Re: Elimination: Religious Groups (& Atheism)

I am actually quite aware of the nature of Satanism tongue that is why I included it separately from "cults" at the start. I realise there are some, at first, parallels, with Buddhism, but really, beyond both being 'self'-centered religions as opposed to monotheistic ones, the similarities end there.

Satanists believe self-satisfaction via indulgence is the primary priority for one's own quality of life, as only then can you, as a secondary aim, satisfy others, and only then those who deserve it.

Buddhists believe we should pursue self-satisfaction for the sole reason that we can use our own peace of mind positively to help others, so altruism is the primary focus.

there was a timed attack against catholicism where 8 votes, were cast against it in 3 and a half hours.

I don't think it was a planned attack, people see one faltering and they want to kill it off, so it snowballs

atheism and satanism were killed because they are " the most damaging or destructive religion in terms of its principles, the way it treats its members or the way it treats non-believers etc. "

Atheism was killed because Eltara was pissed that so many undecideds ignorantly described themselves as atheists

Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Elimination: Religious Groups (& Atheism)

"Judaism is so much better than those 2 dead choices though big_smile In Judaism, G-d loves Muslims, and Catholics and all other monotheistic religions (that's almost 4 billion people...not bad coverage for a religion smile). I think he'd still be mad at the Hindus though. sad  In Catholocism, G-d doesn't love the Muslims...and he didn't love the Jews until the 1990s when Pope John Paul said Jews could go to heaven too tongue It's funny in a way that the drunk and raging G-d from the old testament is more tolerant than the peaceful and fluffy G-d in the new testament."

except in Catholicism God loves everyone regardless of their religion.... its funny how you know nothing of the religion and then you make up stupid shit about it.

"That *is* funny, cause it's what you've been doing"

hmmm, lets look at what i was saying

". either whatever agnostics believe is a fact, that people of all religions believe and thus religious people are agnostics and agnostics are religious, or what agnostics believe isnt a fact, but a belief and agnostics have their own religion."

i dont think thats really the same thing at all. im not saying anything about the religion, but saying logically it has to fall into one of the categories. and is way different then saying catholics are intolerant of huge groups of people.

i do, just havent checked in with my own opinions yet. in fact, i dont exactly have many vindications of my own (although i am capable of argueing both sides of anything)

and by the way, i was quoting the original post

Re: Elimination: Religious Groups (& Atheism)

i like taoism,

thou most of religion loses melts same in certain depths, like taoism says, where is good, there is evil, or another words, good and evil comes from sam thing, every person with open mind concluds from this that words dosent matter, name dosent matter, nothing has pluses and minuses etc

also i have talked with satanist and to be honest, everything seems to be satanism tongue

we love god, why? because its good for us tongue

we like see people do good things, why? because it makes us feel good


i have thought about religion and stuff like that much and everything seems to reduces to egoism, we do everything to our own good, but thats just one way to explain the same thing, like all religions and ideas are, just explaning same things differently mostly...

mostly i love the idea, that there is no right or wrong, there is no truth or visdom or smartenss just chosen relations from all possible relations to describe the world from our perspective

in other worlds, every thing is relative, even the sentence is relative, because if we choose a gertain system, there is no relativity

like we say its big, well its relative, it depends with what to compare, well if you compare it to something certain, then its not relative etc

that what i think reading about taosim, also have read a shorter book about buddhism teachings, i think it lack of deepness, or it lacked of showing the deeper percpective of religion, like inner peace etc, maybe it was just a bad book, i dunno

Generally i don't like people.

"except in Catholicism God loves everyone regardless of their religion.... its funny how you know nothing of the religion and then you make up stupid shit about it."



Really Avo...if God loves everyone then why was it the Catholic view that Jews couldn't go to heaven before the late 1900s? tongue Why did they have to be converted along with everyone else? Why did they need to believe in Jesus to have a hope of getting in? tongue That doesn't sound very tolerant and loving to me. smile The basic Catholic view for the past 2 millenia has been that if you've made a choice not to be Catholic, you're going to hell. They've recently modified their views with regards to the Jews.

Even Islam, which many people seem to regard as barbaric is more advanced and tolerant (with regards to the afterlife) than most of the various forms of Christianity.

Honestly...learn about your religions smile
