    Religion causes more wars than any other reason.

    Not only that, religion is useless, in solving conflicts, since if religion actually worked, why would the religious combatants even need to go to war to begin with.

    Wouldn't their so-called "religion" have helped them sort out their differences?

    In fact, religion, instead of helping man, is the biggest hindrance of progress.

    But it sure does "help" miserable stupid dumbfucks who live in a dustbowl, in need of a crutch.

    Jesus, Fucking Christ! Is this what your Bible taught you, or do you just have a learning disability, as a result of you folks marrying with your sisters and cousins.

    Okie-Dokie, nookie-nookie! :jester:

    Nice try, but it won't fly. You got caught in a lie. After telling us religion causes more wars, you now try to defend your stupid statement by arguing that because the people going to war had religions and because religion didn't prevent them from going to war, religion is somehow responsible. A lot of those people worshipped false gods or ignored the true one. By the same reasoning, it would be responsible for everything, good or bad, that's ever happened on the planet. God didn't prevent the dust bowl, so religion didn't work? I think it helped a lot of good folks get through the experience. I don't know of any religion that claimed it would prevent evil people from doing evil things, or from natural disasters from happening, or dumbasses from screwing things up for other people. If it did, you wouldn't be here posting your dumbass comments.

    Whoa!
    It's raining fire and brimstone in these parts lately, direct from dog, or rather, god himself.

    Okie-Dokie, nookie-nookie, displays his brand of Christian hate and anger, that will make the Kansas based, Westboro Baptist Church, members blush.

    Not suprising, since both Kansas and Oklahoma are close, neighboring states, somewhat similar to in-bred siblings. :jester:

    Such Christian hatred makes even Satan blush. :talk2hand

    So, unable to think of an intelligent reply, you resort to your playground tactics of calling names and hurling insults. How old are you?

    :parry:

    The War of the Roses were a series of civil wars fought in medieval England from 1455 to 1487 between Christians involving the House of Lancaster who wore badges of the red rose and fellow Christian members and supporters of the House of York who wore badges of the white rose.

    It is was a typical case of Christian assholes butchering each other, in total disregard for the commandment "thou shalt not kill" or just acting like typical Christian assholes.

    The War of the Roses was also fought to determine which rose was the real rose. The red rose or the white rose. Typical of Christian inbred mentality, these Christian fuckers were literally fucking themselves to death to determine which rose plant was the legitimate rose plant. The red rose or the white rose.

    This assinine mentality is similar to the establishments' current war on the plant cannabis. This is basically, a war against a plant.

    In other words, the roots of the War of the Roses was born of Christian stupidity, rendering their Christian religion, useless, quite similar to the current drug war.

    It is clear from perusing these threads that if religion did anything, we would all be loving and not tearing each other apart.

    But the fact is, even some of these phony "Christians" on this thread who only display their ignorance of their so-called version of their "Christian" religion, whatever the fuck it is, have no idea at all of their so-called "faith", let alone apply it.

    In short, Christians have no fucking idea of what the fuck they're talking about.

    Therefore, religion, like Christianity is useless, unless, of course, religion is used as a crutch or as a means to gain power and control in order to subjugate weaker peoples and cultures, or it is used as a form of addiction.

    In fact, religion of all kinds is the biggest scam invented by man.

    Anyone who uses his/her own mind to think for themselves and apply common sense, doesn't need religion.

    So because the two sides were nominally Christian (really the same faith) Christianity caused the war, even though Christianity was not an issue in it? Because Christianity made everybody "stupid". Is that your stupid argument? And you think the war was fought "to determine which rose plant was the legitimate rose plant"? They were symbols, man, as you said earlier! The war was about succession to the throne of England, and it was mainly about power, not religion or shrubs. Anybody who thinks your argument is logical has got to be stupid, so has no standing to criticize Christians for being stupid, unless you think it takes one to know one.

    Once again, religion are only ideas of the truth.


    Humans are only now, within the past hundred years or so, seperating themselves from the narrow sighted ideas of the older religions.

    And Stev90, you blame the world's problems on one single facet of human culture. You are truly a fool if you believe that without religion conflict would end. Humans are always at conflict and will always be at conflict without some force to unify them. And that is what religion attempts to do.

    It is YOUR mindset the leads to conflict. No one came in saying that you have to believe what we believe, but you insult and degrade those who wish to perceive existance in their own way. Your ego is unbecoming of you.

    What is my "GOD"? It is the source of creation and the force that keeps the balance. It is everything and nothing. A completely abstract idea that can not properly be described by human language due to its complexity. We do not try to grasp it in its entirety, but rather search to understand as much of it as a being with limited scope can. We didn't discover the atom on accident and then realize that everything is made up of smaller parts. We already knew this and then began experiments to prove it.

    DO NOT group religion with Christianity. Just because one religion scares and offends you doesn't give you ammo against the rest. Each of your attempts to attack religion conveys your ignorance of the purpose and application of different ideologies.

    Maitreya

    If your little mind cannot describe "God", did you use your big, fat ass to
    figure out this completely abstract idea ? :jester:




    If you really are "Maitreya", the future Buddha, don't you have better things to do, like sitting, meditating under a cave, tree or something, rather than watching online porn in between posting in Philosophy and Religions forums? LOL. :drool:

    Maitreya, sad to say, but you truly are the fool.
    Have a nice day.

    The John Jay Report, commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops found accusations against 4,392 priests in the USA, equalling about 4% of all U.S. priests between 1950 and 2002.


    So, Maitreya, in your role as the "future Buddha", have you been abusing little Buddhist boys yourself? :toetap:

    Stev90,

    So, you accept tired prejudices and negative stereotypes as fact, and refer to your unexamined beliefs as proof of your "intelligence." Why should I believe you?

    You argue for the classic logic of bigotry (all X are Y). It doesn't matter what X and Y actually are, to accept only one relationship between X and Y is an unnecessary intellectual limitation, it is willful ignorance. Why should I believe you?

    I hope you never have to face anything worse than (or even, as bad as) the kind of abuse you believe is acceptable from those who are suspicious of YOUR personal and community identities. That just wouldn't be fair, would it?

    Peace and Love

    It's really worse than the classic logic of bigotry. He not only relies on stereotyping, but really far out stereotyping bordering on stream of consciousness. If I understand the reply to Maitrea, Stev90's argument goes as follows: a small minority of Catholic priests have been accused of abusing children. Maitrea uses a Buddhist name on Hip Forums. Therefore, he is also supect of abusing children. The "argument" makes no sense at all. Stev's last reply to me was "HeeeHeee!!! Okie-dokie, hokey-pokey, nookie-nookie".--pure gibberish. Logic is obviously not his strong suit.
