"History is always written by the winners. When two culture clash, the loser is obliterated. And the winner writes the history books -- Books which glorfy their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, "what is history, but a fable agreed upon?"... By it's nature, history is always a one sided account."
"men go to far greater lengths to avoid what they fear than to obtain what they desire"
"But what about the rest of the world? What about those who look at the cruelty in the world and say, where is God today? Those who look at church scandals and ask, Who are these men who claim to speak the truth about Christ and yet lie to cover up the sexual abuse of children by theur own priests?"
"the piscean ideal believes that man must be told what to do by higher powers beacuse man is incapable of thinking for himself. Hence it has been time of fervent religion. "
"That is the defination of faith -- acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory, and exaggeration, from the early Egyptians through morder sunday school. Metaphors are a way to help our minds process the unprocessible. The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors."
"... My friends who are devoutChristians definitly believe that that Christ literally walked on water, literally turned water into wine, and was born of a literal virgin birth.
... Religious allergory has become part of the fabric of reality. ANd living in that reality helps millions of people cope and be better people."
Mhmm.. all these taken from the book "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown....
See, I told you there's something wrong with all these religion stuff going about. The next thing you're going to tell me that, it's from a fiction book and not entirely true. Look, i know what i'm saying. Not some ramblings from an incoherent crapper...
I wonder what the world would be like.. without religion, anyone care to share with me their views?
