It seems to me, that human beings are just smart enough to ask the questions "why?" "where?" "how?" "what?" and "when?" It's in our nature, and we want answers.

The majority of the population has such an incessant need to find an answer that they will accept the first one given, just to satisfy this compulsion. I have no problem with this, as long as it quiets a frustrated mind. However, it rarely stops there. It becomes organized ideology and preached as the only truth, regardless of what other imaginary answers might be out there. In fact, a belief like this, that so defines a person and their life, becomes so powerful that they reject even scientific and impirical evidence that may contradict their "truth".

Those of us who have accepted the fact that we don't know the answers to these questions and probably never will, are now labled "atheists" and scorned as if we were devil worshippers. To that I say, How dare you? You believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want.....No need to throw stones.

That's a big stone you're throwing......

Friday night, I'm having a few beers with the Misses and rented Life of Pie on Blueray so I'll pick this up tomorrow.

By the way, I'm thrilled to see some new "faces" posting. Tony D and now Face. Welcome.

I know.....The stone thing was meant to be a little tongue in cheek. I've been accused of having a somewhat "dry" sense of humor. It doesn't translate well in writing.....And probably isn't that funny anyway.

Thank you for the welcome. I've been on here for a while, but usually steer clear of the political discussions. Religion on the other hand.....well, let's just say it gets my goat. If there's somebody talkin' 'bout it, you can guaran-dam-ty I'm gonna have a comment.

One of our hyper religious friends didn't come around for several weeks. He made the mistake of being preachy around me... He's Pentecostal, I went to a Jesuit high school... Probably had more religious training than he did.

I don't think he liked my telling him "Shove your invisible magic Jew and his imaginary son right up your..." Roll Eyes

Have also told him that mooching beer and cigarettes isn't exactly in keeping with the tenets of his wife's church... I think he got madder about that actually.

I don't give half a s*** what somebody wants to believe in the way of religion, as long as they keep it to them, and not go blabbing about it to me. Getting me to give a full 2 s***s about it? Not happening...

I know exactly what you're saying. Don't know if you guys have heard, but we have a pretty staunch religious majority here in good ol' Utah. "You know, The Mormons." And what gets me is when they start their preachin' and I realize that I know more about their religion than they do! What a bunch of.............

Pretty close to the book, which was difficult to read to begin with. Strong religious themes so it fits into this post well. I recommend watching it if your looking for a movie to watch.

WM …That stupid "Tolerate" bumper sticker actually says “Coexist”. Now if that word is “stupid” to you, you know nothing of Jesus’s teachings ergo you are not a Christian in any sense of the word.

You could sell a ton of those. Fact is, if you remove that Crescent Moon from all those "Coexist" bumpers tickers, there really isn't much of a reason to have a bumper sticker to begin with. Not a lot of Jews, Christians, or Peagans setting off backpack bombs at marathons...
