Never read so much crap posts on a board in all of my internet life.

Wow Theproofhouse, you must be new to message boards, this thread is only a baby in the "crap posts" department. I have seen plenty of threads a lot worse than this (even started a few myself).

Wenchy, just having a rule ("The nice thing about being a pagan is that we only have one hard and fast rule pertaining to not doing harm to others") does not mean people will live by it. The Christians have a "Thou shall not kill" rule, it did not stop the crusades, and the Muslim religion has a similar rule which did not stop 9/11. The only way you can claim that your followers do no harm is if you have a policy of brainwashing your followers. And even then it won't stop the violence. Because even if your religion were to brainwash it's followers, that does not stop followers of a different religion from beating the shit out of your followers for worshipping trees in "the wrong way", it just makes your followers easier to kill.

It does seem that there is a lot of hostility here. I've always thought that religion is a way to control the population just like politics. While it's all about power and money, many people need the service in order to make sense of their own lives, get some direction and to not become a complete danger to society. I know a lot of very religious people that without the fear of going to hell would not hesitate to rape, steal or kill.

Is The Pope doing anything different then a typical US politician? Isn't he just trying to keep his folks in power? At least he's not killing anyone at the moment.

Hostility at this level always makes me nervous and it doesn't matter if it's the religious folks feeling towards us or our feelings towards them.

And NO, I don't believe in most of what the church states but I think if they didn't fill people with fear and a little hate then those people would destroy the world very quickly so it's needed.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't calling you hostile. He was agreeing with you, somewhat.

The rest of us are hostile.
