You don't have to try to make sense of it, brother. It takes a whole lot more than some random person, who I will literally never meet in my life, having a different opinion than me on the internet to rustle my jimmies.

I would add something here, but would be preaching to the choir!
Religion, I know enough to make Christopher Hitchens laugh. Yes, faith, and religion is NOT the same. Just as superstiions and supernatural is NOT the same..
Any belief that resides in your heart should be personal, and NOT herd mentality, systematic bullshit to habor malice or suppressed guilt in any form.
Faith in anything should make one stronger, provide comfort, open minds, and give clarity to logic. To know the difference between apathy, empathy and sympathy. Never to judge, but know good people from human pollution, not based on belief.....if a GOOD person. What's makes a good person? Being credible, accountable and responsible is a good start.
My good freind/doctor's older cousin ( age 85) had a close bloody shave during this attack while eating lunch with his wife but unharmed where they were seated. This man was the ex VP of DOW, quit to teach Jungian Pyschology in Switerland. I think this will confirm his connection with synchronicity.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronicity..
I believe in Lex Talons tenfold! An eye for an eye won't leave the whole world blind, if that world can't see.
I'll save RELIGION to be open discussion on my thread. Feel free to go nuts there, promise to give MUCH food for thought there when able.
Cock out with your rock out..and all that whatever.
Love,

I hope and pray I'm wrong, but I don't think it's going to be too long until something like what happened in Paris hits our shores. I hope France kicks some hadji ass, and hammers them so hard the terrorist's grandchildren's grandchildren will think twice before fucking with someone...
Israel started and controlled every world war..by whatever means. The control the media, and the masses. They even predict what people choose. They did the impossible and got France involved. No more "Freedom Fries", ..
I see ALOT of long beards on YOUNG arab males here locally. The cleveland and national administration and news keeps beating the war drum between blacks and police. Dismissing ALL black on black crimes including KILING CHILDREN without a single protest from black people. It reminds me of the silence of Arabs after 911. The wanted a Mosque there instead. I see a shitstorm coming and all we can do is prepare ourselves and families as best we can.
Privacy is a thing of the past. All that hippa bullshit we signed is like reading a Google contract before agreeing. But we all signed it like kids in Willy Wonka..privacy laws my ass!
There will be police states , especially in cities like mine. It's absolute. Is that a bad thing. I can't see that being a bad thing in Cleveland to be honest. If there's boots on the ground in my city, I'll offer them coffee.. and ..donuts."Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

