Religion

A long held argument of mine. My niece left school at 18 with a shit load of A levels. I asked her what compound interest was, she had no idea. I asked here the difference between capital gains tax and income tax, she was struggling, I asked her what endowment meant, No idea. Not her fault of course.
Haha! I guarantee she'll be calling you uncle nobhead!! Most 18 year old don't give a fuck about compound interest and capital gains tax, she probably just wants to know who your favourite Melbourne Housewife is... :-)

Agree that more life skills need to be introduced to schools though, no arguments there.
 
No, I still think Religion is a load of bull shit, If there is a god up there why is he letting a load of kiddie fiddlers into his band of followers.
cant blame god mate for murderers, kiddie fiddlers etc. Its humans. We have been given that freewill. But knowing all that, any sin u commit u gotta pay for the sin. And in atheist view its u pay for it now (jail sentence) which is BS. U seen the conditions of some jails. Fed 3 times a day, its almost considered a summer camp in some camps.

Most faiths believe ur gnna feel the wrath of gods punishment in the afterlife.

But that's not why people don't have pensions or take out dodgy loans. They've tried personal finance classes in America, and it makes no difference. The thing that makes more of a difference is just being good at maths. But essentially, people don't get pensions until they're in their 30s for the same reason that people don't start eating healthily until they've had a heart attack.
 
Not the religion's fault in this instance, but just another example of someone hiding their criminality behind religion.
Totally agree. Spot on. But that is the frailties of humans. We are selfish when it comes to our own desires. And use any reason/excuse, in this case religion. But lets separate that from what god has prescribed to us. Gods laws are a guide to mankind. "Thou shallt not steal" - But whether one accepts it or not is a different story, and how one interprets it is another argument.

Didn’t god supposedly create these frail selfish humans, and all their faults. Then had the audacity to prescribe they should not to be frail and selfish.

Sick bastard he/she/it is.

Did God make you post that in txt speak? If so, someone needs to have a word.
