Even if Christianity has only the fanatics left in a near future, it'll die for the simple fact those fanatics will basically put themselves aside from society and diminish heavily their chances of propagation. I mean, only a fanatic of a dying religion would bang another fanatic of a dying religion and there's no guarantee that, even if the children are heavily indoctrinated, they'll stick to a corpse of a faith.

Re: Jesus, not the first
Most people see religion as a bad thing.. some so called religions can be boiled down to a way of life in so many words. various tenets of society outline a way of living.. from personal reflection. peace admiring beauty, taking on certain eating patterns and health"rituals"...
Philosophy or certain "paths of thought" get popular because many see the outcomes of certain rituals as beneficial. meditation or self reflection is good for all human beings.. does this give way to morality.. some feel energized by refraining from eating.. this "fasting" some view as a religious thing.. others see the benefits of allowing the digestive track time to rest , allowing the body more time to rid itself of toxins. Meditation.. or "Prayer" as some would call reflecting on ones self.. analyzing places in which they would like to see their lives improved.. surely there can be no negatives to that Have some of these philosophical, moral, and self beneficial rituals gone overboard in their different guises... sure.. but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater... human beings should be fully capable of weeding out the good intentions or inherent good .. from all the bullshit that's layered on top of it. If not television, books , and other forms of propaganda might have more of an influence than I thought

Re: Jesus, not the first
If you get rid of all the stupid shit, then it's not going to be called a religion. Definitely not a theistic religion.
Besides, shit like morality aren't exclusive to religion anyway. 'Getting rid' of one doesn't imply getting rid of the other, at all. |

A) your first sentence is wrong. Most people in this forum think it is bad, but most people in the world agree, follow and worship religion. That's one of the major problems. B) Baby with the bathwater? Why not? Because major religions have a history of adopting, absorbing and altering existing beliefs and traditions. Such as Christmas, Easter, the returning saviour (HEY! I'm back on topic) myth, the one god of the jewish slaves in Egypt, etc etc. These things existed before religion, along with morality, philosophy, meditation and fasting. You don't need a god or an organization to enjoy or practice any of this crap. Religion arose as a political, military and social control in the dark ages to organize, control and direct nations and peoples to one groups will. They are not chosen by governments or people and hold vast financial stores and like to condemn anyone who doesn't follow their lead. That's a large potential for a lot of evil, like telling people in Africa that condoms spread AIDS, leading to a worsening of the existing epidemic. See, morality does not necessarily stem from religion at all. I'd never do that... I"m more moral than the pope and I'm not the one who is "infallible."

For example, many atheists appreciate the beauty of religious art, like going to Notre Dame in Paris or listen to a requiem, because there's no physical difference between theists and atheists to make the first to perceive beauty and the latter not. Diets are much more connected to culture rather than religion, being Mediterranean Europe a prime example: you have the same olive & wine basis and the same predominant religion (Catholicism), but you can clearly distinguish French cuisine from the Greek, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish ones. The only thing religion modifies in the diet is forbidding certain foods... pretty much like hypertension and diabetes. I think I'm reaching some epiphany here... Lastly, health "rituals"? Pardon my ignorance, but what rituals are those? I mean, I know some exist in the Bible, like killing doves to spray the house with blood to prevent leprosy and washing your naughty parts in the nearest river after having a wet dream, but I'll be damned to see any modern Christian doing those rituals.

Also, fasting does absolutely nothing about toxin excretion. On the contrary, it only makes things worse, because the kidneys (the main excretory organs) don't filter the blood with only water, it needs sodium, potassium, ammonium, ATP, NADH, among others, and drinking water does not suffice the amounts of those ions/molecules, so fasting too long will most probably damage your kidneys rather than helping them excrete toxins. And before you even think about it, yes, even "bad" cholesterol is worsened by fasting, because the body produces cholesterol by itself and the regulation of such production depends on the amount of cholesterol in the blood, so low amounts of cholesterol in the blood will promote the production of LDL (the "bad" cholesterol) over HDL (the "good cholesterol"), whereas with normal amounts of cholesterol in the blood HDL's production is the one being promoted. So, tl;dr version: you are screwed by eating unhealthy fats and by not eating any fats at all. Quote:

Second, "might have"? It's not a subjective matter we're handling, it's pretty much factual: humanity and its accomplishments shape our morality and behavior since we're social beings. It's by interacting with others that we learn such things, be it with our family, study or a dusty millenarian tome. The thing about religion is that as humanity evolves, so does its general behavior and certain aspects of morality and clinging to a clearly outdated set of values only originates trouble. |

In Christianity's old testament there are warnings against "un-clean people" looking back at the times and the medicine of that time one would find good reason to stay away from a penis or vagina with an excessive flow.. wouldn't want to catch what they have now would you.. but somehow this "word of wisdom got incorporated into doctrine.. don't we in today's society heed the same warnings for our benefit!

Of course, whoosh. You example is stupid. How about we talk about something other than getting rid of growing a manly beard rule (Probably one of the better parts about Islam, I would guess. Not sure why you'd want to get rid of that...)? Like their irrational belief in some magic sky man and everything involving him. Get rid of that. That's not Islam by some other name. It's not Islam. It's just a story about some asshole going around and raping his nine year old wife. Just like a roll isn't a sandwich. Get what I'm saying? Rhetorical question, of course you don't. Go play with some lego or something more your speed, retard. ITT: Chris-chan clone tries philosophy. |

Now taking the bullshit out of religion wouldn't make it less of a religion in fact it would make it pure Oh and on Islam they don't believe in a sky man .. they believe in either a being without definition such as the case of Sunni Muslims and on the other end of the spectrum a Man of flesh and bone In the Nation of Islam.. something that is also shared by the christian sect of Mormonism. Now are there bad people of Islamic and Christian faith.. sure.. but you can't paint all with such a broad brush.. that's like saying everyone on this forum is a Narutard just because one finds an example of a narutard on the forum and then assuming all on the forum are narutards! Mibs if you don't see that I responded to everything you said then maybe you're not as smart as you think you are.. just saying something doesn't make it true.. you of all people should know this by now

Re: Jesus, not the first
Um...yes they do. Allah is Arabic for "God". Allah is to Muslims as God is to Christians: an all-knowing, all-powerful being that created the universe and stands as judge to mankind. To the Muslims, his reality is mystery.

Seriously, give it up. You've clearly shown you have no idea what the hell you're talking about at any given time. I remember you claimed your dad was Muslim, obviously that's not the case because you don't know shit about your supposed patriarch's religion. This doesn't help your case, just as saying your dad was Muslim, but you mom was christian (Shariah law wouldn't allow that). |
