"Your skin is darker/lighter than mine, my gods demand that you die."

Didn't answer my question about &qu...Thanks CR<br /><br />Didn't answer my question about "tricks" - but that's ok - maybe on your next post.<br /><br />Some interesting stuff on this post.<br /><br />As I said on my last post, I'm not really a religious person. I have read the King James Bible, though - cover to cover - and quite a while ago, too - not just since the nazis decided it was time to re-introduce the 1930's German "experiment" to the entire world.<br /><br />I've been reading a lot in the last few years, including history. Historians very often, when referring to civilizations, mention morality. When I find myself in deep thought about how we've allowed ourselves to get to where we are and how we can correct it (usually around the time the second bottle of wine is opened) I always end up at religion. Not Catholic or Protestant or Hindu or Sun-worship, just religion. The New Testament states (somewhere - couldn't be arsed to look it up) <b><i>"treat your neighbour as you would have him treat you"</i></b> is the most important of the teachings of Jesus. I believe in that - live and let live - and it appears you do, too.<br /><br />Unlike most intellectuals(?) and libertarian bloggers, I think every society needs a religion of some sort. The nazis have convinced (or coerced) most into accepting that science is that religion - pure and real and factual. Having done that, they have proceeded to pervert science just as surely as the Spanish Inquisition and fiddling priests have perverted catholicism. What religion can we turn to now? Or should we just get drunk?<br /><br />Look forward to your future posts.<br /><br />MesmerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-91296232811062843362010-07-14T16:56:54.804+01:002010-07-14T16:56:54.804+01:00Seems strange that after praying to their 'god...Seems strange that after praying to their 'god' they were not brought to mind of the teachings of Christ, love thy neighbour, turn the other cheek etc. Mostly they seem to be reminded of the wrathful god of the Old Testament who went around smiting anyone he felt like smiting...so its not that they prayed to 'god' it is more like they are attempting to emulate the 'old god' and see if they can equal his/its destructive acts...<br />I wish they would 'get a life'...Indyanhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974285525646225459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271194216217582823.post-83081468170569210412010-07-14T16:31:29.277+01:002010-07-14T16:31:29.277+01:00Amen......Amen......Peperbarmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14390448833897716671noreply@blogger.com
