The God Squad- Religion obsessives and philosophical types unite!

[Mars_Rover]

You best be careful not to go back in history to criticise Christians then. Oh, how brave the noble atheists are. And so much smarter than the monotheistic herd!

 

[Jackie London]

If you really wanted to know, a quick search on youtube or google would give you the answer.

But why do any research while you can just whine and pretend to be a victim?

I do agree with you however, that the muslims will blow you up while christians are incapable of violence. Just look at history.

I sure hope you were being ironic there, dear.

You really think I would seriously say "christians are incapable of violence"?

You sort of have a history of saying things that are obviously wrong, like that time you said Richard Dawkins is intelligent....

No, he's the unwanted lovechild of the midgets Åsa and Bengt who live in my friend Charlotte's wardrobe and keep hiding her stuff. But now she has castrated Bengt so they can't have any more children (thank god!).

Palästinalied "("Paelestina lied"/"Palastinalied")-Crusaders hymn by Walther von der Vogelweide (c. 1170 – c. 1230) Lol


Regardless of the sentiments, this song is haunting.

Season's greetings; peace and goodwill to all men - and women - and all sentient beings - and inanimate ones while we're at it - and even to metaphysical thoughts!

God come down, IF you're really there, well You're the ONLY one who Claims to CARE.

Today is the day: Happy Festivus, everyone.

 

[PregnantForTheLastTime]

I'm going to sue my boss. They're making me work on Festivus!

 

[Anaesthesine]

So you should: I think there is an undeclared war on Festivus in this country, and we need to do something about it.

Great thread! I can't believe I didn't notice it earlier! I am indeed a "religion obsessive" and a "philosophical type". I can't go a day without reading something or another on the subjects. I'm particularly obsessed with mythology - both the stories themselves, as well as the more "esoteric" side. I think it was Joseph Campbell's (1949) The Hero With a Thousand Faces that first made me realise that there's a lot more to mythology than awesome stories. Has anybody else here read that, or anything else by Campbell? (Apologies if it's already been covered - I was only able to skim my way through some of the pages of this thread!)

For anyone that isn't familiar with it, Campbell's The Hero With a Thousand Faces is a landmark piece of comparative mythology that has gone on to massively influence fields as diverse as analytical psychology and, more famously, Hollywood. An essential starting point for anyone with an interest in mythology and/or religion (and, for that matter, screenwriting!):

[Uncleskinny]

The superb irony of her wanting people to believe in God any way they want as long as it's Christian is wonderful.

Shouldn't mock the afflicted. mind.
