Anything that promotes a 'higher power' or something beyond our ken of understanding pulling the strings of our lives is fallacious to the nth degree.<br />Well done! I can feel a big blog coming on about this one, you have spurred me on, thanks..Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09195354568166653867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690959408880377091.post-77070877365007254212010-02-23T17:05:11.157-08:002010-02-23T17:05:11.157-08:00I think it must be rag on religion day!

I completely agree about there being intelligent folks who are heavily into religion and I am with you on not being able to understand it. My husband is one of those people. I think he only does it to fit in with his family who are born-again christian. <br /><br />I was at a Matthew Good concert recently and he totally blasted scientology for being completely based on stupidity. I could not stop laughing. It's not even like the guys' novels are any good either! I'd be more inclined to follow something out of Tolkein..I'm sure it would make for an interesting religion.Andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15504987187523310863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690959408880377091.post-75570303044740182262010-02-23T14:30:05.375-08:002010-02-23T14:30:05.375-08:00Religion is horrible when it's used to justify...Religion is horrible when it's used to justify bad things. I've been trying to get through the Bible for the last few years and there are some really terrible things in there, particularly the old testament. There are parts where genocide - including the brutal murder of children - are ordered by God. I don't see how any sane person could ever think that any half-decent God would ever sanction genocide. If there is a God, which I doubt, he/she/it sure as hell wouldn't decide that babies had to be murdered. I think that's why religions are formed, to get people to do things. Sometime way back when some Israelite wanted his people to kill every single human being in some town. This is morally reprehensible to 99.9999999% of human beings, so how does he convince them to do it? He tells them "God" commanded it. It can't be wrong if God says its OK, let's go murder some little kids now.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045294003088106262noreply@blogger.com
