Is that a new brand of religion you are advocating, gravedancer?

ISP

gravedancer

I am not an advocate. The more people are misled by their own fantasies the more graves there are to dance on...

The £$%£ Religion could be quite liberating!

gravedancer - you are part of the problem of the world.

if we could all just respect everyones personal beliefs, the world would find peace.

religion does not cause war, hatred, etc. - it is people like you who think you 'know it all' and attempt to forcefully broadcast your shallow ideology upon others.

respect my beliefs and I will respect yours.

provoke me and (in my case) I will defend the cross.

Hi speechless! You got me somewhat speechless! Religion is pretty crappy do you not think? Christendom has had its crappy moments as much as anyone!

ISP

gravedancer

I respect your beliefs.

Don't they teach you that people who sin and don't avail themselves of the Christ and the Cross will burn in hell?

Want some pictures from religion as to what happens to people like me? I am sure I could find a whole lot spanning hundreds of years...

Or do you not believe in hell and damnation? If you do I respect that!!

speechless

ISP -

religion involves people.

and, unfortunately, people just like gravedancer.

so, is religion somewhat crappy? the answer is hell yeah.

but it is the PEOPLE, not religion, who force their beliefs upon others.

in the case of history, such practice has resulted in some of the most deplorable of events ever imaginable.

what our American forefathers did to the native Indians was deplorable; what Hitler did to the Jews was deplorable

the list is endless!

but it is all about PEOPLE; virtuous religion, in-and-of-itself, is pure.

the arguement of mind control is also invalid; from life to death, no matter your religion, you are in some shape or form indoctrinated in a certain humanistic belief structure. there is no escaping this reality. only the insane can do so...
