IM SICK OF RELIGIOUS PROPOGANDA!!!
    #8377062 - 05/08/08 11:10 AM (15 years, 10 months ago)

So im at work right now, nthing to do, and 12 rolls around. Ok time to go to lunch, i descide to go to a pizza joint 2 blocks from my office. Along the way, 3 rather large black women blind side me outta now where and start shoving bibles, pamphlets, etc in my face sayin " Embrace the lord and saviour of the human race! Accept jesus and you shall be saved! " So in no harsh tone, just politley i said " Please, dont push your relisious propoganda in my face, im not a man of faith and i made that decision on my own please leave me alone"

To which they respond with " Oh this poor young man has already been claimed by Satan himself, oh god have mercy on the one, SAVE HIS SOUL!"

At which point I just got fed up with all the attention this was drawing to myself, so I just walked through them and continued on my lunch break. It just really gets under my skin when people find out that I dont accept god and then they call me the devi. Excuse me but i find the theory of evolution to be a much more logical explanation, than, Some all mighty power just clapped his hands and everything sprang into existance.

eh. i'd be scared if three large black women surrounded me if they were religious or not. i don't like when people come to my house. i think they've learned.

like slaughter a lamb and place it on your doorstep.

the book of revelation is a good read. the apostle john wrote it when he was exiled in the a place like the the modern day alcatraz.
and the book of david is good.

the bibles a good read. a fictional good read.

Man those people are always going to be around, I just think of it as an excuse to have some fun. Just start undressing slowly as they are talking to you about Jesus. Hilarity will ensue.

In a sence and i will concede that point to you, but in my opinion, it wasnt some higher being who just wished us into existance.

No, he had to use physical laws. That is why he used natural selection, to help mold us into existance.

religion is for those who fear death, and can't think of a explanation of how life was created, without someone telling them.

Religion is just an attempt to understand a concept that the human mind isn't capable of understanding; creation. Just like science is, just science uses many provable forms of evidence to try to explain creation. While religion uses something the human mind is capable of to explain creation, fiction.

I believe the scientific method is a trust worthy method of coming up with a fix for a problem. But unlike math I don't think science can work backwards. i.e. having an answer and using science to explain it.

As for me I could care less about how existence was created, I'm more concerned with what I can create with existence.

You're probably confusing fear of death with a yearn to live. Its not so much that you're scared of dieing, you just don't want to not live.

Personally I've lost my fear of death, but today I was tearing down some scaffolding and I was taking off the first section (basically the top section) and sort of lost my balance, 50 ft above the ground. That scared the shit out of me, but I took that less as fear and more as a 'holy shit if I want to stay alive I should re-balance myself' message.

If you have it in you to see your own life from someone else's perspective (I don't blame you if you can't, as few do), what they're doing is perfectly understandable. Until you embrace religion, followers seem absurd to you. The moment that you do, it all makes sense.

But see, you're still not seeing it as they do. To them, you are a child of God that has turned its back on the infinitely good, for a life of sin and misery. It's a moral imperative to turn you around. Can you really blame them for doing that? You can dismiss them as nutjobs, but beyond their initially metaphysical premises, the rest of their actions are perfectly sequitur.

And @ your previous post, "absurd" to whom? The degenerate nonbelievers? Are you that afraid of being seen as absurd to people who don't believe in infinite consequence?

And conversely, Hitler's actions have no bearing on what the OP called "religious propaganda", unless you're trying to make an inherently absurd argument.

Right back at ya.

religion has been the cause of so many wars and deaths, because they were fighting for there gods. Killing people over something that has no proof of existence seems pretty insane to me.

And no, you said that those ladies were just doing what they thought was rite, and i compared them to Hitler. Much larger scale, yes but some concept.

:orly:, I think religious propaganda was very much a part of the Nazi movement.

With the possible exception of Islam, genuine believers in any major religion wouldn't even think of inciting violence to spread faith in their God. You're confusing the taught followers (i.e, those who were taught to believe in God by their parents, but never truly understood what that even meant), with the genuine followers who have on the most fundamental level embraced love and the infinite beyond.

And I really don't see how your comparison to Hitler can compare to me saying that they were doing what they thought was right... and wasn't what I said patently obvious, anyway? Do you seriously think that religious people don't do what they think is right? Comparing them to Hitler is being irrational and sensationalistic in a desperate attempt to make an inherently unsupportable point.

In America, religion and propaganda go hand in hand. They are both ment to control your thoughts, your actions, and your beliefs.

I think religious people do what they think is rite, but they have been told things that are wrong, making there actions wrong.

Good reply.

It's an unfortunate truth that religion is and has been for pretty much its entire history used as a mode of control. But those who would seek to do such a thing aren't true believers, they are manipulative and insincere exploiters of humanity, that any religion would condemn. It is admittedly a difficult task to separate out the teachings of such people from the teachings of a guru, shaman, or what-have you, but to dismiss all spirituality because of this unfortunate circumstance is really a terrible move to make.

Now please don't confuse me for a religious nutjob. I spent over a decade of my life in fact-worshipping nihilism, under the faux guise of scientific realism. I do believe I've followed that path to its very end, and there I discovered the truth that we have no understanding of reality, and thus that to live your life in any way other than what is humanly natural and in line with the pursuit of true joy, is downright tragic. I'm not religious so much as I am spiritual, and what I've said in this thread wasn't a reaction to an offense against my own credos, but what I see as the unfair perception of genuinely good people.

So your saying that Hernando De Soto and all the Spanish Conquistadors, who slaughted thousands of innocent Native Americans, didnt truly believe in god? That was their whole intent, to spread the christian religion, and any who didnt accpet it were struck down, beaten and murderd. But the conquistdors truly believed in god, ive read personal diarys of the conquistadors. They thought they were doing the bidding of god. Now tell me, what kind of loving great father, would allow the needless murders of thousnds of innocent humans in his name?
And the conquistadors were never condemed, they were given praise and were almost worshiped by their people for striking down the demon natives. No, no religion condems control, they encourage it, if your not one of us, your against us. And if you wont convert then you are the devil. It ridiculous IMO.

I think the Spanish Conquistadors were part of an elaborate plot, by the church, to try and control the "New Frontier"

They were nothing more than religious soldiers.

" but what I see as the unfair perception of genuinely good people. "


And is thei perception of me any better? Im appearntly satan himself, and im a genuinely good perosn. Granted i partake is some illicit activitys here and there but over all im a pretty good person. So is it FAIR for them to percieve me as the devil? No. Is it FAIR for me to percieve them as a bucnch of bible thumping lunatics? No. But the difference is, i dont think of them that way. I disagree with their beliefs, but i dont degrade them, or belittle them. I just try to go on my merry way believe what i believe, which is not in god. So is it FAIR that I see them as commonly good people, and I in return am reguared as the devil, simply because i dont share the same religous faith?

So im at work right now, nthing to do, and 12 rolls around. Ok time to go to lunch, i descide to go to a pizza joint 2 blocks from my office. Along the way, 3 rather large black women blind side me outta now where and start shoving bibles, pamphlets, etc in my face sayin " Embrace the lord and saviour of the human race! Accept jesus and you shall be saved! " So in no harsh tone, just politley i said " Please, dont push your relisious propoganda in my face, im not a man of faith and i made that decision on my own please leave me alone"

To which they respond with " Oh this poor young man has already been claimed by Satan himself, oh god have mercy on the one, SAVE HIS SOUL!"

At which point I just got fed up with all the attention this was drawing to myself, so I just walked through them and continued on my lunch break. It just really gets under my skin when people find out that I dont accept god and then they call me the devi. Excuse me but i find the theory of evolution to be a much more logical explanation, than, Some all mighty power just clapped his hands and everything sprang into existance.


Yeah its much more believable that nothing clapped no hands and no power help in creation...I mean its obvious some chemicals and elements just happened to mix and make life just by chance on their own, way more logical of an explanation...especially considering we cannot replicate it in a lab yet,...come on everyhitng is propaganda if you boil it all down... but seriously not this argument again, and again and im sure after this even again...its a pointless rant about nothing, creationist and evolutionist will never see eye to eye until we can create life in a lab...nuff said.

Sorry but your 100% wrong ...remember their is no FACT in the THEORY of evolution yet. It is basically accepted and obviously going on but not FACT, research it and youll see we cannot replicate what supposedly happened on its own with no help from a creator. So whats more far fetched, it happened on its own or it happend because of a higher power? Nobody can say.

But see, you're still not seeing it as they do. To them, you are a child of God that has turned its back on the infinitely good, for a life of sin and misery. It's a moral imperative to turn you around. Can you really blame them for doing that? You can dismiss them as nutjobs, but beyond their initially metaphysical premises, the rest of their actions are perfectly sequitur.

And @ your previous post, "absurd" to whom? The degenerate nonbelievers? Are you that afraid of being seen as absurd to people who don't believe in infinite consequence?




