Faith and Religion

[aRdja]

Let’s get this thread back on track...

 

Here’s an example of the right using religion to crush the left.

Weird thing about religion: it makes some people focus on (and fight over) the minutiae of what divides us, like the followers of the gourd and the followers of the shoe; on the other hand, it makes other people look for what we have in common, like these people in Berlin.

I think the bottom line is that whether your instincts are cunty or decent, you can use religion as a channel for them.

Not the first time Berlin has been instrumental in bringing people closer together in this thread.

Interesting that even though it's a church, they're still making the women stand at the back. Presumably misogyny is also something that unites them.

At least there’s no ducking stools.

Are we still on this? You pretending you care just less than the effort it takes to search for one of the many times I’ve already done it? In the time it took you to write that post, you could have found one of the many examples of me saying it.

 

I’ve made an effort not to get into this bollocks, and I actually think this makes you look like a cunt because to me it looks like this...

 

Me: evidence

Me: evidence

Me: evidence

Me: evidence

Me: evidence

Me: evidence

Me: evidence

Me: I’ve posted it before.  
You: scumbag for not posting evidence

 

Okay, good stuff. You continually goading has won the day. I’ll get on the PC later and do it. Again. This time I’ll post links to it in my signature, that way the next dull cunt that tries the ‘rely on tedium’ defence can get the information that they’ll immediately dismiss by saying ‘Muslims aren’t a race, so prejudging all of them as savages is fine’ or ‘its okay to defend a guy saying ‘you sound like a n*****r, white people don’t talk like that’. Definitely worth my time, this. 
 

Anyway, you win. I’ll do it. 

I'm imagining the scenes when your mum asks you to clean your room

 

Fuck off, I'm busting your balls

Happy enough for a female pastor to give an address.

It's all a load of shite! If it's important to you and you believe and have faith, good luck to you, but leave the rest of us alone!

 

I wouldn't have religion anywhere near schools either!

[Rico1304]

Things like this are the reason I think religious people are a bit mental

Thats an impressive sized bathroom/toilet you have in your house.

Is that the same anti Semitic image Corbyn tweeted or liked or something. There's definitely a Jewish Caricature look to the elite at the table. It's not the point Ice cube is making but it's bound to be turned into it.

That's the one. It was posted on Facebook with a write-up about how the local council were removing it as an act of political censorship (or so the poster claimed). Corbyn never "liked" the image - he later claimed he hadn't looked at it properly - but he made a throwaway comment about how anyone having a mural censored is in good company, because it happened to Diego Viera [sic].

 

If that's not enough to make people think "thank God that worse-than-Hitler bastard never got in, or the country would be in a mess" then I don't know what is.

Insane. Let's let old virgins look after the kids.

 

The Catholic Church with all its property, its art all its treasures and land must really be worth trillions and they don't pay tax, why would they be against helping to fund the countries they dwell in rather than have a fucking bake sale now and then and raise 48 quid for the local hospice. If I had the power id financially abuse that religious corporation to with in an inch of its life, taxed to heaven seeing how it cares more for money and reputation than the countless children who have been abused, that grow up broken due to sick men parading as decent ones. I reckon there would be more outrage at taxing the church than there is at the church raping children.

 

I'm all for spirituality, for personal faith but you won't find God in religion. Religion to me is just spirituality corrupted. "The kingdom of heaven is within"  isnt that in the Bible. The Church preaches the kingdom of heaven needs lots of money.

Could cure global poverty in the blink of an eye. Instead, the cover for child molesters.  
 

if you want to recruit members surely ‘we’ve saved every starving person in the world’ is a compelling message. But all religions need suffering, it’s currency.

Utter lunatics.
