On the Subject of Religion

Posted by JakBaronKing - June 2nd, 2011


Man...I can't TALK to certain people about Religion. It's like...taboo for them to hear about it. Such a strange mindset.

Why can't people who are devoted Christians not feel threatened when I discuss what I learned in Religion Class today.

I tried and it's like with my Aunty...I get interrupted with someone quoting Bible verses to contradict my sentence.

Well aunty, I'm not trying to dispute anything, we were on the topic of India as a country and I thought I share something interesting I learned about Hinduism.

It reminded me that there are some VERY narrow minded people in the world when they are placed in a situation to 'test their faith.'

Bullshit man. This isn't testing your faith. Religion is culture, plain and simple. It's important to learn what once was and still is.

You can't dispute what you can't prove. It's a FACT!

The only way you can prove it is if you saw Jesus was performing miracles thousands of years ago.

It's time to settle something here and you people of Newgrounds should watch these videos.

If you feel any form of respect to demographics older than your own, then you should just listen with the intent to learn and not dispute.

It's actually quite interesting. Their mindset, their morals, and it's quite possible, your Religion might be wrong.

Especially by what your 'clergy' tell you. Remember, that's 'their' interpretation of the Bible. You need to interpret things on your own. That's your personal responsibility to learn to read, listen, and interpret.

Remember, no religion can be proven nor disproven. So it is irrelevant to go to extreme means to try and convince yourself or others of your faith.

Just take it as learning 'history'. And we can all learn from 'history'.

Forget about 'faith' for just a moment and open your mind to amazing new cultures and mindset.

But if you stamp and hammer out your beliefs like a troll...then your just being a close minded bully.

Religion...in some cultures...is treated like Terrorism. Don't treat it as a weapon of thought.
Ever heard of the Spanish Inquisition, Book Burning, and of course 9-11.

DON'T assume Institutions who label themselves with Christianity are peaceful.
Go Google 'Force Ministries' and 'Christian Soldiers'
They did some book burning back in 85'.
((But don't go to their sites. My Virus site monitoring program says it's NOT safe))

Don't let Religion conflict with your mind views and CERTAINLY don't join a cult that emphasizes violence or genocide.

In this day and age, it is almost IMPORTANT to gain perspective in order to prevent terrorism driven by Religious beliefs.

Religion is all about perspective. So it's important that you get some.

Our ancestors can date back to any of these potential Religions.

Basically many of you are saying "Jesus Loves Me - That's ALL I know."

Click on any of these that I've learned so far this Religion Class.

If your Religion says to not worship any others, fine, don't. But at least learn from them.

"YES AUNTY! I know Jesus died for my sins. But I'm still gonna watch South Park!"

dude come talk to me i love learning about other religions i even us them for my book nahah besides alot of people are to foolish to realize that war is basicly based on zero understanding of other minds. nahaha that sounded cool *Smoke Bomb* check out my posts

Just take a Religion Class at your community college.

Find a non-bias teacher to lecture about the different Religions.

I personally find the initial attitude of Hindus to be worth while.

Essentially....every action driven by an egotistical motive is bad karma, no matter if it results in suffering or happiness.

I got a simple view on religion.
Believe in what inspires people to be good for each other, regardless of opinion on more controversial topics and disputes as to which god is more likely to be the real one, if there is a god in the first place.

Yes, but once you conflict the viewpoints, that's when arguments start.

So it's important to gain perspective now before you get TOO absorbed into your Clergy.

erm im suppose do read all that then watch 3 hours worth of people talking about Religion.... no comment

No comment but at least watch one of them.