Nice use of italics on your weekly vocab word :congrats:

The thing about them thinking I'm a child of God that's turned his back and desperately needs to be saved is...I don't give a shit.  It's still proselytizing, in your face bullshit.  I can (and do) blame them for doing that.  Live and let live.  It's easy.  Just don't get all preachy with people.  Who are they to be so sure they've found the one way to "salvation"?

Anyhow, organized religion is a farce, and your arguments about religion condemning those who exploit humanity are complete nonsense.  I could list examples, but that would be redundant for anyone who's taken a middle school level history class.

If you truly are sick of religious propaganda, don't spend any time responding to it. Smile genuinely and say "no thanks" and leave it behind you. This would take about three seconds out of your life. You took it upon yourself to declare your beliefs to these women, as if it's important that they know your point of view.

Now you are still voluntarily spending your time thinking about it and making a thread about it... if it really is an intrusion on your life, why let it continue to intrude by ranting about it now?

Or do you enjoy trumpeting your opinion about God as much as the three fat ladies do?

I figured id make my opinions known just as they did, no harm done. The only intrusion, its when stuff is being shoved in my face, and as for " ranting " about it... I just find it entertaining as well as enlightening to discuss my daily issues with my fellow shroomery members. But not those who make a rather pathetic attempt to belittle me, my discussons and my beliefes. So please, unless you are going to add anything insightful to the ( until now ) pleasant discusson/debate...

AMEN?...LOL. This is an ongoing debate that will never end...usually starting with someone wanting to profess their hate of religion in one respect or another...or lack there of.... Boil it down and its someones expericance and attempt to debate a subject that will never end at all or equally.

The point made to let something go and not even respond is the best opinion and really turning something that affects you into a stress in your life that you will talk about later is no good for you or anyone around you.
Let it go and people will believe what they believe and everyone suddenly gets along great... if you dont let it affect you it wont, there millions of types of people and things we could all hate or just simply not like for some reason, no point in letting it affect you later in life though?...just logical thought there but who knows?

The serpent from Genesis origionally had limbs before God took them away causing him to have to crawl on his belly.

Here's what it may have looked like:

I'm sorry that you would deny the infinite beyond, on the basis of the finite, the corporeal. In your next incarnation, may you have the clairvoyance to transcend.

With the possible exception of Islam, genuine believers in any major religion wouldn't even think of inciting violence to spread faith in their God. You're confusing the taught followers (i.e, those who were taught to believe in God by their parents, but never truly understood what that even meant), with the genuine followers who have on the most fundamental level embraced love and the infinite beyond.

And I really don't see how your comparison to Hitler can compare to me saying that they were doing what they thought was right... and wasn't what I said patently obvious, anyway? Do you seriously think that religious people don't do what they think is right? Comparing them to Hitler is being irrational and sensationalistic in a desperate attempt to make an inherently unsupportable point.





HAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!! Wow, read a fucking history book. Hitler's shit lasted less than a quarter century, check out the inquisition. In fact, read the bible, old and new testaments and related works. Or the koran. In fact, any Christian or Islamic human, who conceded these books are the 'word of god', are required to kill me. Under penalty of death. In fact, it seems that the only ones acting under 'reason' of modern monotheistic religions are the ones with genocidal ambitions.

This is without addressing the historical inconsistancies, conspicuously contradictory precepts throughout all. Also, aside the fact that Hitler and anyone who sincerely subscribes to abrahamic religion, true unadulterated religion and not the cherry picking moderate fence-riding pascalian religion, can ONLY act ethically or morally by means of exterminating the competition your point is entirely moot.

Fuck religion. Embracing love and the infinite beyond is useless when the love and infinite are abstractions separated from the reality around you that allow logistical leaps to kill others for their simple thoughts. Spirituality is NOT religion, and the two should NEVER be confused or used synonymously as it is unfair to reason/logic-based pursuit of true significances.

Note : This is NOT meant as a personal attack against the poster quoted above. That post was used to illustrate the
implicit conflict between any real spiritual pursuit looking ahead and the religious superstitions and ideals holding us back. These two are confused often and need to be made distinct at every opportunity. These confusions lead to prejudice which leads to culture disavowal which leads to prohibition of 'morally inept' behavior which leads to these sorts of sites for those of us who may find ourselves here.

The fact that these policies are enacted by lobbies of others who feel for reasons of holy duty to imprison those of such sins deeply effect the lives of many of us. Maybe if the Church would stay the fuck out of my life it would be an option to stay the fuck out of their ridiculous, arrogant, worldviews and the perpetuation of such. Alas, this is not the prerogative of any such institution.

