Interesting post, and I'll agree for the most part. But I wouldn't limit this to just religion, any endeavor a human takes up generally ends up this way. I think it's a human thing, like NobodyYouKnow pointed out.
Because we're convinced that what we enjoy brings happiness due to ignorance of it's impermanence, when in fact, it doesn't bring real enjoyment or happiness at all.
Which is why I started off saying "so your point is what?"
Exactly, and I'm not shy about hiding it.
Really? The man who said he didn't need to read a newspaper? Most American presidents have never really cared about foreign policy, only insofar as it benefits America, and...
So your point is what? Obama is evil? No kidding, he's an American politician- news flash, they all are. So I'm not really sure what you're getting at? What's your point in all of this? For the record, I seriously doubt the US will ever have a president or a majority of congresspeople who...
For once, I partly agree with you. If someone is wealthy, and it's based off of their own blood, sweat, and tears, then I have no problem with that, or being represented by them. The question is, how many congresspeople actually got their wealth from their own hard work? My guess is not that...
I'll generally say Happy Holidays. That's what it is. I don't know who I'm talking to, if they celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah, or whatever else. It's just more polite. The only war on Christmas is the one that Christians should be waging against the capitalistic takeover of it, but that's...
Fighting should always be a last resort. Unfortunately, it is sometimes the only way to stand up for oneself. Add that to the fact that the LGBTQ community is already considered second class, or even sub-human, and you have a recipe for disaster. It took a war for African-Americans to have...
Just ranting about people being hypocrites. Most of your 2nd amendment supporters are religiously Christian, and are also against bullying. Yet, when it's done against them, or at least people they agree with, they'll be quick to call foul. This is going to be interesting to follow.
Which is why I included the example from California, an area that something like this isn't normally expected. The South, the Midwest, the Plains, nearly everywhere but the west coast and Florida, and possibly New England, this type of thinking is pretty high. I'm aware that not all Christians...
I wonder how many people who are big 2nd amendment supporters will say the person shouldn't have stood up for herself? There are those who disdain the idea that bullying should be stopped, when it's them against especially the LGBTQ community, but when they stand up and fight back, well, let's...
The last time I checked, around 76 % of the US was professing Christian. Every president has been a Christian, and it's taboo to even consider that the president could profess another belief. In states like Oklahoma and Kansas, teachers cannot teach evolution, but have to teach Christian...
