I read the bible a good 30 years ago. I was just an infant and as such, took it on myself to indulge into a frenzy reading and ended up with the seed of doubt embeded in my brain. I guess my parents started to regret that I read the thing in the fir…
I read the bible cover to cover one summer because I'm a masochist -- actually it was to improve my faith by familiarizing myself with the word of god -- obviously it had the opposite effect.
I've also read over the Koran, the Hadith, the Book of M…
If it's overtly Christian, it invariably repels me. But I say the same for any preachy (religions or otherwise) or overtly politicized songs. But subtle (political or spiritual) references don't bother me; it often heightens the poetry and ambience…
I have a very low tolerance for it and would never buy music with religious themes.
I enjoy country-western music but so many artists sing about God and going to church and how great Jesus is, blah-blah-blah. I can tolerate a little of it but too much is just too much.
How very odd. I just caught myself singing 'Oh Come All Ye Faithful', complete with the fiddly bits in the last verse, in a somewhat startlingly high falsetto, while making the coffee in the kitchen.
A little flash back to the 12 year old me. Very…
Well, actually, in the old testament stories, he isn't an all powerful god, in fact, he is only one god among many, in the earliest strands of the texts. Obviously, these are stories, folklore and myths, and should be treated as such, just exactly a…

- About Me
- "Alas," said the mouse, "the world is growing smaller every day. At the beginning it was so big that I was afraid, I kept running and running, and I was glad when at last I saw walls far away to the right and left, but these long walls have narrowed so quickly that I am in the last chamber already, and there in the corner stands the trap that I must run into." "You only need to change your direction," said the cat, and ate it up.

- Thanks for accepting my request. I have to admit that the big red cat pic got my attention initially... "it's a balloooooon intestine" (in case you are familiar with the UCB skit).
Hope to join you on some forums soon.

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Here is the original parable as devised by Denis Diderot:
“Wandering in a vast forest at night, I have only a faint light to guide me. A stranger appears and says to me: "My friend, you should blow out your candle in order to find your way more clearly." This stranger is a theologian.” Addition to Philosophical Thoughts (c. 1762) Denis Diderot 1713-1784

- A traveller lost in a dark wood has only a candle for illumination. He meets a theologian who says "Blow out your candle and let me guide you". I think this little parable was from Denis Diderot'.

You're welcome. I hope you continue to post, as you bring up good points.
My boyfriend was excommunicated from the church. XD Received an official letter and everything. He asked too many questions. And when they were talking about baptism or something (I don't know Catholicism), he asked why bother since he was going to…
I most certainly agree that the burqa should not be allowed for a government employee to wear.
I can't agree that feminism is so rigid as to only allow white well-educated women to define it, though.
People who are excommunicated never should have communicated in the first place and they are better off outside of the catholic cult.
I don't see how she could when she gets older and realizes her rapist wasn't punished by them, but the doctor who helped her was. That's going to create dissonance.
I don't think what you said was racist. The person you mentioned was racist, it's condescending to have a double standard toward reverse racists. Some groups (I'm thinking of religions more than races) want to overbreed in hope of dominating by shee…
Indeed. Speaking up over the large and the small illustrate how pervasive discrimination is. I would raise hell over any type of discrimination based on my lack of religion.
In recent years in Quebec we've gone through a 'new' tolerance phase (as opposed to our old "intolerance" stance on language and French culture). It got dubbed:
Les "accommodements raisonnables" or les "accommodements religieux"
This was a politica…
