- Religious bashing
- Posted by mrniceguy@serenity.org
Recently there was a thread which degenerated into bashing a particular
religion. I would hope we can avoid that kind of discussion here. There
is no, let me repeat, no particular religion about which flaws and
internal problems and practices can stand close inspection. The religion
one can deduce about at least one of those participating in the bashing
has multiple such problems, a case of pot calling kettle black. Nuff

And yet, here you are starting a whole new thread. What's that about, if
not to inflame?

Actually, I'm a Frisbeeterian. That's right, we worship Frisbees. It's a
great religion (and lots of fun), but it has one serious drawback. When you
die -- your soul gets caught on the roof and you can't get it down.
As to bashing religion. I firmly believe that each person makes their own
choice as to what or whom to believe in -- and as such -- we should respect
that decision.

So, I'm guessing...a day at the park with your
dog and a frisbee would be the equivalent of
an all day tent revival?

so what would you make of Carlin's take on religion?
Do you believe in God?
No.
Bang. you're dead.
Do you believe in God?
Yes.
Do you believe in my God?
No.
Bang. You're dead.
What do you think of my take on the subject:
"People do not develop lasting relationships with God because of
religion. They do so in spite of it."

But take an old bum like me. Every time I get some hope
some "?" spouting off then acting like a real heathen with
no real morals but a moral worded mouth spoils my hopes.
When I was expected to die about six years ago I had
a rash of this. I had a lot of equipment stolen allegedly
by one that hassled me in the hospital trying to "save"
me.
I respect any person with religion of any faith if they
practice the faiths tenets.

I personally have a tendency to think that
when one idea contradicts another, at least
one of the two is false. Taking that assumption,
I can't help but think that most of the religions
(AND anti-religions!) in the world are false.
That does not mean I have any "logical" basis
for being obnoxious about which are true.
