Religion

I get what you’re saying to an extent. I think the wrestling thread is a load of pish, but I don’t post in it for that reason. The thread is a good one and covers a lot of good stuff. I have crossed crosses with Arfur many times but came to terms with his position even though I think it’s woolly and too indertimate. All over the place in a woo woo, mystical way. But, I would buy the **** a pint.

If he bought me two back obviously. I’m Scottish. I’m more in your camp but think the camp is the better for the bold Arfur being on it.

Right on it! :)

Lol, cheers. If I took away the mythology aspect of this and sky fairy stuff - would it be clearer if I said what I look for is more a joining of the two to play as one? Like two hands on a guitar - right and left - is not that they each try play something in ignorance of the other, or that they make the exact same movements but that in playing together they join to play one song. Right/left, masculine/feminine. thinking/feeling hard/soft etc In harmony, balance, rhythm, flow, as one.
 
The idea that words are more important than the rhythm with which they are uttered. More specifically - eg in some gatherings of 'religion'- the idea that someone else's words hold more value than one's own true rhythm. Yet what if there were another way? To relax into one's own rhythm and allow this truth to flow through words, written or spoken? Might these words agree with those of another? Who knows but does it really matter?

Arfur get you arse over to the Bible Belt and become a preacher. You would clean up. They scam, I mean earn millions. Either that, or go to India and become a guru. I stayed there and you would have the westerners who go to find themselves giving you all their cash and probably bodies too.

If you don’t have a beard grow one. :)

Not sure I'd be welcome in the Bible Belt to be honest...and seen enough of the western guru stuff to last a lifetime - would rather be free of both than pro or anti either. Just a matter of how...
 
Happy non-religious Xmas to all those who are non-religious folk on here. Enjoy. I have decided to start a religious cult. Its prime tenet is one of coming to remember how to
know and feel the joy of simplicity. So, if you want to play a tune that brings a smile to the face - a light to the eyes - of someone that was a stranger...then great. You want to volunteer to wash the dishes before your beloved asks you? Just because you love her? How wonderful. You want to cancel a debt that is owed to you because...well You're doing pretty well and you figure they have a pretty rough time recently? Bring it on...You want to call me a flaky, woo-woo twat? Is ok too, right? God bless you all...

Mods, If this is too much for you to handle, no worries, delete away.

I was in the pub earlier and a friend of mine hobbled up to the bar with his leg in a cast, asked for a beer and a shot but it had to be down low as his brother in law and family were there and were 'very religious' and could never handle seeing him drink alcohol. This guy is a doctor and has two children with the guy's sister, yet still fears upsetting this pious **** sat outside because he's very religious.
I personally would have taken great pleasure in sitting in front of him in a licensed restaurant and made him suck it up and realise that his shitty view of the world doesn't effect me or anyone else other than him.

There, off my chest

Just watched Storyville
www.bbc.co.uk

BBC Four - Storyville, Hillsong Church: God Goes Viral

The story of celebrity favourite and globally trending megachurch Hillsong.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

very good.

highlights:
1. young pastor & evangelical go to Israel to see Christian ‘historic’ sites and are shown to be complete arseholes.
2. The art of removing money from naive people is alive and well in religion.
3. Standard paedophile issue.
4. Very standard hypocrisy of ‘do what I say…’
5. Mega church events are very scary due to having large echos of dictatorship worship - communist, historic nazi/modern trump etc.

so… nice reenforcement of previous thoughts on religion, really.
 
Seeing as religion is currently being discussed in the US Politics thread, I thought I'd resurrect this thread (1 Corinthians 15:21).

Despite the Establishment Clause, certain US Lawmakers continue to use religious tub thumping to court votes. People like Trump courted Right wing religious extremist to do his bidding in places like Charlotte, and his virtue signalling in Lafayette Square on June 1 as he posed for a photo op holding a bible (after non-violent protestors were cleared out with batons and tear gas) outside St Johns Church was utterly deplorable.

And Joel Olsteen is still a C*NT!
