"What is the reason for it? There was nothing to accomplish from it"
You have nothing to support that contention. You are surely wrong. The world is fucking SCREAMING at you that we need to get past living with the values of primitive doctrines kept alive by church power mongers. But YOU see no road to betterment?
And that I should seek a better world you find feckless and even disgusting. {Perhaps your own agendas are opaque to you)?
Someone once said that the world would never be free until the last king was strangled by the entrails of the last priest. I think it was Erasmus, but who cares?
The point is that you think the open discussions of primitive religions (always with direct quotes, btw) has "nothing to accomplish from it"
"surely you jest. I am surely not a fanatic"
Isn't that what I ventured?
"I have nothing to do with the second world war, and certainly with the British Government...."
You miss the point. I was referring to your remark that: "I was simply taught not to disparage another persons beliefs"
I have learned that cruel, stupid, and ignorant beliefs OUGHT to be disparaged, Mr. Chamberlain. This has nothing to do with WW11, Mr. Chamberlain. You either stand up for something or you do not. I disparage Dahmler's beliefs and I disparage a lot of beliefs. You pretend you do and don't have any beliefs. Well...what about rape? Do you disparage THAT belief?? What about the religious belief of polygamy? You must disparage something at your age, huh? "WHAT" We walk in shit and it is all the same??
Religious values are just values. We have had a lot of wars to defend values. So how in the Hell do you tell this thread that "I was simply taught not to disparage another persons beliefs"??
Our kids are disparaging other beliefs right now in a hundred or so countries in the world, for Christ's sake. They may not always be right--but surely to Christ they are NOT all wrong??!!
"What is the reason for it? There was nothing to accomplish from it,"
I guess I could buy a new tie and really throw a f-ck into the world. HA! I accomplish more than you know!
Simple education, Lad, works wonders! Why would you resent and oppose obvious facts? That is another story! Hopefully you will understand it some day... |
