I said, if I chanted "I hate god" for 10 years, what do u think I will belive?

they will be back, they have fun with me...

Id like to point out they I never mind listening to these ppl, I have my belife they have thiers, I like to try and understand everything I come into contact with, so that i feel my opinions can be justifyed or based upon some logical reason.

I dont honestly hate religon, I just have a generall Apathy for it. which can almost be worse in some cases...

I do honestly hate religion. It spreads intolerance, ignorance and self-righteousness, causes wars and suffering around the world, and doesn't actually appear to be good for anything.

If I have people come to the door I tell them they can suck my ass. I'm not wasting my time talking to them, and if I can insult their beliefs into the bargain, all the better. They're not going to change my mind and I can't be arsed trying to change theirs, so complicated and colourful abusive language helps fill that awkward gap in between my opening the door and slamming it in their stupid, god-fearing faces.

Yes, I'm intolerant.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

I'm pretty much of a similar mind as Impy is on this one[minus the religion stuff]. Not read the book, mind.

I look at something like the Sistine Chapel, or Mother Teresa and look at the wonderful potential of religion.

Then I look at fundamentalists and cry at it's shortcomings.

Course I then just have Ob service me and everything is alright.
