Is Christianity a Constructive or Destructive Force?
His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher
other. I myself believe it's an overwhelmingly destructive force, but
I'm only a monkey with common sense...
http://marquetteeducator.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/thinking-monkey1.jpg
Here are some loose arguments:
1- IT OPPOSES SCIENCE in such issues as EVOLUTION & CLIMATE CHANGE,
which in turn determine where we came from and we are headed,
2- They follow a certain command to CONQUER THE EARTH, giving little
thought to "lesser species,"
3- They fail to understand the basic principle of CAUSE & EFFECT, ie.
"my choice of transportation is part of the problem/solution,"
4- They seem to vote for the most "ALPHA MALE LEADERS," ready to
launch one more questionable war, and then ignore the price of it,
5- They are WAITING FOR JESUS, who's coming soon to get them out of
this Hell and leave the rest behind.
I'm getting on my Beach Cruiser now to think about these and other
issues that slow down progress. By the way, riding on sidewalks is not
the answer.

I mean the American sects for the most part. They are the most
influential and powerful, ie. Republican Party members.

Absolutely not true of many Christians I know, and also very true of
many non-christians.

Not necessarily true. MANY Christians are non-viollent and totally
opposed to war and violence of any kind.

And he has also forgotten about all the historic peace churches and
the anabaptists (that is NOT baptists) which have been a positive
influence for peace, respect, and social issues around the world - in
North, Central, and south America, Africa, Asia, and just about
anywhere they are found.
Wherever relief efforts are required (think Haiti, Japan, Indonesia,
New Orleans, etc) you will find MCC and/or MDS involved in a positive
and effective way.

Republican party member does not equal Christian, and Christian does
not equal Republican.

About the new 60 churches in Italy (promised by pervert Berlusconi),
down here they are "doing business" in the best parts of town.
Life can be beautiful in those areas, but may stink in nearby areas.

Nope. It can be constructive in primitive societys where there is no
other way to proscribe some activity and encourage other activity.

Isn't that an act of discrimination? Monkeys are the most intelligent
species out there, only that they are dumb when they act like MONKEY
SEE MONKEY DO and organize to worship some "supreme being" they
haven't seen.

It seems the Catholics admit both, but they offer no solution about
it. Their churches' parking lots are still full of cars.

Oh no, NONCHRISTIANS must admit that shit they put out stays in the
system and that this humble planet can't handle the heat from 7,000
million wasteful monkeys. Christians would probably disagree with the
last statement, though they seem to be #1.

True, but they are mostly irrelevant in politics. The monkey troop is
run by alpha males and their followers.

I'm pretty sure they know we are teasing the dumb monkeys to do moral
actions. Nothing against them.

Good, I usually spare my words against followers of Jesus that really
follow Jesus. I even admire Gandhi, even though he was not a
Christian.

Yes, sometimes the public imagination outside of the troop runs as
fast as the bad reputation:
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians
are so unlike your Christ.”
But I'm sure Gandhi was generalizing. ;)

True, his faith should be a private matter when he chooses to say: NO
COMMENT.
But I was also referring to a broader aspect of "drawbacks of
democracy," ie. people don't want to hear the truth, and rather go
"light" on substance. Case in point:
PRESIDENT: "Do you all want the war in Iraq?"
CROWD: "Yes, yes, we want war!"
PRESIDENT: "But it'll take sending your sons and paying for it."
CROWD: They quietly leave the President alone.

That speech never came, and the was the problem. THE COSTS OF THE WAR
WERE HIDDEN FROM THE VOTERS.
What did they do instead? Right, borrow. But the voters still don't
want to hear about it and now want to crucify Obama over waste!
The Christians are funny people, I'm telling you..

That's the only hope we got. The warning above about Global Warming is
the truth and yet you Christians choose to ignore it. Satire is like a
whip to expose the lion for all to see. Yes, organized religion is yet
another lion.
We can name a few different lions:
1- Corporations (Big Oil, Junk Food Industry, Medical Industry)
2- Political (it's all about money and reelection, baby)
3- Religion (the charity industry plus the role it plays in "Family
Values" and other political bullshit)
I think that's too deep for your prehistoric brain, right?
moronsbegone
of the human mind invented by control freaks for kings to
control peasents and collect taxes from bogus laws and
dehumanizing jail cell populous recrutment.
Oh ya it FEEDS the homophobia of the uneducated insecure
machoist as well. Thank GOD I'm a Christian now I can hate
FAGS!!!
