Morality is the Trojan horse Religion uses to pull people into it's beliefs.
First you think, yea...Jesus is alright...he loves me and wants me to love others...
next thing you know you are believing that you have to kill the pariahs that don't believe the book you got....nobody expected the Spanish Inquesition you know.
those voices say for everyone to believe the same thing...
uh...
do these voices...
are they like, you know, stereo...or do they seem like they are from one point or are they like surrond-sound at the movies or what exactly?
Look, strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out swords ... that's no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
I understand that you want to redefine public education as a Religion, but no, a State Religion is not "public education"...as it would be in a place that had a State Religion.
That we don't have a State Religion is why it's so necessary to have a "public education"...if the State was the Church, a public "State" education would be a State Religion education. If the State was in charge of Religious education and it was a Religious State, all State education would be Religious education.
that we don't have a State Religion or a King is one of the great things about America.
When people point out that others from all over the world want to come here, the fact that there is no State Religion or King here are a few of the more popular reasons why.
freedom from State Religion or freedom from a King are what a lot of people think of when they say America is freedom.
To escape the King's Church is why the bodine sytle Puritans came here in the first place.
you have told me that they aren't wrong simply because they are the law.
I do not believe I said they are right simply because they are the law. I think someone else said you should obey them simply because they are the law. What I have written is that the drug laws are basically good.
so, there was no religion back then?
or is this "religious" morality deal decided by a popularity contest?
I don't know.
slavery was recognized in the Bible, you know.
so, how does that fit in with your little "religion=morality" deal then?
it doesn't do anything. You appear to think that morality is something apart from society. You couldn't be more wrong.
so, you are saying that slavery is moral.
who's society?
the Church's?
so you are saying there is no morality outside the Church, crabs?
just the opposite...you are the one saying that morality=Religion
religion and morality are nearly synonymous. religion has impressed upon many a society a morality.
uh...okay
backs away
I fixed it, crabs. you must be a real, dip.
that last post was just funnin' with ya...I edit typos after I post a lot too.
yes, Religion has impressed upon societies Religion by using morality as a carrot.
that Religion has co-oped morality to persuade the masses in no way says that Religion and morality are the same.
I am sorry that you are too damn dense to understand it, crabs. Religion and morality are nearly identical.

I know you believe this. You believe a lot of lies.
you would rather I believe Jim Jones or Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell or Jimmy Swaggart or David Koresh or...etc...?
No, I believe Jesus Christ.
so do they. have you talked with Jesus lately...they did. They had him talk to them as well.
hell, Koresh believed he was Jesus Christ.
and Children believe in Santa Claus.
do you believe in Superman too?
did Jesus tell you that?
No, Jesus didn't tell me that, crabs. You told me that by your words.
Jesus speaks to you, doesn't he.
you hear voices, right?
I can't hear the voices that you do, crabs, no one can.
that's because I don't hear voices.
not Jesus, not God...no voices
has Jesus been telling you that I hear voices again? That guy is such a liar.
Hmmm. Sounds lonely.
you are warped, crabs. But God will forgive you if you ask him.
I see voices.
 i see dumb people....they're everywhere...they don't even know they're dumb. welcome back, scribe!
Whoa man...TMI...kay...is cool. peace out. Over.
 i wasn't talking about you :)
Is all good, dude. Way to go Jellyman!
he told you to say that just now, didn't he?
he told you to say that just now, didn't he?
No he tells everyone. You just have to listen.
everyone who listens hears voices...
uh...
uh...
and if you listen....
those voices say for everyone to believe the same thing...
uh...
do these voices...
are they like, you know, stereo...or do they seem like they are from one point or are they like surrond-sound at the movies or what exactly?

Well if the masses are as insane as you are I would rather have it based on a "farcical aquatic ceremony."
you are the one pointing out that the masses should all be hearing voices, not me.
then go back to England and worship the King.
This is America,
we don't have a King
or a State Religion
or a State Religion
Sure we do. It's called "public" education.
and we try our best not to let people make laws based on the voices in their heads.

Another prime example of the irrationality of the proabortion movement: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,106880,00.html
It does seem as if abortion is THE key issue for Democrats. It is clearly their main, if not only, litmus test for judges.
Happy New Year to everyone. I hope the New Year brings incresed butcherings of unbabies. I mean, what the hell, it doesn't effect us.

Incresed? :)
Let me try that again. I swear I used spell check!!!
Happy New Year to everyone. I hope the New Year brings increased butcherings of unborn babies. I mean, what the hell, it doesn't effect us.

isn't Roe v. Wade the law of the land?
I thought you were supposed to support the laws...that they were correct by virtue of simply being the law.

Aren't anti drug laws the law of the land?

Tell me how I violate the pro abortion law, dip?
absolutely.
they are wrong.
you have told me that they aren't wrong simply because they are the law.
that's a good point.
you can't.
you have told me that they aren't wrong simply because they are the law.
I do not believe I said they are right simply because they are the law. I think someone else said you should obey them simply because they are the law. What I have written is that the drug laws are basically good.
here's what you said about me in relation to laws...
now presumably you base your positions and advocate them based on the laws, since you complained that I didn't.
