Quote:Giving them a third option of continuing to believe in spirituality without relying upon jealous-God doctrines will give them an alternative choice that a lot of spiritual-minded people would jump at.
In some places that "option" can get them killed. We've had enough muslims show up here who cannot let it be known that they don't believe in the whole mohammed (FHUTA) routine.
Religion is the terror of the ignorant, my friend. The jews have this vision that they are god's "chosen people." What exactly has that ever gotten them? Hitler was simply the latest example of them being rounded up and murdered. European history is littered with such events. For being's such favorites of "god" they were repeatedly overrun by every power that rolled through the region and then, after 3 revolts, the Romans finally threw their asses out.
Why didn't "god" help them? Well, religion has an answer for that. It was THEIR OWN FUCKING FAULT. Somehow they did something that pissed off their holy sky-daddy so he said "FUCK YOU - GO ROME!" And the assholes believed it.
The Arabs were oppressed by waves of conquerors and in all that time fucking allah did exactly jack shit for them. Yet the morons still believe.
You are talking about overcoming a wall of stupidity which is high and thick.
