This being my first post om this board i will give a little back story. I believe in God. I don't believe in the bible. Im pro life, pro birth control, and pro gay marriage. So i don't fit into any group. i hate hypochristians, those are people who say god hates fags and then go off and have pre martial sex. That being said, I have no problem with people being christians, or muslim, or hindus, or jews, or athetist, or whatever. I belive everyone has their own religion for their own purposes. Hell if the bible was one hard and fast rule book there wouldnt be catholic and baptist and mormons and methodist. There would be just one christian denomination. So i don't understand why you (tekriter) have such a problem with other people having their own religion. Has anyone gone after you saying your entire belief system is bullshit? or that you're an idiot for thinking the way you do? if not, then why do you try to take away from people something they hold so dear?

| | | Posted by earthworm You know what I find really funny? That a lot of those mystical alchemical theories, stuff like the "four elements" that seem so much like psuedoscience these days actually have analogs to modern scientific theories. I'll use the four elements as a for instance: The four elements from which everything was made were (in this order, ascending) earth, water, air and fire, and there is the ether in which everything takes place. The four states of matter are (levels of ascending kinetic energy) Solid, liquid, Gas and Plasma. Also, there's this invisible stuff that it turns out that most of the universe is made of called dark matter... It sounds a hell of a lot like some "pseudoscience" from 3000 years ago. I mean, it wasn't until relatively recently that fire was determined to produce this ionized gas state of matter we call plasma. There are a hell of a lot of examples of this in some strange sounding occult teachings. Whats this I hear about entanglement?
| There's a bunch of occult authors jumping on the quantum mechanics bandwagon. As for astrophysics not being full of shit, I'll let you guys know when I finish grad school ;) I do understand that there are scientists out there who will spew out bullshit for the sake of a check. I understand that just about anyone in this country will. It seems to be our cultural nature. (I'd like to think it isn't human nature.) What disappoints me is how awful our view of education is. It seems like no one wants to think anymore let alone learn. I'm in college now and see this in every class. Half the students sit there, bitch, and moan, "why do we have to learn this??" Why does no one enjoy learning for the sake of learning? I will never understand how people will intentionally prevent themselves from increasing their intelligence or awareness of the world. And that, is more or less why we are so quick to absorb whatever is fed to us.

You're right. I believe it leans more toward how it's used to ignore reality though.
| It is a critique of religion for sure, but not nearly as damning as it appears out of context. You can sort of see him speaking of its positives in "the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions". That is why it is the opiate of the masses, it give people hope and happiness when in reality life is shit. Just the way opium would give you such an incredible high or in the time medically would offer peace when injured but in fact offer no mend to your wound. It is overlooked that while he is critiquing religion here he, I feel, more acknowledges the good it does for people while truely making a point to damn the conditions while make happiness and comfort that religion gives people necessary. It is evident in the last line "To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo" It, in its entirety is a great quote. Now if only Marx managed to finish he whole "Communism" thing.

| | | Marauding Gay Hordes Drag Thousands Of Helpless Citizens From Marriages After Obama Drops Defense Of Marriage Act http://www.theonio...nds-of-helpless-ci,19325/ WASHINGTON—Reports continue to pour in from around the nation today of helpless Americans being forcibly taken from their marital unions after President Obama dropped the Defense of Marriage Act earlier this week, leaving the institution completely vulnerable to roving bands of homosexuals. "It was just awful—they smashed through our living room window, one of them said 'I've had my eye on you, Roger,' and then they dragged my husband off kicking and screaming," said Cleveland-area homemaker Rita Ellington, one of the latest victims whose defenseless marriage was overrun by the hordes of battle-ready gays that had been clambering at the gates of matrimony since the DOMA went into effect in 1996. "Oh dear God, why did they remove the protection provided by this vital piece of legislation? My children! What will I tell my children?" A video communique was sent to the media late yesterday from what appears to be the as-yet unidentified leader of the gay marauders, who, adorned in terrifying warpaint, announced "Richard Dickson of Ames, Iowa. We're coming for you next. Put on something nice."
