Biblical challenge

Me too

meee three!

I haven't got a belief spectrum. I only accept that things seem a certain way to me. If someone offers me a better explanation I'll go with that. I don't have to believe in the latest scientific theory or the old book theory. I'm a free man. You seem to be tied up in knots with it all. Try to get out more.
Lets see, you called me a failed artist, an arrogant, bigoted, under-achieving small town, ignorant, semi-educated, unmarried, poverty stricken raver.
In the words of the great sage himself ' try not to be so intolerant of those unfamiliar to you'
:worship:

Being a "Nu-Jew"(tm) cant be that brilliant; your man Joe is obviously so troubled by his former existence as a scabby little raver that he feels the need to come back to his old stomping ground and bleat on about how wonderful his new found life is?

Sounds like its Forks 1 - Joe 0 to me

There is nothing wrong with religion, people may need a spiritual side. Its when religion gets organised and people (particularly governments/authority) start to put to their own spin on it, for their own gain, is when you should start to worry. And every religion is guilty of this. The biggest example with Christians is the old, "Hmmm, I need to build a nice new big church, but I need some cash for this, lets see. Ahh yes lets instigate the idea of heaven and hell into this niffty little book. Then I can go around and put the fear of god and your immortal soul on the line. But of course if you slip me a few quid or maybe that nice little sea side block of land you have, your immortal soul will end up in heaven."

The Koran actually says that you shall treat woman like the farmer treats the dirt beneath his feet. Most farmers would tell you the soil is very important to their livelihood and treat it like gold. But as soon as some woman hating prick got hold of this and put their own spin on it... well you know the rest.

Anyway the point of this is that religion is not to blame for the ills done in their various names. Its people you should be blaming, and people who go round saying things like "Jews run the media" (which I hear all the time), "Muslims believe this", "Christians believe so and so", are more to blame than most.

yeh. sumfink like that.
