Religion

[journolud]

Round and round we go

 

[Blue Mist]

Countless millions have died in the name of religion. One religion versus another. That alone should be a warning signal.

Onward christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before

So sad

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Onward christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus going on before

So sad

They’ve changed soldiers to pilgrims and the second line to Christ will be our light.

 

[Shadz69]

Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he's a fucking motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the fucking fucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he's a total fucking fucker

Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fucking fuck the motherfucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucking pope

Fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you, motherfucker
If you think that motherfucker is sacred
If you cover for another motherfucker who's a kiddie fucker
Fuck you, you're no better than the motherfucking rapist

And if you don't like the swearing that this motherfucker forced from me
And reckon it shows moral or intellectual paucity
Then fuck you, motherfucker - this is language one employs
When one is fucking cross about fuckers fucking boys

I don't give a fuck if calling the pope a motherfucker
Makes you unthinkingly brand me an unthinking apostate
This has naught to do with other fucking godly motherfuckers
I'm not interested right now in fucking scriptural debate

There are other fucking songs, and there are other fucking ways
I'll be a religious apologist on other fucking days
But the fact remains, if you protect a single kiddie fucker
Then pope or prince or plumber, you're a fucking motherfucker

You see, I don't give a fuck what any other motherfucker
Believes about Jesus and his motherfucking mother
I've no problem with the spiritual beliefs of all these fuckers
While those beliefs don't impact on the happiness of others

But if you build your church on claims of fucking moral authority
And, with threats of hell, impose it on others in society
Then you, you motherfuckers, can expect some fucking wrath
When it turn out you've been fucking us in our motherfucking asses

So fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker
If you're still a motherfucking papist
If he covered for a single motherfucker who's a kiddie fucker
Fuck the motherfucker, he's as evil as the rapist

And if you look into your motherfucking heart and tell me true
If this motherfucking stupid fucking song offended you
With its filthy fucking language and its fucking disrespect
If it made you feel angry, go ahead and write a letter

But if you find me more offensive than the fucking possibility
The pope protected priests when they were getting fucking fiddly
Then listen to me, motherfucker, this here is a fact:
You are just as morally misguided as that motherfucking
Power-hungry, self-aggrandised bigot in the stupid fucking hat.

I'm not religious but i like that hymn. We used to sing it every week at school.

I might start a favourite top 3 hymns thread : )

Round and round we go

Indeed.
‘Do this, it says so in the one true book’
‘Is it though,as it’s full of lies, contradictions, misogyny, myths and scientific absurdity, albeit with some borrowed good stories’
‘Yes, but it is the one true book’
Repeat ad infintum.

What hymn is that?

 

[East Level 2]

Onward christian soldiers

So it's not "Onward crisp tin solderers" then?

is "we love you city we do" a hymn?

 

[Blue Mist]

They’ve changed soldiers to pilgrims and the second line to Christ will be our light.

Wow they have finally got into the modern world

 

[Metal Biker]

What hymn is that?

The Pope Song - Tim Minchin



Sang it every Sunday after All things bright and beautiful

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

is "we love you city we do" a hymn?

Of course. Sang mainly in the church of The Emptyhad stadium; )

It is interesting that people speak of religion as such a great cause of war. Maybe they have a point, maybe they don’t. But I wonder how many truly know a deep peace - if not, then surely this means there is a choice for war within them? Seems like a trap. Yet maybe this could be said to be part of a ‘spiritual journey’ - if nothing else, for example, becoming aware of the conflict of the conscious and subconscious mind, so that this can be released. And that can involve bringing up fears and pain and shit that has been denied. Not always so comfortable. But if it leads to peace…and freedom - EVEN FROM RELIGION - then that would appear to be a good thing, surely? And is not just casual words within on a forum.

I find it curious how often people bring up war when anything around religion/spirituality/ divinity is mentioned (not just here). But how many actually know peace and would they change how they spoke if they actually tried to know it? Might find that denying the warring nature within - so as to see oneself as a superior being -is not the same as finding a way through to the other side of it.
Ps Don’t care for sherry but in fairness I haven’t had a mourning coffee…

I had a look in a thesaurus at antonyms for empathy and compassion. ‘Hard-heartedness’ was common to both.

Sorry to hear that, I hope the coffee is given the time and space to grieve properly.

As for the rest, eh ?