Originally posted by DRM View PostReligion and faith are two completely different things.
One is a set of practices, the other is a system of beliefs. More of a guideline for morals than anything else.
Some of the most morally bankrupt people I have ever met in my life claim to follow some denomination, and two of the seven that I blindly trust with my life are atheists. Making a blanket statement about religion and those who follow them is just as foolish as me trying to prove to you that there is a Creator.
Being a Christian is more than reading the Bible. It's about following the teachings of Jesus Christ and using his lessons to help guide you in how you live your life. Many of the core values of Christianity are absent in today's society, and unfortunately, the majority of our youth today are too focused on their hedonistic needs to take a second to do anything of value for their community. We've slowly broken away from being a country that focused on hard work and a sense of community and have instead become a bunch of narcissistic crybabies who scream for equality but look down on anyone who doesn't share THEIR idea of equality.
I am FAR from what you might picture being a model Christian. I volunteer my spare time at an animal rescue, donate food and old clothes to one of our local homeless shelters, and within the same week, I sometimes have to go somewhere and do bad things to bad people. I don't ask for justification for any of this, but I try to help out those who need it and bring justice to those who deserve it the most. And I know that when the time comes, I'll answer for everything that I've done in my life.
I guess the point I'm trying to make is: don't be so ignorant as to make blanket assumptions about people of faith like we're all mindless zealots. But I, like many of the Christians I associate with, try to make the world a better place and help others. The belief of an afterlife is comforting for many, and when you're about to make a breach with a 100% chance of someone going to die within the next 6 seconds, it's also comforting to know that there's someone looking out for you and your Team mates.
Religion can be a wonderful thing, but like anything else in this world, is often abused and the message is perverted.
If you read what I posted which I assume you did, I in no way paint all people of faith as mindless. The MAJORITY are not, that is of any faith. The average Muslim isn't a terrorist. The so called leaders though have a large pool of undereducated and downright impoverished people to take advantage of and why that is such a scary thing. Christianity in this day and age (not always the case in the past) is popular in much more affluent countries and has a much much much smaller pool of scary mindless followers to roust. That being said it exists to scary level even with Christianity just watch Jesus Camp. Note that doesn't represent Christianity in a general way but it does absolutely show the power of religion.
I avidly study religion and I consider myself a very spiritual person. My beliefs aren't really on chart with anything traditional though. I grew up very Christian, required to study the bible for a minimum of two hours a day and I was timed.
I also must say this that Aethism itself has become a religion. Not all atheists but the reverend Richard Dawkins surely has a cult following. It is kind of ironic. I also think the Dawkins/hitchens/Harris thing is really adopted strongly by people who are fresh out of religion and are full of piss and vinegar. Harris might wrongly be lumped with them because he is quite spiritual. His latest book is an excellent read "Waking Up, a guide to spirituality without religion". I will also say though he is still a bit aloof.
Blah blah blah this is honestly my favorite subject and one day I'll gather all my moleskins together on the subject and attempt to edit it and put it out there.
My point being though I don't paint people of faith with a broadstroke by any means. I can't just look past religions track record. Not faith but organized religion.I keep the bible in a pool of blood
So that none of its lies can affect me

there is probably no better template on how to treat others than jesus christ, i get it. but that book as a whole is a disaster. it stunts our evolution.
look, ive had 3 friends i grew up with confide in me about being sexually assaulted by priests in our town, so i dont care if its christian, catholic, mormon,
baptist, 7th day adventists, the lot of them, i fuckin' hate religion. it's territorial, it divides everyone, it prevents any chance of unity whatsoever.
DRM, im not blanketing people, im blanketing religion, it does more bad than good, it always has. just my unhumble opinion.not looking to fight with anyone here either, i just love bashing religion, i cant help myself. i really harbor that much contempt for it.
Ughhhhh I know too many people I grew up with that we're molested.I keep the bible in a pool of blood

I peed in the holy water basins of St Rocco. There was a laughing boy getting whacked by nuns during service..they smelled like pee.

Did you guys know that currently the Pope has said that there is at least a 2% pedophile problem with priests in his wicked establishment? And that's just an estimate of what they know. There's plenty that they don't know about yet. So with over 400k priests that cones to at least over 8k fuckin boy raping motherfucking bastards. String them up by their thumbs.Not helping the situation since 1965!

I must say Tinder and Facebook have been very very good to the old man here. I'm a happy cat!!!
Tommy..get your ass in my house, if you want the pope on a rope!
Didn't you see what I did to Pope Francis' doves a couple years ago? That was for you!
The Omen is fiction. I'm real and want you. Like at Black Crowe beach. When you put gallons of Sunblock on my bald noggin..at night. So it won't peel like a snake. Because we're batty Tommy, like these..myotis lucifugus.

Ridicule religion all you want my but I'm not out there killing innocent in the name of my God. I'm a peaceful man but well armed and waiting for my convert or die ultimatum
Lets not confuse a cult with religion and radicalized Islam is a CULT. Hell even worshiping a pedophile false prophet is insane
Religion or lack of it isn't the problem...I know atheists who are 1000x better than hell of a lot of Christians or Muslims or Religion of Whatev's...be good to others and they'll be good to you...if others try to kill you, you kill them first
...and Religion as its being used today is just a legal loophole to bypass Geo-political laws....i.e. not pay taxes use the constitution against itself etcLast edited by Shawn Lutz; 11-22-2015, 10:13 AM.shawnlutz.com
