Ape logic.

Quote:Men in a consul can devise a creed, that people of a later generation do not agree with or will not pledge themselves to are still subject to the 'religion' those men help create?

People operate by their frame of reference, whatever that may be. Martin Luther had unconventional ideas for his time, but his frame of reference was that of the established ideologues, the Fall of Man, the Trinity, the Atonement, etc. Things Christians accept as a divinely authored or at least inspired, ideas that trace their memetic lineage to a roomful of men who long ago decided the canon, creed and concept of Christ as the carnal conception of the creator which contemporary Christians commonly cling to as a credible cosmic corroboration. 'Christianity' was not delivered fully formed by revelation, but cobbled together out of the wildly differing sects and mutually exclusive principles that lay scattered about the known world as the result of the schisms that warranted Constantine to organize the sodding council talks in the first place. Yes, people are subject to history.

Quote:It is about this very thing. it is about casting off religion casting off creeds and other religious boundries and following God old sport.
So am I allowed to simultaneously beat AND rape my slaves or do I have to just do one things at a time? 'Cause god wants us to have fun, but not too much fun, and I want to make sure I fully understand his will. Praise him for giving me a penis so I don't have to deal with all the crap of not having one, as is his will.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
