Good for you then. An open mind is always a good thing to have. Better than an open skull by quite some distance, in my opinion. ;)

I'm a Christian (Lutheran denomination) and a firm believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. This thread is purely upsetting.

Better watch where you go with religion and people's lives. :nervous:

Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

No it's not, it's an intellectual and metaphysical discussion. It's not a flame of religion, and nobody is making you read it. If you can't handle it, leave it alone.

Besides, if I find religion upsetting and yet I see a Church when I look out of the window, had the religion better be careful with my mind? :blah:

As a general rule, everyone. But no-one specific at the moment.

Thou shalt not kill unless it's a homo or fortune teller. :nod:

Apparently it's okay to stone them to death.

Then don't read this thread, simple.  We are (were?) having a good discussion and making headway.

In my opinion, you can make a scripture say almost anything you want to twist it to.

But to return to CPS's (i think) earlier statement about dogma getting "in the way" of progress, keeping my above statement in mind, if you can make the words say anything, why isn't there a branch of a large religious establishment that emraces say, genetic engineering.

I certainly embrace it - having had big problems with my wisdom teeth I see no reason at all not to "Geneer" these vestigal traits out of my body.  Another good example is hereditary conditions such as heamatitis and bad eyesight.  

Another point is that the rate the repository of human information is growing we have reached a point where most people are unable to adequately understand most tasks they will be required to acheive in order to progress to the next cycle.  What happens when it takes a genius by todays' standards to make a breakthrough in mathematics or SemiConductors?  We are rapidly approaching such an impasse.  THere is an argument against tinkering with genes and making "superbabies", but would you rather have a stagnant global society and technocracy while our evolution catches up with us?

Watch your spamming this might happen to you. :D:snipe:
It's a fact.  Stupid people have stupid children.  If you are stupid, don't have sex.  If you insist on having sex.  Have sex with animals.  If you have sex with an animal.  Make sure the animal is smarter than you are.  Just encase of some biological fluke you and the animal have offspring, they won't be as stupid as you are.   One more thing.  Don't assume the animal is protected.  If the animal has a condom, or if female some interuterian device, insist they wear it.  Help stop this mindless mindlessness.  Keep your stupidty to yourself.  This message was brought to you by the Committee of Concerned Citizens that are Smarter than You are.

 
To put it simply:
Religion is nothing more than a primitive attempt at explaining what cannot be explained.
I grew out of those church lies at a young age.
Go ahead and flame me but it will only further prove my point that weak minds need religion to maintian sanity and a certain level of order.

Knowing that I'm nothing more than a very Intelligent ape does not bother me at all.
I accept nature, what I cannot control and what I can never know.
People who cannt accept these things have religion to fill it all in.

Remember this next time you pray to your god.

I dont think the Holocaust was about religion at all. Hitler did not believe in any religion as evidenced by his quote: "Religion in the opiate of the masses."
Hitler commited the Holocaust to purify the "German mother Country" and bring about a new Aryan race.
He used the Jewish people to blame and exploit for his own political ends. (Just like Admiral Bosch and the Vasudans.)
The Jewish people have been persecuted for thousands of years.
Each mass murder is just one more example of what I was saying earlier.
I respect people's religions but here I am just voicing my own views on Theology.
Also my first post was targeting ALL religions Not just christianity

"Religion...is the opiate of the masses" was a quote from Karl Marx, not Hitler! :eek: A little diametrically opposed in ideological terms... ;)

And I agree that the Holocaust was not primarily about religion. The Nazis tired to shift the focus to race, for a start. The Jews, like the Communists, Socialists, Trades Unionists, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, Gypsies, alcoholics, prostitutes, and mentally ill were 'impure' in racial terms, did not confrom to the values of the Volksgemeinschaft/i] (ie. not working hard in honourable professions; lack of community spirit) or just made good scapegoats for all of Germany's problems.

No, it's true. Do a web search on "jewish genetics", and you'll find thousands of reputable sites on the subject.

Really? Hmm, interesting. I'd always considered it a manufacture of Nazi propaganda. The only thing that I am wondering is if it's the whole "Irish people tend to have orange hair" type thing - thus they are a 'race'. Although you could say that they're racially Celtic.

For the record, I don't have orange hair. ;)
