As H21 says, probably best not to.

I'm about as un-PC as you can get, but understand what religion means to religious people, be they Muslim, Christian, wackos, whatever.

I do have trouble respecting Jovos though, as they keep banging on my friggin door  >:(

Please dont get me wrong.  I enjoy any and all jokes of all persuasions (got to, sometimes, to stay sane) just don't think that some are for a public board such as this....  Taking the 'safe' line rather than the devil may care one, if you follow....   :y

Why can't we stand up for ourselves any more, for fear of offending people that hate us anyway? break the PC brigade doing thier non jobs at our expense. What happened to mining, shipbuilding, steelworks are here but not BRITISH anymore. Racism has turned full circle so we have to kiss thier ars*s but they can do as they please, but that's ok as long as we don't offend anyone. We as a nation have race & industry issues which need addressing.
    The BRITISH BULLDOG has turned into a Poodle. :(

Well in that case I was refraining on Sunday from posting, and will refrain now  ;D ;D............cos I've already upset enough folk already ::)......in any case I am an aetheist, reason being religion is the biggest con in the world today and the biggest cause of fighting around the world.

Agreed. All religion is for weak minded although often well educated respectable people who believe they will be happy when they die if they live by certain codes...wake up. When we die we stay that way, get over it & enjoy living while you're here. Religion causes trouble, always has.

 :y Good answer. I'm sure there must be ways of extracting the truth ..... but

My wife's Scottish cousin is trying to bring her 2 kids up with out any kind of faith, but her lad (about 10) is often being asked in a round about way who he supports ......

Thank you for sending me the link, it made very interesting, and in some of the replies quite disturbing reading.
As a great believer in free speech, I think you should post the link, but there will probably be some who take offence.

Maybe one of the mods could take a look first and then advise wether it should or should be posted.

Title: Re: religion
Post by: Jay w on 26 March 2008, 09:23:40
religoin is like politics, a subject that each of us has a view on in one way or another and yes religion, like politics has been the cause of a lot of trouble over the centuries.

I have done a lot of reading on religion, the different aspects, faiths, rules, some of the mainstream religeons have some fascinating quirks to them, others have some very sinister aspects.

I believe that we should all be allowed to follow whatever faith we choose, and even to pick and choose aspects of others faiths that we want to follow/practice. i dont agree that because you follow a faith you have the right to shove it down someone elses throat though (jahovas especially).

Just to chuck something into the convo that may be controversial.
Religion is as destructive as it is calming, some people find religion as a way of keeping them sane and focused.
Title: Re: religion
Post by: cem_devecioglu on 26 March 2008, 09:31:35
For me every kind of religion is ok
IF  they are only between the person and the god..

And not interfering with politics and not keeping people under pressure..

and not disturbing me ;D

Yes, there is an unfairness in the UK, that needs looking at. Not just race or religion, but gender, sexuality.

Certainly the company I used to work for, if you were a white, straight bloke, your were knackered, as ethnic female lesbians were all the rage...

Can't disagree with that - it does appear to be the cause of most conflicts...   ...though whether the cause, or simply and excuse, I'm undecided.

Then you should preach back to them and talk over them about the weaknesses of BMW diesels and the differences in GM V6 dispacks....whilst brandishing sammy and grinning like Jack Nicholson...

Sure that would make them run for the hills.... :D

Get them done for harassment then.  ;) It must work both ways, surely.

My religious beliefs centre around having a lie-in with a raging hangover on the sabbath, so JWs at the door are likely to cause offence, and, as we have established, causing offence is about the most heinous crime possible these days, or so it seems. >:(

Last time they troubled me was about 4 years ago .... I politely said I would buy all their literature if they would "each fill in one of these forms and promise to carry it at all times" ... they have never returned and I've watched them bypass the house when they do their mass walks around the estate.

Oh .. the form ??  It was nothing more complicated than the standard "Organ Donor" card ... :)
