Primitive people..
I think that sort of religiousness is losing its grasp on today's society anyway. Less and less people are believing it, and pretty soon, it'll be looked at as something from the past.

I read in Time magazine that the percentage of churches going bankrupt is at an all-time high..
Preachers now know how to polarize their congregations as well as ever and nothing else gets to the children. Get them young and they're not going anywhere.
... her pastor kept telling the congregation that he was a good Christian man, fighting to keep our country safe, babies alive, and gays from marrying.![]()
I bet they probably did learn this stuff, for about a half day...small areas, small school systems, as a teacher you receive alot of pressure to teach what the school board wants you to teach, so I'm told. I mean, a few days of glossed over science vs. twice weekly bombardment of bible studies? science FTL on that one.any religion that doesn't accept science is blind. also, i feel that any scientific movement without a moral compass is also blind.
i don't really think it's a problem of religion, but rather of the public education system. why these folks didn't learn this stuff in the 4th grade is beyond me.
Christianity + Big Tobacco would= world dominating forcePreachers now know how to polarize their congregations as well as ever and nothing else gets to the children. Get them young and they're not going anywhere.

My soon to be sister in law is so wrapped up in her new church life (some offshoot of the baptist church) that she was actually bold enough to tell her parents that they are heathens and that they are going to burn because they are not saved in the eyes of her church. These are some of the nicest, hardest working people I've ever met, and they're church-going folk to boot. Fucking borderline cult causing problems in my soon-to-be family in laws.This is the biggest understatement of the thread. In took me three years to wake my future mother-in-law up to the absolutely abysmal job Bush is doing. Why? Because her pastor kept telling the congregation that he was a good Christian man, fighting to keep our country safe, babies alive, and gays from marrying.![]()
Anybody remember the south park where cartman becomes a Xian singer?I always thought it was so appropriate that most churches push the whole view of Pastor=Sheppard and Congregation=Sheep so hard.
It appears the horse is dead already, but... I hear about religious stupidity so often nothing is surprising anymore, but this is just shocking. Does she believe the earth is flat, too?
That is just sad.My soon to be sister in law is so wrapped up in her new church life (some offshoot of the baptist church) that she was actually bold enough to tell her parents that they are heathens and that they are going to burn because they are not saved in the eyes of her church.

I'm going home school my children when I get my mail order bride, then I'm going to brain wash them into worshipping 80's hair metal bands as deity's, and anyone with short hair and doesn't wear make up and use 10 gallons of hair spray a day are heathens, then set them loose upon the world when they're 18 and sit back and laugh.
