It's no laughing matter

When isn't ignorance a bad thing?

I think small children should remain ignorant of quite a few things!

I don't disagree. But I also don't expect them to remain ignorant forever

of some things... i would hope they remain ignorant forever.


All religions try very hard to keep their followers ignorant of many many things forever.....

A friend who raised her kids in the church was dumbstruck when he grand kids came to visit. She bought them an ark with all the animals and they asked her what it was. They had never heard of Noah or an ark. We have gotten so far away from God and so into self, that truer words were never spoken, "Forgive them for they know not what they do".

I don't think young children should be taught about a massive act of genocide

Young kids learning about God drowning young children, puppies and kittens? Can you imagine how horrible their deaths were?

KIds would have nightmares for weeks

All?!?​

Even the cool ones?


If beliefs are like nipples and everyone has a set, all should be mocked for their beliefs regarding death?

​

they are all bad in my opinion...there are not cool ones.

you assume everyone believes.... so not everyone has nipples Religion is not just about death......

Religion isnt about death. It's about life.

Life when? What's the GUARANTEED reward of religion if not life after death?

I agree, it is sad that so many do not understand the jokes poking fun at religions.... they are missing out of some good laughs.

However, i do believe that all religions should be mocked and laughed at.

Perhaps. But fear of death is the marketing hook that gets 'em in the door.

It?s no laughing matter: Britain has become a nation of religious illiterates 'who are baffled by Biblical references in Monty Python film The Life of Brian' - TV & Radio - Media - The Independent

Why are you saying it like it's a bad thing?

When isn't ignorance a bad thing?

Busted! Tongue in cheek, Brother... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Forever is a long time, Kiddo... You sure you don't believe?

Most non-religious people I meet don't. At least they say they don't.

I can account only for myself... I don't fear death either.

What about dying? That's what scares the crap out of me.

 

[AVG-JOE]

Is it the dying, or the not knowing how or when?

why does it scare you?

 

[syrenn]

Is it the dying, or the not knowing how or when?

now that is a different question...

the dying part.... the how you die can be scary.

Death itself is not.

 

[AVG-JOE]

I suppose that the big fear comes back to what happens after death.

Cue the Religions...

With you there, Sister! I can think of a LOT of ways I don't want to die.

To a speedy process!

It's the process I mean. Will I face a debilitating process? Will I experience a lot of pain? Will I experience a loss of control?

Fast and painless and completely unexpected is the way to go.
