Namely, any war that isn't completely fueled and/or run by the lunatic fanatic fringe of said religion?<br /><br />Really, it is comments like that that make me quite intolerant of evolutionists/"atheists" (who are actually agnostics). True progressives, in my opinion, accept religion, just like they accept everyone.<br /><br />For the record, I believe in creation AND evolution (oooo intrigue).<br /><br />I do appreciate your apology, though. On your other point, Judaism's absolute faith you speak of- in actuality, true Judaism is about questioning EVERYTHING, all the time. Quite the contrary of blind faith! In fact, just this past summer, I attended a Jewish youth retreat where the THEME of a program was blind faith and how dangerous it is. I can't speak to other religions, but for my own religion, I can.<br /><br />And of course, great article, Simon.Soren Houghhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03901854905741476379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-16427261768502600202009-01-19T20:28:00.000-05:002009-01-19T20:28:00.000-05:00Hi everyone...golly... a fullblown theological dis...Hi everyone...golly... a fullblown theological discussion on my my blog. I don't know whether to be flattered or shocked. :)<BR/>For the record I understand how Jym feels about religion. But I also agree with Scott that you can't tar everyone with the same brush...because there are good religious people...and I don't judge people on their beliefs but only on how they treat other humans.<BR/>Although nothing will shake my firm belief that religion is a delusion that can distract us from dealing with the problems of this world...our heaven and our hell.<BR/>As well as fomenting hatred against me and so many others. And that when it comes to Lifeshite, as Sassy suggests, we really do need tinfoil helmets.<BR/>As for you Skinny Dipper I firmly deny that I intended to suggest that the fat bigot Rick Warren is a closet queen.<BR/>But now that you mention it why not? ;)Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-46188900744601772472009-01-17T13:03:00.000-05:002009-01-17T13:03:00.000-05:00Hopefully, you know that I'm kidding.Hopefully, you know that I'm kidding.Skinny Dipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818163310102120130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-73622937100102246412009-01-17T04:21:00.000-05:002009-01-17T04:21:00.000-05:00You have a picture of Barack Obama with a sprinkle...You have a picture of Barack Obama with a sprinkled donut.

The elephant made things worse by adding a bestial relationship. I wonder what kind of donuts they ate in the 80's.

Bush, Obama and Harper are the leaders because of their religion. Movies and TV are filled with the dialogue of children because of fear of religious censorship. Drugs and pleasure are a crime because of religion. Women are robbed of their choice because of religion. Scott, you have the upper hand. You are the king. We are merely slaves with the impotent threat of insult as our only tool.Jim Parretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331887342292476909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-84358550147998912702009-01-17T01:19:00.000-05:002009-01-17T01:19:00.000-05:00My apologies, Scott.

And that is not fair.<BR/><BR/>Then again Scott, I haven't seen a whole lot of good come from the religious people of any faith. I've seen wars, lies and corruption. Where are the questions? Where are the doubts? Faith is absolution and I believe in it. But, I don't believe in blind faith. I am not a progressive when it comes to abuses of the less entitled. And the blind faithful in defined religions have ALWAYS made waste of those who question them. If you can't stand the questions in your faith, Scott, who are you?Jim Parretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331887342292476909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-85146838531774337842009-01-17T01:11:00.000-05:002009-01-17T01:11:00.000-05:00Krazy Krispy Kreme Konspiracy.Tinfoil hats anyone?...<B>K</B>razy <B>K</B>rispy <B>K</B>reme <B>K</B>onspiracy.<BR/><BR/>Tinfoil hats anyone?sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10423260743909863283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-56874701691468719072009-01-17T00:13:00.000-05:002009-01-17T00:13:00.000-05:00Hmm.. all of us are completely nuts, sociopathic, ...Hmm.. all of us are completely nuts, sociopathic, and infantile Jymn?<BR/><BR/>I'm a Christian, and I think I'm fairly sane, thank you very much.<BR/><BR/>You need to learn to stop painting or tarring people with a large brush.. something we progressives often accuse the right-wing of doing... but who often forget about that and do the exact same thing when they talk about people of faith.Oxford County Liberalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12181314055142726735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-8643525037166401882009-01-16T23:06:00.000-05:002009-01-16T23:06:00.000-05:00I am so sick of Christians, Muslims and Jews.