Are you physiologically incapable of taking anything seriously, or do you choose to muddle in insincere and sensational aesthetics?

Your preconceived notion of absurdity has no bearing on faith. Considering that modern science is ultimately based on a fallacious doctrine (Cartesian logic, the origin of which [or rather, the justification for] was the fallacy "I think therefore I am"), I no longer see any reason to write myself off to it. So many people are obsessed in factual truth, to the extent that they make it their sole pursuit of soul; to me, that is absurd.

Yeah, true. But fucking Thor is much more badass than Yahweh. Yahweh is too shy to even show his face to those who disavow toast. Thor has a hammer. Science is not based on Cartesian Logic. Thats Descartes.

Science is based on empirical evidence and theories based on such empirical data collected from standardized real-world situations.

Philosophy attempts to find truth for/from internal speculation and logistical loops.

Spirituality searches for higher answers in personally vindicating ways and often focuses on abstractions and personally rewarding sensational experience.

Religion retards all of these above.

Many of us here have had similar experiences to those described by Jesus when he's not in the middle of an arrogant, socio pathological, megalomaniacal rant about killing your neighbor for working on Saturday.

And religion is supposed to be 'immune' from criticism?
Science brought us vaccines and religion brought us honor  killings and witch-hunts. I'm sure many have felt true spiritual bliss from what they count as religion. But being a reformed Christian, I have the right as you would to say the joys are just as well and rewarding, and most certainly clearer, when you allow your thinking to be free.

Once again, this is not a personal attack. My way of 'touching god' whatever the fuck that means lands me in jail while religious ways of talking to god ignores real problems. Due credit, science saves lives. Religion ends them. This is indisputable regardless of one's ability to disregard their own reality, and any other profess is dangerously ignorant in a society where an extremist country can build a hydrogen bomb!:thumbdown:

Faith is absurd:

belief in something that has no evidence or has actually been proven to be incorrect and yet believing it all the more strongly because 'you just know'
(or more correctly you have been conditioned through whatever reasons; social pressure/in-group altruism/parents etc, to ignore mountains of factual evidence without any personal understanding.

so you would rather live in a vacuum of happy ignorance?

faith is just a huge nonchalant shrug of the shoulders, just a giving up and pinning any yet unsolved mystery to a Deity..

Yes I would, by what I presume to be your definition of the word "ignorance". Again, I don't see truth as a legitimate human pursuit. Even from the scientific perspective I formerly embraced, we have no claim to truth; we can make vague approximations based on the immeasurably minute stimuli that enter our brains, but so much isn't and indeed can't be known.

Why not skip the uncertainty and embrace what one genuinely wants to believe, what will better the human condition -- life on Planet earth as a whole even, what just might in fact lead to sincere bliss?

What one wants is often involves infringement on another. I want to fuck that beautiful girl, she does not reciprocate, and I rape her? Or I want a uniform belief across a culture, threaten the sentient agents with a vengeful wrath of a literary figure taken too seriously, and if a few are exterminated due to the resulting intolerance, fuck it.

There is much claim to truth. Giving a gift too your mother is more loving than killing her. There will always be mitigating factors. This is why the static set laws of religious world-views extended to societal settings in a fluid, dynamic, and changing universe will ALWAYS be wrong more of the time than not. Things must be taken on individual bases; or again we come to pre-judging. The logic has become circular.

And if ignorace and a defeatists attitude toward REAL knowledge and revelation leads to severe bliss it is in the same regard that opiates do the same thing before taking your entire free-will and life away from you.
Some of us would rather live in a cold, stark, uncomfortable place than live with the subconscious knowledge that we are lying to ourselves about what we KNOW is right.

Maybe YOU have no claim to truth. I am a limb of a self-observing and organizing universe and I'll make claim to whatever motherfucking truth about myself, being part of such named self-organizing universe that I want to. I someone else wants to ignore their condition and the world around them choosing to resort to comfort and familiarity that is, again their prerogative.

BUT UNTIL THESE ORGANIZATIONS KEEP IT THE FUCK TO THEMSELVES THEY ALL DESERVE THE HELL THEY SO HONESTLY WISH FOR!

Leave the rest of us the fuck alone. And that is NOT being done.

And 'truth' and 'real knowledge', Thor, just sayin'...

Indeed, it is. I just finished getting catched up on all the stuff I've missed in the 5 years it's been since I'd been there.
