Death is certain, life is not, so keep your head up and you might just stay alive long enough to enjoy what you've got in front of you. death is indeed a part of the cycle, probably the biggest part, but i still believe that deep down nature wants you dead. |

Hell is full of all the cool people who blasphemed. so when you think about it, if you lived to be 100, then every single person alive right now that is older than you will be dead. that means that Hell is chock full of every band you ever loved. its one giant concert where you never get tired. its also full of drugs and booze. Hell rules! |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 3,2009 12:50pm - arktouros ""] I work with a devout Christian from South America (7th day adventist? whatever it is). This morning he deleted an entire organizational unit of lab computers off of our management server by mistake. I know for a fact that he did and the logs show it. It's no huge deal, but he would NOT admit that he made the mistake. "Christian values" have no meaning when the individual has no values. This guy is quick to point out that he will not eat pork and will give you a good allegory from the bible, but he can be the the nicest most personable guy and the lowest scum imaginable at the same time. |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 3,2009 3:51pm - xgodzillax ""] Nun: You don't believe in God because of Alice in Wonderland? Loki: No, "Through the Looking Glass." That poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter," that's an indictment of organized religion. The walrus, with his girth and his good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha, or...or with his tusk, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your Eastern religions. Now the carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter's son, he represents the Western religions. Now in the poem, what do they do...what do they do? They...they dupe all these oysters into following them and then proceed to shuck and devour the helpless creatures en masse. I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says that following these faiths based on mythological figures ensure the destruction of one's inner being. Organized religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions...by inhibiting our decisions, out of...out of fear of some...some intangible parent figure who...who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says...and says, "Do it-do it and I'll fuckin' spank you!" Dogma |

We need to think about the future of our species rather than what's in store after we die. |

(thanks bathroom reader) Clarke also said "the greatest potential error of mankind is the hijacking of morality by religion" and that is fully relevant to this thread. i'm glad that atheism (which is not a theism, i hate this word) is on the rise in this country while religion on the whole is on a downturn. it's about time we caught up to other 1st world nations in that regard. |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 3,2009 6:46pm - ArilliusBM ""] Humans have the freedom to choose exactly what they want to believe in, you're 100% right on that. But humanity does not need an organized religion to have morals and values. From an historical standpoint, it is quite noticeable that Judeo-Christianity has molded modern society into what we are today. It is quite interesting reading the history behind religions, myths, and ancient belief systems, as they define cultural values of a society. Had the Roman Empire never adopted Christianity as their main belief system, it would have completely died out along with the other numerous other Middle-Eastern religions. Had the Roman Empire never adopted Christianity, some other religion or belief system would define our society today. I could rant on and on about my disposition towards any organized religion (I hold more respect for Eastern philosophies and religions, as well as pre-Christian pagan beliefs in Europe), but to me it is quite obvious the religion is the monkey on the back of society, so to say. It is a hindrance to the progress of the human species. It divides us, makes us fight each other, and will ultimately lead to our demise. We need to wake up as a species, stop squabbling over petty differences in beliefs, and work as one towards the betterment of humanity. But alas, this is not the case. We need to question what we want to do, not what we've done. There shouldn't be a fear of what happens when we die, or a fear of anything for that matter, other than ourselves. Embrace destruction, for it is our destiny. With it, new life will emerge and the process will repeat itself. |

The gods were not without faults, they too were mortal, but they possessed positive qualities that human beings could aspire for. Rather than worship, one could strive to be like Odin, who, through personal sacrifice and hardships, was able to obtain absolute wisdom (like giving up his eye at Mímir's Well and hanging himself from the world tree; while staring into the abyss, to learn the secrets of the runes). I'm not talking smack about the old nordic religions, but the whole valhalla things was abused and well as christianity was. It's very similar as dying for allah (with out blowing yourself up) but then bombs were rarely used by Europeans back then. WHo knows how far they would have gone. It was used to encourage the uneducated, even the relatively educated into going to war for a king and his wealth. No religion is perfect considering they are all lies quickly used by benefit the higher ups. |
