Speak for yourself. Not all religions are brainwashing.

There is a select few Religions that actually offer peace, and spiritual guidance, etc. Take Buddhism for example.

Re: Pope offendes muslims
 

Yes everyone, let's drop religion because we fight over it.

Let's also drop everything associated with war as well, let's stop using oil, politics, and humans in general. Because wherever there are people, they will find a reason to be pissed over something. It's in our genetics to fight, it's basic primitive instinct. We've been fighting since...well forever.

Damn Athiests.

<_<

Re: Pope offendes muslims
 

The pope recited a quote from a 14th century Byzantine emperor, the Muslims took it out of context and are now angry for ignorant reasons. They didn't look at what the pope on a rope said before and after it. Smart, eh?

I don't mean ALL Muslims, but just the ones that keep taking things out of context.


Only the weak and ignorant are brainwashed by a religion (hence why extremists exist). Most, however, believe in it because they want to and it gives them information on morals/life.

Please clear that up for me. I don't know what you are saying.

Huh!?!?!? :confused:

Re: Pope offendes muslims
 

I believe he is condemning the morals of religion, for example, how Catholics wouldn't harm anyone, yet 100's of years ago they would burn people who they presumed to be a witch. He is pointing out the flaws in religion, which I partially agree with, but not all religions are like that.

I think the point is that the Middle East espects the people and governments of North America to say stupid shit about them..but when the pope..THE POPE says something like that..yeah..I doubt they were expecting that..of course there going to riot.

Pope John Paul II would have never said something like this..

Re: Pope offendes muslims
 

Yeah, which is why I love this new Pope.

Political correctness be damned, he speaks the truth.

Re: Pope offendes muslims
 

When the leader of one of the largest organizations on earth starts badmouthing the people of another large organization, then it gets to be too much. What the Pope said was uncalled for.

You are really taking what I said too seriously (hence the usertitle). I know this is The Pub, but if you think I really mean that one of the most powerful men in the world should be running his mouth off like that, then perhaps you need to look at the post in a different light.

Re: Pope offendes muslims
 

This Pope has yet to do anything really charitable or good for anybody yet like his predicessor, and hasn't done anything about the things that got him put into that position (deal with new gay catholic sects), so regaurdless of whether or not he is less politicaly correct than his predicessor, he is a whole lot more worthless,

Re: Pope offendes muslims
 

Has no one but me noticed the glaring irony in the Muslems' actions? Like, that to protest the quote that stated they were a religion of violence they're burning down churches?!

Some people really can be morons.

Religion in itself is an utter failure. One man I heard define it the best: "Religion is man's attempt to bind himself to God." Man cannot do that on his own, so religion falls flat on its face. I'm talking about every organized religion, too, be it Catholicism, Islam, Judaism...it goes on and on. Jesus even preached against the mockery the Jewish Pharisees had made of religion. "They worship Me in vain, their teachings are but rules taught by men."

All God intended was to have a perfect relationship with man. Look at what we've done to that idea now. :cort:
