Concurring thought

[Alya Mizar (Tsybil)]

Evictus, the Muslums I know say "that is NOT my religon they are preaching". It seems the prophet disalows war against non combatants, at least women and children non combatants, not to sure of which.

Sugami, its bumper sticker theology. And it scares me.

I don't think religon is bad, just organized religon.

I find Judisam an easy religon to believe in. For one, our God is not all mercifull so we have no hard things to explain when an innocent dies. For another anyone who is a monotheist, who has lived by the code of his/her own religon, can get into Heaven. It is not a Jewish only club.

For many years I have pointed out that while we have a contract with God, when you examine it closley, it basically says: Here are the rules, now that you know them you can't **** up. The question then arises: What about all the goyim out there? Well it seems that they don't know the rules so they are allowed to **** up. I remain convinced that the reason so many of us become laywers is so they will not get taken like that again.

But seriously, we are the oldest living religon on the planet. Mighty nations have risen up against us and they are now dust under our heels. So maybe it isn't that bad a contract.

Wait a sec, now that I thik about it...what does all of this even have to deal with thinking about death? More of a Religion discussion.

[Alya Mizar (Tsybil)]

Its RRREAL hard to talk about death without bringing religon into it.

[Okuza]

Ya. Death just kills the subject. The end.

Now that people are mixing religion and politics into a thread on the Mithra forum, think it's OK to bring up Abortion?

[Karou Ariyen]

Abortion, IDGAF about abortion or rights of either side, why? Becuase I dont plan to have kids and some DEEDEEDEEE Offspring. I chose to spare the world from my offspring. there I said it.

It is a bad idea.

[Karou Ariyen]

All I'm Saying Is I Took A Look At My Genes, The Intelligent Genes Skip Every 2 Generations, I'm Generation 1. Generation 2, I.E. My Kids, Will Be All Dee Dee Dee~ and Then that will change the genetic code if they end up with another idiot and fornicate

My Point Is, I'm Sparing The World From My Gene Pool

[Kintrra]

/em thinks mini-Karou's running around would be a hell of a lot better than most of the morons in the world already.

Plus they'd at least be entertaining.

[Karou Ariyen]

Do You Remember the Wreckage of Earth In Independance Day? That's what will happen if I teach my kids about Fire

[Kintrra]

Well....at least they'll still be fun? And of course, you could always just keep them locked in one room till they hit 18 then turn'em loose on the world...then after that it's all their own faults.

[Karou Ariyen]

Or I Could Lock YOU In a room with them, a green screen room, and have Drew Carey send his animator team after it!

sorry been watching Drew Carey's Green Screen Show on YouTube

[Sugami]

Sugami, its bumper sticker theology. And it scares me.

I don't think religon is bad, just organized religon.

I find Judisam an easy religon to believe in. For one, our God is not all mercifull so we have no hard things to explain when an innocent dies. For another anyone who is a monotheist, who has lived by the code of his/her own religon, can get into Heaven. It is not a Jewish only club.

That bumper sticker is probably meant as a (partial) joke, know any serious bumper stickers?

Judism and Christianity is basically the same up to a point (start of the New Testiment), to me the only difference I see is that we believe Jesus was the Son of God and Jews think he was only a prophet.

Now that people are mixing religion and politics into a thread on the Mithra forum, think it's OK to bring up Abortion?

Heh can't get much more ethical than that. The current "belief" is that up to a certain age it isn't a life and therefore it's okay to have an abortion. It's a bit hard to know when this age is but I'm fine with it.

@ mini-Karous XD aww~

Bad kids come from bad parents, if you don't bring them up well then they turn out badly.

[Alya Mizar (Tsybil)]

The Intelligent Genes Skip Every 2 Generations

No, just no. My maternal grandfather and my mother were/are both quite bright and artistic. My father and I have the same piercing intelect. I rate in the 2 percentile IQ bracket, I dobut that he is below the 5 percentile bracket, but I hardly know him. I have so little artistic ability that mechanical drawing was a hard calss for me.

Sometimes genes for brains and talent skip 1, 2, or many generations. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes talent or brains appear just once in a family line.

We understand the genitics of human eye color. We do not quite have a handle on the genitics of human hair color and type. The genitics of tallent and brains? Not nearly yet.

IMHO bringing up abortion in a froum not dedicated to religous or moral quandries is the same as bringing up religon or politics at the dinner table.

[Karou Ariyen]

i was talking about my family's genes only not anyone elses

[Okuza]

{Hmmm}

I was just watching this little taru. The taru had no idea I was watching. I realized that I could almost feel my "claws" extending -- rasping on their sheaths and getting sharper .. sharper. I wanted to dig my claws in so bad. There is just something about small squeaky things with twitchy ears.

Then I had a epiphany. A vision. I saw a mithra wearing overalls. I heard banjos dueling. The mithra had a big galka cowering under her claws and was crowing, "C'mon, *sqeeeeaaak* like a taru!"

Ooops -- 'scuse me. Time for my meds. Back in a bit to chat more about religion, politics, and other squeaky things.
