Zone1 Why do you believe what you do?

[Feeding Crows]

I'm not making anything up... This is history!!!

 

[Feeding Crows]

If you want want to walk away and deny it... that's you're problem.

 

[Blues Man]

If you want want to walk away and deny it... that's you're problem.

The point is that you can walk away from religion or choose another religion different than your parents' religion without having to fear for your safety.

If you don't want to what the fuck are you whining about?

 

[Feeding Crows]

Christians killed and destroyed and raped and pillaged all the lands. And raped the women, and made the children believe or die.

 

[Feeding Crows]

Are you going to deny that?

 

[Blues Man]

Are you going to deny that?

What religion hasn't committed atrocities?

I don;t subscribe to any religions

So it's ok? Jesus loves that?

 

[Feeding Crows]

You answered well.

 

[Blues Man]

So it's ok? Jesus loves that?

Didn't sat that did I?

 

[Feeding Crows]

i have no idea what you just said, but yeah, we're cool!!!

 

[BULLDOG]

That is not true today.

You can walk away from religion if you choose to with no repercussions

Bullshit. Lots of young people kicked out of their home,simply because they don't believe as their parents do.

You do know that your parents can kick you out when you're 18 right?

 

[BULLDOG]

You do know that your parents can kick you out when you're 18 right?

Yes, and a difference in religious beliefs is a commom reason for that.

 

[Blues Man]

Yes, and a difference in religious beliefs is a commom reason for that.

So what?

At 18 you are an adult and you should be out of Mommy's house

 

[Feeding Crows]

It means that you were born that way. You never had a choice.

True. I never had a choice about going to school. I had to learn math, English, certain histories, certain sciences. I even had to live in a house instead of a tepee or a cave. Had to stay awake during the day and sleep at night. What was with that? For some reason I had to eat a lot of vegetables and every few sweets. I was taught baths and brushing teeth were a necessity. And what was with that rule about playing nicely with my brothers and sisters and the neighbors, not to mention all their pets?

 

[Meriweather]

So what if you were borne into a different religion? Would you still think what you think? What if you were born a Jew? Would you be a jew? Or would you still be whatever you are?

If, for example, I were born in Asia instead of Ireland, would I prefer rice to potatoes? What is objectionable about rice? What is objectionable about potatoes? What is objectionable about Judaism? What is objectionable about Christianity? About Hinduism? Buddhism? Islam? Taoism?

Is it a problem if someone eats more Bok Choy than broccoli? Should we worry some children are more exposed to broccoli than bok choy? Beets as opposed to tomatoes? Astronomy over marine biology?

 

[Meriweather]

So my way of thinking is that you are born stupid...

More accurately, we are born ignorant and we absorb that which is around us and that to which we are exposed. For example, I was more exposed to books and literature than I was to sketching and painting.

 

[Meriweather]

Religion is something that has been forced upon us.

What hasn't been?

Is religion based on how you are born, or is it something more?

So my way of thinking is that you are born stupid...

No YOU were born stupid because you still exhibit that trait. I, like everyone else was born ignorant of the ways of the world.

Ignorance can be cured, as is demonstrated everyday as people actively engage in the pursuit of knowledge. Your kind of stupidity apparently is forever.
