richard dawkins interview

People latch onto folks who emit certainty. Whether it's the absolutist Dawkins or Billy Graham.

They're both assholes.

The hyper-criticism of religion the past decade is planned. The people who start the wars and cause the economic problems are sun worshipers. They don't believe in a Christian god. They don't believe in Islam.

They created religion as a scapegoat.

[Danzig]

altho dawkins may have his own issues, and feelings of superiority...i posted the link because i think it's a good discussion in some ways.
when one considers the amount of policy making and foreign policy decisions based upon religion-well, it's just scary imo. most conservatives don't cling to israel being an ally because they're a good ally-it's because of bible prophecy. yeah, that's rational thinking. and then when you look at domestic issues, again, that old book put together by men is what many base their 'logic' on. yeah, that's not logical at all.

You are complaining about elected officials that answer to people that lurk in the shadows and offer access to all of the boys clubs that these clowns want in.

I assure you the people that benefit the most from war exploit religion for their agenda. They use intelligent folks like Dawkins to deceive people into believing that religion is the cause of all warfare. They are gnostics.

Men and their greed and lust for power are the cause...not God. Not a book that controls their beliefs. These are tools used by men to get what they want.

They want technology. They want the ability to deplete the population drastically and not look back.

Unemployment is the new slavery.

all true. whether control of education, religion, etc, it is ultimately about power and holding it. religion isn't a cause so much as an excuse, a tool, a justification. that said, there are some who actually believe, truly believe, that they must support israel at all costs because of god and the israelis being 'the chosen people'. at any rate, one justification is no better than another.

We're in agreement on that, zig. They are just pawns imo.

Just like the judge in Texas who says there will be a 2nd civil war if _______

I don't want to type it. It's sickening.

But this is all planned. That's what troubles me. That's why I haven't had a good nights sleep in weeks.
