Bible Banned as a Dirty Book in Utah

Agreed you are pretty thin, if not shallow.

Of course you do. You're a racist and antisemite.

Sorry, Fredo, but no matter how cold, distant and racist your daddy was, I'm still an American sworn to defend our Constitution.

BTW pretender,...Actual Christians dont swear to or take oaths to anything. A simple yes or no is all that is needed,...anything else is from evil.


Matthew 5:33-5:36 is reiterated in James 5:12:

"But above all things, my brethren, swear not,
neither by heaven,
neither by the earth,
neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay;
lest ye fall into condemnation."

You can't project your experience as a kid being dragged to some fundy fire-and-brimstone church onto the experiences of religious people around the world

I was fortunately never exposed to the fire and brimstone circuit.
As a child, I attended Catholic services which were then in Latin.
The huge pipe organ and choir were both pretty good--I'll give them that.
I liked the smell of the incense, too, and the light coming through the stained glass windows.

The sit-stand-kneel bullshit got on my nerves, however, so usually, I just sat, even as a little kid.
My parents pretended that they didn't notice.

By the time I studied Latin, of course, I was fourteen and had stopped going to church.
I still don't know what the fuck Father Angelo was saying half the time.
He was a pretty good guy, though. Loved the Red Sox. Loved to eat. too.
Hardly a televangelist type.

parts of it are a cult of conformity, like mask, jab, distance... etc.

I hate the fire and brimstone stuff.

I am always curious in trying to understand if there is a tangible distinction between those who genuinely believe all religion is harmful, contrasted to those who want one specific religion and one specific god to disappear, namely Christianity.

Should conservatives even have kids?
How do kids ever learn anything with prissy conservatives as parents?
They don't seem to want their kids to know anything.
It's a viscous cycle. Not knowing anything makes the kids conservative as well.

Among the dumbest things adults do is trying to keep kids from learning about the things they are supposedly kept from learning about, and at the top of that list is sex. It was always dumb for kids always found a way, but in the Internet age its futility should be clear even to a dingbat bible banner.

I don't think Chinese folk religions, Daoism, or Confucianism are neccesarily based on fear.

Ancestor worship seems to be the fundamental basis of the folk religions, and Daoism and Confucianism are concerned with right practice and moral improvement as an individual commitment to the pursuit of the way of Heaven, T'ien Tao.

taoism and confucianism are totally different.

i think we had this discussion before.

Of the three Semitic-sourced religions, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, they seem to get less offensive as they get older.

Islam makes theocracy mandatory.
Christianity pretends to "render unto Caesar," but really doesn't, especially in Middle America.
At least in these modern times, Judaism does the least proselytizing--virtually none, in fact--
and with its quaint tribalism, seems to cause the fewest problems.

Still, with no indications that religious faith is a requisite for moral conduct,
I find it hard to see where it has a positive role.

Moral conduct is quite the opposite of true Christianity!
Which the belief that we are dirty rotten sinners who can only be saved by the blood of the cross!
