Right. Unlike Christianity, which has harming your neighbor as one of its central precepts. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 02/11/2009 06:34:16 AM
Virtually every religion preaches nonviolence. There have been plenty of wars involving Buddhists.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

I don't think most people think the Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses are "mainstream". Tom - 02/11/2009 12:29:51 AM 455 Views
I agree. When I read that I thought "bullshit". Especially about the JW's. *NM* everynametaken - 02/11/2009 04:40:05 AM 170 Views
Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Daoism, Shintoism, Christianity, Islam, Mormonism, Scientologism. The Shrike - 02/11/2009 12:40:26 AM 483 Views
Yes, literalism and fundamentalism don't typically make a lot of sense. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/11/2009 01:34:48 AM 162 Views
I beg to differ. Scientology is more ridiculous than the other religions mentioned. Tom - 02/11/2009 01:58:44 AM 520 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 461 Views
What sources do you have for that statement? Ghavrel - 02/11/2009 06:38:19 AM 436 Views
The point was about polytheism versus monotheism The Shrike - 02/11/2009 03:29:23 PM 403 Views
I take issue with your view of history Tom - 02/11/2009 04:25:24 PM 421 Views
The view of history is not monolithic. You are entitled to your views. The Shrike - 02/11/2009 04:36:45 PM 425 Views
Excellent post.....all religions are a little nutty, but Christianity was a natural extension to.... trzaska2000 - 02/11/2009 02:43:49 AM 419 Views

Your spelling is simply atrocious. Are you a non-native English speaker/writer? The Shrike - 02/11/2009 03:23:25 PM 432 Views
+1 to your question and add "abysmal grammar and style" *NM* Tom - 02/11/2009 04:28:08 PM 172 Views
Taking pot shots is easy. Arguing a point is the hard part. *NM* Angel Barchild - 03/11/2009 02:29:34 AM 178 Views
Yes, you have problems with doing that effectively, too. *NM* Tom - 03/11/2009 01:51:05 PM 161 Views

Define, supporting/promoting a war? The Shrike - 02/11/2009 04:12:46 PM 424 Views
Agreed, and even some 19th century wars had at least partial religious motivations. *NM* Legolas - 02/11/2009 05:38:22 PM 176 Views
