wow, missed that

google that phrase immediately flyingpig. it's important

[FlyingPig]

There you go again having a go... I do know what it means; prejudice towards Jewish.. Judaism is a Religion...You cannot help yourself but have a go....

Do you celebrate Christmas, or buy easter eggs.. I bet you do...

[FlyingPig]

Maybe it was the wrong phrase to use, and I do apologise if it has caused offence

... But I was trying to get accross your hostility towards religion....

[AdamM]

nothing wrong with a bit of christmas. a chance to focus ones attention on showing affection and appreciation for friends and family.
I just make sure religion doesn't interfere with it.

not bothered with easter but you try standing between my wife and a chocolate egg

[AndrewT]

Do you celebrate Christmas, or buy easter eggs.. I bet you do...

I'm sorry, I didn't realise that on the bottom of every Easter Egg box was a notice from Cadburys saying 'The purchase and eating of this confectionary item means you agree to recognise the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and accept him as your lord and saviour'.

Yes, I am hostile towards religion, because religion is not harmless, it is holding humanity back.

Bear in mind there is a difference between being hostile towards religion, and being hostile towards religious people. I almost feel as if I am patronising you by pointing it out, but the anti-semite comment makes me wonder.

[FlyingPig]

Religion is harmless... The people who cause trouble blame it on religion. They would fight over land or something else if it wasnt religion.

The people who kill over religion, are not nice people, the religion is harmless. They show no respect of others. Whereas we should be respectful of other people, and their views.

As for buying eggs.. It is the deeper meaning behind the eggs, and by buying the egg and giving it, you are celebrating the ressurection of christ...

I think you should at least people and their religious views, that is just common decency.

as long as you go to confession before you take the mass:)

[happybhoy]

I'd just like to say fair play to FlyingPig for playing Devil's Advocate (lolz) in the face off all us heathens. I might not respect religion but I can respect that.







But I will point out that Christmas as we celebrate it was originally a pagan festival that was Christianised by the Romans in 350 by Pope Julius I to make it more palatable to the locals to convert to Christianity

[spruce goose]

for many people their belief in a god or supreme entity provides them, at times of the the most dire of circumstances,a vestige of hope where there is seemingly none.

when all else has failed the comfort found is the only aid that is left. any life lived without hope most be the most unbearable of things. so though im an aetheist i envy people of faith.

i dont see religon as an enemy but as an ideal of how certain people choose to live.
its obvious to me that religon in the world is a force for good. i know you can point to atrocities made in its name but i think far more good is done and yet no mention is made of the lives saved thruogh religous aid organizations throughout the world.
and its understandable why not as it must be unquantifiable the good  done or for that matter the bad not done because of peoples religons.

A good point but lets be honest the aid in the huge majority of cases goes to countries that only need it because of religious infighting in the first place.
If it wasn't for the yanks i reckon every war that has ever been has religion at it's centre.

Get the Tesco ones, advisory on the back: "Caution: This egg may contain Jesus."
