I had Buddists come around to my place the other day, that was a novelty!
Least after taking one look at my scruffy, hungover ass that had staggered to the door with some old Psy-trance thumping in the background, they decided not to push the idea. Unlike the mormons who decided long ago to chicken out after threatening to set my cat on them. |

Well, Astroboy, I'll let you know that I see your point...sometimes I forget that a comedic tone is sometimes lost when transfering it into print.
I do agree with just about any religion in that they are almost always based on teachings of respect, goodwill, common coutesy, friendliness, love for all people, etc. Their books are usually filled with a lifetimes worth of lessons and wisdom that many people could do with learning. It seems a cruel irony that those religions are sometimes twisted and used to manipulate those who support them.
I hope I didn't offend you too much, as too much of anything is bad. |

The problem is that the ideology has been reduced to text. In that form it has a life of its own. So just like Communism or anything else, those who seek power will seek to gain control over the text.

Not at all... I don't really subscribe to any religious dogma. I just mistook your post for something it wasn't. |

Seriously, I'm totally faithless. I don't believe in god, a god, allah, buddah, elephants or anything like that. Jesus didn't exist, god doesn't exist etc.
I get my inspiration from people, regardless of their faith, who do things that matter for my beliefs in this world. I also think that by having no faith, it allows me to understand others better, therefore I can see WHY some people follow islam, some of the basic fundamentals are sound, but it's the way they're interpreted that stops me from actually wanting to follow it. Same with Christianity, I grew up with different christians fighting against each other, trying to blow everyone up and it put me off wanting to believe in either of their causes. |
