I don't really know how to answer that... You don't make much sense...

I don't know what kind of brainwashing power you are referring to.

Oh deary me Castle..where did you get that nonsense from??

Why should that trouble YOU ? Should you ask them they WILL tell you what they think. Why are you complaining?

I like that one... good joke

As you say live and let live. There is nothing for you to "understand" you don't want to "understand"

And some being brutalised by religion will see your "sharing" as preaching ..something they don't really want or is allowed on this forum

Or like my Mother who was a closet atheist for 35 years and my Dad a Catholic and Brother a Pastor. From this extreme living condition my job was to find our family a loving middle grounds,. It worked! We all love each other very much... It would only work here on this forum if someone was truly sick and tire of endlessly putting down the other side way of thinking. and I had the time . One beautiful thing about my atheist Mother, she loved us 3 kids deeply and she did not put others down.

I'm very happy you console yourself with fond memories of your child hood. It probably wasn't THAT great. I am sorry to hear that your mother had to suffer so. Mine is doing the same thing...must be a generation thingy.?

Castle, aren't you getting bored of being told you don't make any sense? Your brain is an absolute mess.

It's been a brain of wonderful fixable lifelong success, good thing my opinion about myself is the most important in the world. Or I would be stuck on a one-sided limited way of thinking, maybe for life.

Not too long ago religious brainwashing more dominate, not so much today

Yes, and they know full well that without that power they are fucking lost.

"Castle-"Gay were legal in America in 1973, were my Mother was still in the closet being atheist still, no law was against atheist, it was not socially acceptable, until about eight years ago where things turned for my Mother. About the last 10-15 years , atheist got started making big news headlines. If you understand how my mother suffer and your own Mother also then you would understand how the pass generation generally suffered more so then than today.

Not complaining, only curios on how all kinds of people think and want just a closer understanding of all side being an artist and all. You think my sharing" is preaching? I read the rules, not been warn yet, what am I doing that is not allowed on this forum?

Their must have had some good imagnation to keep it together and alive. You would think they would of come up with some other better system, then to dig up some old med evil crap from 2000 years ago where the adverage age was 25.

I don't understand yyyyooouuuuu...

Nobody does. Get him a translator.

OK, that was not written well. I meant Religion has up sides and they have down sides and it’s the same for atheist, including every group and person out there. Atheist still won’t tell me their down side is, I already told all of you my down side, English writing, now eat me!!!

Quote:In 782 A.D. some 4,500 Saxon leaders are said to have been beheaded for practicing their indigenous Germanic paganism, having officially, albeit under duress, converted to Christianity and undergone baptism. The river Aller was said to have been flowing red with their blood. Charlemagne's motives were to demonstrate his overlordship and the severity of punishment for rebellion.

Imagination? When you have a sword in your hand and the willingness to use it for your fucking religion you don't need "imagination."
