[:D]I 100% TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT![:D] That's exactly why I spoke in defense of non-beleivers in my first two posts.

quote: ORIGINAL: Moonhead quote: ORIGINAL: LanceHughes Yeah, but just don't be behind a car that has that bumper sticker: "In case of rapture, this car will be driverless." The interesting thing about that one is the number of baptistsfundamentalist Christians who are keen to see the battle of Armageddon start, but are planning to fuck off upwards the second it begins. Isn't that draft dodging? No, that is planning ahead.

quote: ORIGINAL: AsmodaisSin Intolerance breeds injustice and injustice breeds more intolerance. That's why the Salem Witch Trials and other such occurrences took place. I'm not disagreeing with the idea that a certain amount of tolerance is beneficial to our society but I thought the Salem Witch Trials occurred because people thought spectral evidence was valid.

Its legal, its free and you would be able to perform legal wedding ceremonies. I thought that was kind of cool.......BTW- Want to see something even funnier........[:D] http://www.christianatheism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_atheism http://www.atheists-for-jesus.com/ Who would have thought we would ever see those two terms together, huh?

That's not a new idea, I suspect that Thomas Jefferson was a Christian Atheist. I have always suspected the same thing. (but referred to him as a Christian-humanist). I have a copy of the Jefferson Bible on my shelf. I like his because he leaves out all of the supernatural aspects of Jesus and sticks to his moral teachings. His Bible is similar in that manner to Leo Tolstoy's Gospel in Brief. They are both very good books for those who want the core teachings of Jesus minus the miracles.

quote: ORIGINAL: MisterNatural Have you ever noticed that people who classify themselves as "Believers" have never read the Upanishads, the tao te ching, the Koran, the Book of Mormon, a scholarly translation of the Hebrew Bible (as opposed to the version translated, with editing, by King James' propagandist lackeys), a scholarly translation lf the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and other religions' writings? Actually, I have met theists that are well versed not only in their own religion but in others as well.

I knew the philosophers Hegel and Nietzsche redid the gospels this way. Identifying Jesus as a great philosopher ... like Socrates ... not anything else ... I had no idea, Jefferson did it too! Thanks for sharing this!

Oh yes, that's right I recall now Marini. I was meditating with my focus on the lotus petal pond & its calming waters. Imagine that. Just another one of those open minded Spiritually focused believers. [;)] [winks at Marini]
