Are you asking if others perceive religion as being dead or, are you stating a belief that it is already dead and we should already understand your belief? My position is that "belief" itself is a religion, and that everyone has their own opinion on the matter.
Religion, at least organized religions, are based on beliefs that really reflect superstition and mysticism not hope and spiritual enlightenment. It doesn't take people long to see the hypocrisy those who claim to speak for God reek of. Hate gays, hate women, hate other religions, hate, hate, hate all while preaching love thy neighbor.
lol....ohhhhhhh. Because neither you nor I nor Takiji have been on here much recently. BTW, good to see you....sort of. I don't believe any of us, mentioned above, are truly that political (with exceptions for particular "causes", mine being the callous nature of how America treats it's poor, due to political bs). Too much time here would only instill hatred in us, if we're not careful.
No one will ever make any difference with the political pin heads here, just like trying to reason with the religious, if you could, there wouldn't be any.
JoeNation would agree with you completely. Me? Eh, you're right about the pin heads, but not every republican here is one, and respect is a two-way street with them...much like it is with myself. If I'm treated respectfully, if people's comments allow for some acknowledgement that not all things "Liberal" are "bad", I can return the courtesy. If not, I have no problem ripping into someone. That isn't to say that doing so is right, mind you, and I acknowledge that quite a few of my comments are exactly what I described above as being "disrespectful" or "blanket statements" about republicans as a whole. I do however state from time to time that while I say this or that to specific people, or to republicans as a whole, I know that a lot of republicans are decent people. Hell, most (if not all, damn close to all) families in America are mixed politically-speaking. I care very much for my extended families, even if they are republican. I just won't take any shit from 'em lol
You can pretty much write off rimmer, coiny, and lil Davy. Lost causes. I only come here to annoy them. They are the only ones left anyway. They live for my posts. They need a windmill. That's how weak their convictions are.
Yep, they qualify as "pin heads"....they practically define it. The only thing stopping me from saying that they do define it is that their bs isn't of their own making, it's only their regurgitation of the shit they swallow whole from their puppet-masters. Parrots are like that. P.S. - Remember how I taught not-ok how to use images of parrots? The ungrateful little bastard never even thanked me! Or how about when their arguments mysteriously began mirroring my own? Pathetic. They really have trouble with original thoughts. I doubt they even know how to have one anymore. P.S.S. - I'm currently working on getting them to express their fears in a more coherent manner. The way they do it now is all over the place. I'm considering making them fear their gods in a more comprehensive way, but I probably won't go there....much. Hehhehhehhehheh
They really have no originality and pretty much copy everything they see me do. They follow me from thread to thread because even they know just how painfully boring it is to talk to each other. It's sort of sad to think that they are granted the leeway by society to manage their own lives. Not that they are doing very well but the noise, the noise, the noise... Like Obama said,....
