That might provide a slight reason as to why devout capitalists seem to align wholly with the reasoning of Christ, who would appear to be, on face value, their natural enemy in moral terms.

Don't really care to work them out myself. All that I know is that they are greedy fuskc looking to rationalise themselves in some stupid and ridiculous manner.

I swear (shockingly at times,!!

) ... BUT!!!!!!!
Enough already- ...........Sorry this is it .....
The Final Post.

Look at the Topic again. How Atheist Are You??
Oh you Wicked Jester. Please - - if you are an Atheist- you don't get into discussions about the whole GOD thing. NOT INTERESTED.!! Get it?

Time Schmime- Causality- Universe - Existence - Will,....... what a load of Pooee.
Atheism isn't held incrementally.

You ARE or You are NOT.
If you get into this senseless discussion with any sincerity YOU are NOT an ATHEIST.
YOU ARE AGNOSTIC.

The topic doesn't equate to "HOW RELIGIOUS ARE YOU?"
Look at the question again.

" Oh I sort of think maybe that there could be ...."

Relax - I didn't change your actual post (check back). I changed the quote in my post to reflect my personal view. I agreed with most of your post. I wasn't wearing my moderator hat. I was actually wearing my very casual faded baseball cap with paint smears on it in that post.

Don't be so touchy. We agree (I think). The conservative Religious Right in the US in particular are very superficial. I agree that they are Wholly superficial, even if they do claim to be wholier than thou. Tongue

- and I meant no disrespect to your destination either.

I am as Atheist as Atheist gets.

Religion in general, whether it be Christianity, Islam, Judaism or whatever, it is just one massive, primitive joke.

It's like Steam Engines being the primary mode of power in the 21st century, it is just not compatible or relevant anymore, and the younger generations are waking up to it. In another 3 or 4 generations, I would argue that the Religious will be a minority.

Religion was a tool used during the earliest civilizations to enforce authority, the will of the elitist and a caste system onto a populous that didn't know any better. Fat cats like the Pope and any King or Queen you can name got rich and powerful off of peoples hopes, passions and above all, their ignorance. Jerusalum was a symbol of power over other races and creeds that every faction wanted to control, and they used the will of God as a smoke screen to hide their bigotry and war mongering.

The same could be applied today, but albeit in a declining state. The Vatican is the picture perfect example of pomp and circumstance cloaked in spiritual self importance, and liberties, respect and dignity suffer as a result.

It must end, and it will end. It's only a matter of time, and humanity as a whole will be all the better for it.

Why does it not surpeise me that you would be for restricting personal liberties

Typical leftard

Do not post insults on my board. It is not appreciated or welcome. If you want to insult someone, go try out one of the many other boards on this forum that allow that kind of crap. If there is a next time, it will be removed.

Thanks.

Looks like I touched a nerve. The truth hurts, so don't blame me for that fact.

I don't tolerate baiting other members either. Just keep to the topic please and play nicely.
