Excellent post.....all religions are a little nutty, but Christianity was a natural extension to.... trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 02/11/2009 02:43:49 AM
......Judaism at the time (or advancement, depending on your point of view). The reason it took hold was because it promised salvation to the masses. What does Scientology do? Bring the fans of a crappy sci-fi author together?

Sorry, I love to bash religion, but Bliss is off the mark on this one.....

I don't think most people think the Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses are "mainstream". Tom - 02/11/2009 12:29:51 AM 475 Views
I agree. When I read that I thought "bullshit". Especially about the JW's. *NM* everynametaken - 02/11/2009 04:40:05 AM 176 Views
Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Daoism, Shintoism, Christianity, Islam, Mormonism, Scientologism. The Shrike - 02/11/2009 12:40:26 AM 497 Views
Yes, literalism and fundamentalism don't typically make a lot of sense. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/11/2009 01:34:48 AM 169 Views
I beg to differ. Scientology is more ridiculous than the other religions mentioned. Tom - 02/11/2009 01:58:44 AM 544 Views
To you, perhaps. To me it's a wonderful fantasy like the rest. No more or less believable. The Shrike - 02/11/2009 02:19:17 AM 479 Views
What sources do you have for that statement? Ghavrel - 02/11/2009 06:38:19 AM 450 Views
The point was about polytheism versus monotheism The Shrike - 02/11/2009 03:29:23 PM 423 Views
I take issue with your view of history Tom - 02/11/2009 04:25:24 PM 449 Views
The view of history is not monolithic. You are entitled to your views. The Shrike - 02/11/2009 04:36:45 PM 444 Views

Right. Unlike Christianity, which has harming your neighbor as one of its central precepts. Ghavrel - 02/11/2009 06:34:16 AM 455 Views

Your spelling is simply atrocious. Are you a non-native English speaker/writer? The Shrike - 02/11/2009 03:23:25 PM 449 Views
+1 to your question and add "abysmal grammar and style" *NM* Tom - 02/11/2009 04:28:08 PM 178 Views
Taking pot shots is easy. Arguing a point is the hard part. *NM* Angel Barchild - 03/11/2009 02:29:34 AM 186 Views
Yes, you have problems with doing that effectively, too. *NM* Tom - 03/11/2009 01:51:05 PM 168 Views

Define, supporting/promoting a war? The Shrike - 02/11/2009 04:12:46 PM 442 Views
Agreed, and even some 19th century wars had at least partial religious motivations. *NM* Legolas - 02/11/2009 05:38:22 PM 184 Views

You sound fiesty tonight! *NM* everynametaken - 02/11/2009 04:42:43 AM 173 Views
