I'd love to know what other anti-muslim threads I've started
[edit]
Ah, you mean another along on the forum, not me personally, my apologies. But no... nothing specific but it is an article that officially confirms the persecution that <cough> certain groups (politically not religiously) have written off as bollox. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Yes, that's what I meant. You're likely to attract unwholesome attention, you see, along the lines of what I meant; not a personal attack.
It's unfortunate that yes, it does seem bad at the moment. China (although they persecute any religion, AFAIK), the Middle East, Africa. Generally it seems frequently tied to education and culture, but not always. Look at Syria, re Christianity, as it was before 2011, when the bottle was uncorked and the extremists let out, and now. Their new constitution (2012) guarantees the rights of all religions, and shares that (in articles 3 and 33) with the previous one. Of course, the primitive nature of some segments of the global population does promote internecine conflict

Yes, I read somewhere that China are using the threat of CCTV and facial recognition to "geofence" entire village populations. And I don't think they're worried about the 100%-wrong hit rate that the Met Police were getting with facial-rec
It's at these moments I used to link the Black Eyed Peas "Where is the love?" but now I go with this:

Forget God, religions were invented as a means of social organisation and health and safety.
Basics
Don't kill, obvious
Don't sleep around stops STDs
Honor mum and dad. look after the old and if you are a kid do as you are told and keep in line.
Don't steal, really obvious.
Then you have the things like the jewish little hat thing, came from needing to wear a proper hat in the sun.
Only eat with one hand and use the other hand to wipe your arse, stops infection when sanitation isn't around
Not eating certain foods, can't store them long enough and they give you food poisoning.
Day of rest, we all like a day off.
These basics can be the foundation for any religion, the rest is just to enforce the rules via a third party, remember your Mum saying I'll tell your Dad? Or if you are good you can have some sweets? Same thing. The rest is just fll in and the politics crap that cause the wars. ____________________ Famous last words of Humpty Dumpty. " Stop pushing me "

I disagree that core Christian values are madness, and I disagree with ignoring history because it doesn't fit a narrative.

Core christian values aren't madness, they are common sense in a polite society.
What is madness is the idea that the slightest breach, even in thought, will lead to a life of purgatory.
That is about control, with the educated enforcing their beliefs (putting the fear of god) on the uneducated, mainly by limiting education to what the high ups allow you to know.
Fortunately, we now live in more enlightened times, where people can be educated by other than the religious. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

They're common sense in a Christian society. Politeness is simply adherence to the social etiquette in place.

You've never heard of the act of confession? It's where you talk through the things you've done wrong, accept that you're in the wrong and commit to moving on from those things and trying to be a better person. Confession is all about self reflection and holding yourself up to better ideals. At it's very core Christianity accepts that we aren't and will never be perfect. It isn't about retribution for wrong doing either. We can't become better people until we move on from our mistakes.

Christianity is really about controlling yourself (judge not others) by adhering to a set of rules that are actually intended to enable you to live a better life, and by that I mean a more personally fulfilled life.
Note, I'm referring to Christianity and not the Church. The church is a useful vessel for worship (reminding yourself of the values) but it is as flawed as every other large organisation.

Some of us live in more enlightened times. I think the assumption that we are all intelligent and fair thinking individuals is a stretch. There are plenty of immoral people out there, just as there has always been.
Christianity is in a broad sense the belief that there is more to life than immediate personal gratification. That there is a higher ideal to aspire to.
A lot people see religion as a set of rules and being told what to do, to which the natural reaction is "I won't be told what to do!". Consequently they never get as far as understanding what the rules can teach us about life and be of benefit.
Society has changed a hell of a lot in the last 50 years and the church's way of delivering Christian teachings has fallen behind (reflected in lower mass attendance). On the one hand the church has remained stable in a changing world, but it's also not reaching people. |
