Re: ot: 1 min of silence
What man has the right to claim to be Gods personal representative to man? What gave this religion the right to make that claim? Surely God himself did no such thing and to claim otherwise would be a lie would it not?
I want to feel sorry for people who buy into religion about the same way I feel sorry for the people who buy into cults. If their that needy, that blind, that desprate, then so be it, its their business and not mine.
At least, or so I hope, more good comes from the Cathlic Church than bad, and I don't see hords of fanatical Cahtlics out blowing up buildings, cars, trains, themselves, or beheading inocent people for no reason other than to be blood thursty sadists all in the name of God.
I now know why Islam (sp) was viewed by western cultures as the worship of satan... by their view, and I guess even by todays standards, killing inocent people in the name of God via severing their head off of their bodies with a two inch pocket knief would seem like something a bad person would do.... Then again, western culutres tacked peopled to crossess and let them bleed to death in the burning heat of the sun or freezing cold of winter so by islamic beliefs the western cultures were barbaric.
Religion divides people, faith brings them together.
