the religion of peace

[Ravello]

what about this ?

The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree

Now that you put it like that... I'm in

That's sheer madness, you've made that up, who'd believe carp like that.

I got taught caligraphy at school, and I wrote that up in Italics and framed it.

My brother is a vicar, so when he comes to stay, I take it down and hide it.
Except last time, I forgot

If there was at least 18 years age limit on religious studies (like alcohol, smokes etc) then this would have changed in a few generations. A lot of violence in the world would have resolved itself pretty quickly.

I suppose it's a bit hard when you've got the worlds education systems ramming it down their throats from age 4.

My local football club up in Scotland were running a kids get in free scheme to try and hook them at an early age. I wonder where they got that idea from?

Pub usually has people over 16-18.

The problem is that children get brainwashed with this religious nonsense from early days and as they grow up they "treasure" this as some link to parents and brainwash their own children in turn.

If atheists are wrong they would have lived their lifes

as opposed to... what makes you think Christians don't enjoy living their lives? It seems to me that Christians have hope and are happy whilst atheists are bitter, in general

Keep your religion to yourself.

I would not have the problem if religious people did not try to force their believes on others - to be fair right now Christianity is not what it used to be in this respect, so I am pretty cool about it, however I don't like their interefence in things like cloning, or condoms rubbish by Pope.
