Anger Over Mohammed Cartoon - Page 17

this thread is rife with tangents.

Yaweh is a big smiter. he'll smite the everliving shit outta ya.

to me, that's why religions are bunk. it's so obvious that they are written by man to control man. I think a true religion is purely personal. no two people are the same, so no two religions should be the same.

My take: being spiritual? Good. Being religious? Bad. You don't have to be religious to be spiritual, don't have to be spiritual to be religious.

You're right about the control part. Religions are like the military -- some people need structure, need to be told what to do. I'll stay away from both.

If any two people agree on religion, at least one of them is wrong?

Exactly. If any two religions were the same, they would be one religion.

But your point is well taken. As one who was raised Catholic, I was fortunate to have learned from military priests who, on average, were much less dogmatic and much more practical than some of their old-world brethren. I don't think any religion can mean the exact same thing to two different people. Some religions and religious leaders can handle that and some can't.

Just ask the Shia and Sunnis. Yeph. Same religion.

But, that doesn't matter here.

It's a shame our prophet didn't command people to respect the English language.

Man, back to school in September seems a long way off.

Probably, Muslima learned English by texting. I believe the official language of Kuwait is Arabic. She has obviously an insular view of the world and doesn't comprehend what's really going on, rather than a troll like Duck Duck.

That is true.

My first thought was the cultural differences. We make fun of every religion in the western world and a cultural difference can easily make something like that to be hostile especially with all the problems in the past few years.

Islam is a very misunderstood religion as well. The similiarities between it and Christianity (they worship the same god) are very apparent.
