Misty i'm not belittling anyone, i put people who believe in Mormonism ,Mohammed, Hinduism, fairies ghosts werewolves, Thor, Rastafarian,wicca, etc etc in one basket they believe in something (i worship the ocean,Don't you oppress me) as has been said succinctly by ptygmit lets let them all believe & do what they want, when it starts impinging on us non believers its time to draw a line in the sand, the church of whatever should not receive tax benefits or the power to indoctrinate my kids to their beliefs, which i dont want, nor should they be in any political system Or billion dollar company's i.e life house.
Snuff you are entitled to you beliefs but i don't want your "gift from god" nor did i want a gift from the church of Thor recently in NImbin.
Bowral "religion or belief,call it what you will, but if whatever you believe imposes itself on others or lowers others,then it dosent mean much"
Religion imposes itself on world events & our daily lives, religious beliefs being forced on public schools political/religious parties tax benefits etc etc
Bowral "live and let live,the guy who started the thread,well he seems to have an exalted opinion of his own opinion,he would be a barrel of laughs,you wouldn't want him around too long though,imagine if you had a different opinion to him/her"
Sorry you took it that way bowral reckon i would be the highlight of your dinner party, i certainly would not pigeonhole you, i would let you do that yourself just adding to conversation you can disagree if you want without going towards comments like an exalted opinion just because i disagree, but it may say something that you think my opinion is exalted?
Ophir"Jesus is an indisputable fact in recorded history, so what's their problem? They just don't want to face the facts." Prove jesus existed????????, the shroud of turin which was held up as religious fact has now been debunked next point.
The biggest problem i see for investors (HC is an investor site & thats why we are here) who are religious is they cannot access the mind boggling returns from their religion as share holders, I'd invest in religion even as an aetheist sadly no one can & the books are closed, if they were open the tax benefits from the government & its shareholders would shut it down.
