Ye Religion Thread

[|iR|Focalor]

Coors:
I picture a bunch of a guys standing shoulder to shoulder around the rim of a huge beer vat, hammering back bottles of shitty beer, and pissing it right back out into the vat where there's a slow moving conveyor belt underneath it, and the vat is filling each bottle with 12 ounces of frothy pissy filthiness. And of course, all of them are named Rocky, that way they can't be sued because they clearly advertise "Tap the Rockies".

Don't worry, I haven't been converted, but I'm surpised this hasn't been posted.

A small church service for you blasphemers !

  ... forgot all about that scene.

Sermon:

And spotteth twice they the camels, before the third hour.
And so the Midianites went forth to Ram Giliad in
Kadesh Bilgemath by Shor Ethba Regalion to the house
of Gash-Bil-Betheul-Bazda, he who brought the butter dish
to Balshazar and the tent peg to the house of Rashevon.
And there, slew they the goats, yea, and placed they
the bits in little pots.

Here endeth the lesson.


Let us praise God:

O Lord, ooh you are so big!
So absolutely huge!
Gosh, we're really impressed down here, I can tell you.
Forgive us O Lord, for this our dreadful toadying,
(And bare-faced flattery)
But you're so strong. And well, just so Super!
(Fantastic!)


Hymn:

O Lord please don't burn us,
don't grill or toast your flock.
Don't put us on the barbecue,
or simmer us in stock.
Don't braise or bake or boil us
or stir fry us in a wok.
Oh please don't lightly poach us
or baste us with hot fat.
Don't fricassee or roast us
or boil us in a vat,
and please don't stick thy servant, Lord
in a Rotissomat.

I'm starting to think that whatever religion you're into is one of those "crazy religios".

I don't have a religion
 

In what way do you not have a religion?

At the very least, you must concede you have a "mental state approaching religion" right?  But more than that, your mental state (approaching religion in the limit) would seem to be in agreement with very specific propositions from a particular religion:

So....



...it's funny because it's true?

Yes that is true; it is the word of god.

Wait.. "THAT IS THE WORD OF GOD?"

Your religion appears to be Christian-literalist.

........no?

Our crusading against God has worked to perfection! We must conjure our Dark Lord and tell him the good news! We have made another believer fall by the wayside! Victory is the Devil's!

I haven't been to church in like 15 years, I don't think that's very religious.  And no I don't agree with that, if I was to pick a religion it wouldn't be catholic or christian, although yes I do agree with the christian religion in principle.   Consider me someone who disagrees with the ahtiest agenda.

Ironic, usually it seems like the religious people are the ones with the agenda.

what charity?

what charity?

Exactly.

These principles?  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7735501683185935638#

Or which principles?  Remember, hell isn't mentioned in the old testament.  The idea of a god who sees fit to condemn unworthy portions of his beloved creation to eternal torture was promulgated by none other than Jesus.

I have never heard of that group, but they're entitled to their opinion in my opinion.  What's the ahtiest opinion, kill people, there is no consequence?  If the prisoners knew there was no consequence it would be even worse.  I can post videos of Jefferey Dahmer as well, but that's not saying much right?

a retarded sociopath's opinion might be "kill people, there is no consequence" but I doubt that any sane atheist would claim that.

People do not need fear tactics and fairy tales to instill them with morals. As social organisms we develop them as coping mechanisms to help us retain our place in the society that we live in and our standing among the people we depend upon for our very survival.

The consequences to killing people are not just to suffer in some magical afterlife.
The REAL consequences are what you have to deal with every day of your life after the fact: the punishment if you get caught, the revenge their loved ones might visit upon you, the emotional distress caused to you by ending someone's life, etc.

An athiest's opinion on that would be more like:

"If you kill people they DIE. End of story. You don't pay some price to a magical being, you don't go to a fictional fiery place, and they don't go to a mystical land of happiness and light. You continue to take an active part in the biological symphony we call life, and they do not."

  More people have been killed in the name of God than any other reason you could think of..if anything, without religion millions upon millions would of been saved.
