And that's where the catholic guilt comes in!...yepAnd, the 'best' part, we ALL do it. Seems to be the 'job' of man to rise above 'being above' other people.
idk about that, i dont like to categorize myself, but id just say i know how it feels to be have problems and anyone with common morality should know that helping our species as herd is nothing but beneficial(depending on how you help someone of course). i think being christian constitutes one to believe in a higher being and deny many common facts, im simply not that type of person. i dont exactly put myself before others, but if im not too busy i will be glad to lend a hand.
all you really have to know is the religion all of it came from really, hinduism is the base religion and many follow. once youve read whatever propaganda hinduism is, youll probably realize your religion is a knock off, its like drinking pepsi, then drinking coke. you notice their similarities, but theres just a different tag on the front. any knowledge is good though, always read and continue to use your brain as your "god" wanted you to, dont waste it asking for forgiveness and thanking someone for supposedly dying on a cross for your "predetermined sins". people have died worse deaths i believe, for many good causes, but i dont go to an establishment to praise him/her on sundays, or write a book about said person and how they were so inherently good they could only be related to god. i hope you have as much fun putting together the puzzle that is "the right religion", doubt there is or ever will be one(besides pastafarianism of course!).
some religions seem to emphasize shunning a non believer though, this i know to be true. i know people can interpret things differently, but i think it takes a lot to push someone to homicide, and maybe even suicide to kill any non believers, a prime example of how religion diversity could cause problems, and how religion is basically mind control.
not what i said, although i guarantee some people who love attention have done so for this reason. all religions originated from another, saying your one of them is just another way to make yourself diverse, im not saying this is their goal but i feel like whoever created these knockoff religions probably wanted to be different from the one they copied, and loosely base all the stories from the original book, and maybe change some names or places here and there. but still, they're basically all the same, its like one person wearing multiple masks.
Well of course you have your minority...
this is a quote....
...well said. That pretty much sums it up - put your brain to good use and don't be a dck.
Which is why I think people need to have their own thoughts.
I think it may actually be the first form of law instead. It was invented by the first government ( a Barbarian chief most likely ) as a way to kept control over a group of non-educated barbarian.
Agree a person should follow it's own belief

Of course not. I've seen dogs save kittens from a swimming pool before.

Oddly enough while at the dentist last week I was reading an article about the Amish in a magazine. Unbeknownst to myself but the Amish have the largest rate of suicide outside of Islam. Which kinda makes sense to me, as I have seen just how horrific they can be to a non-believer or someone who is "exiled". shunning, especially in the Amish community, can be the blame to such a high suicide rate. If I remember correctly the average age was like 18 or right around the time of Amish "courting" or dating period where they have the option of leaving the cult.
I like that. People revere Heysoos so much, that nobody even wants to attempt to live their life like he did. Although, he told us that WE can do anything HE could!
