Jerry Falwell - R.I.P.

[Kiva]

[quote RgrF]kj this sort of dialog can go on forever unless you define the baseline. I think Mr. Carlin did it well with this:

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man…living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

Either you acept that invisible man or you question the whole precept. I question the whole precept.
.
If that is all you know of spirituality, of course you would have that view. The Anthropomorphism of god drives me nuts. It saddens me that it is the most popular view and that people make $ off of others' needs to have the daddy they never had.

Spirituality is so much more than that...too bad..
