GREAT FIND, DUDE! ;D
I couldn't contain my laughter! What a circus that shit is. It's a fucking shame that money doesn't help those who really need it, like educational institutions, half-way homes, hospitals...
I agree with DB....Great find dude! 8)

So occasionally the odd christian's a little over the top. Does that really prove anything though dude? I have a christian friend who lives in a real balanced, loving way and has brought up her kids real good. Her faith kinda anchors the things that are groovy in her life. I ain't religious or nothin myself - just don't think it's all bad dude. Although i did get a little freaked whan i talked to her 20 year old daughter about yoga and got frozen out by the mum because it's 'the work of the devil'. But hey, everybody has their weak points, i mean I don't like peas for example and they're supposed to be real good for you.
I'll answer you with this graphic I found that explains it better than I can:

...and you can also substitute the word "violent" with the word "stupid"!
Maybe you're right, there is a lot of crap comes out of religions. Somehow i still feel unfcomfortable when dudes on this forum kinda gang up on Christianity and what have you. Not that i have any real reason to defend religion - catholicism fucked me up - but if it's someone else's thing i just think - let em live the way they want, by the values they want to have. It impinges on other people from time to time and of course in some islamic countries stuff gets really heavy but i still think - fight the sexism and the repression and so forth rather than the religion itself. and a big thing for me is to keep an open heart towards other people even if they behave like total assholes sometimes. i mean that is the way of the dude isn't it?

EXACTLY.
When we point out the "Good" christians or muslim we are simply picking the ones who adhere LEAST to their own religion.
If your friend was truly a Christian she would be bound by the admonitions to murder her neighbor if they violate the sabbath (for instance). Amongst other stuff. And I insist on calling them on this stuff. It's THEIR book. There are tons of things like that in black and white, in the bible. But since it's religion it gets a pass. There are no moves that I'm aware of to remove anything like the support for slavery or child abuse from the bible by any of the religions that follow it.
And every week Catholic go to church where the priest holds up the bible and they all mumble nicene creed.
It's their book. It's not out of bounds to point out how completely fucked up it is.

The sexism and repression IS the religion.
It's spelled out in scripture. How can we be surprised when the results are exactly what is spelled out?
Just because there are people who DON'T follow it and live a decent life while calling themselves by a name does nothing but give cover to the true adherents.
In my personal opinion we have a majority of people who adhere and defend their religion NOT AS RELIGION but as culture. I've known lots of people who call themselves Catholic or Protestant or whatever and will defend the religion and have NEVER read the bible and know zero about the history of that religion.
But they were raised that way. Day to day their behavior has absolutely nothing to do with anything that the religion preaches. (Obviously since they don't actually know what it is that the religion preaches)
But they would insist that it does. I guess it's beamed into their brains from heaven or something.

I think you're being a little hard on the christians dude. Not all of them are fundamentalists and just because some aren't doesn't mean they haven't read their own book. I think most modern christians are mainly into the vibe of the new testament whereas most people criticising christianity point to the dodgy stuff in the old testament which plenty of christian dudes really aren't hung up about.

Nah, BD is just saying "Take a closer look at your religion, cause it's fucked up". There's no such thing as a religious moderate; they provide cover (and an excuse) for the ones who REALLY take it seriously, so they are in fact complicit in their wrongdoings.

You could say that kindergarten teaching provides cover for paedophiles, and in some cases that will be true. Does that mean you get rid of kindergarten?
Once you get rid of kindergarten all the kids will be home-educated and that's just providing fertile ground for fundamentalist indoctrination.
So you see dude your argument is really pretty confused.

Kindergarten and pedophilia do not share the same close roots in the way religious moderates and religious extremists do. You're the one that's confused for even trying that as an analogy. You'll argue with me because you don't want to acknowledge the truth of my point. And it's not just my opinion.
You need to understand that we don't just have a "thing" for Christianity (or Islam for that matter). It's any system of belief that provides safe harbour for whack jobs who believe in world domination via their religion, in addition to it being protected by society and government (think "Christian Right" in the US, or Islam in the middle east). That on top of how the less harmless whack jobs provide such great material for comedians... I'll make fun of them so long as they exist.

It is amazing that people feel that they can cherry pick what they want from religion.
The reality is that each of those religions explicitly state that is precisely not allowed. I cannot think of any example of anything that is more explicitly unforgiving of that than religion.
Christianity including the new testament does not have wiggle room about picking and choosing what you want from the bible. Jesus himself stated that it was to be followed entirely.
Just saying that you think that Jesus was a groovy guy does not make a person a Christian any more that saying that you dig Buddha's style makes a person a Buddhist.
There are rules Dude. This is not Nam.
I'm saying that from my experience a LOT of people defend their faith more because they derive identity from it than any real adherence to anything about it. It's more like rooting for a sports team. In my experience it is very common (most common for people under about 70) for people to call themselves christian and not go to church, never have read the bible and essentially have nothing to do with it other than having been taught from birth that they are of that faith. If pressed on what they believe the best that you get is some vague feel good drivel that would probably be the same thing that people would cough up about being a Dudeist or a member of the Elks Club.
Religion by it's own precepts simply is not that.
A person is a Buddhist or Christian by BEING a Buddhist or Christian meaning living according to rules.
Calling the sky purple does not make it so.
I don't have any problem with the whole 'flow of consciousness' writing style dude - but like, what are you actually saying?
Of course people can cherry pick from religions, Christianity included, people do it all the time. Just because the sign says 'keep off the grass' doesn't stop people lighting one up.

But how can someone call themselves a Christian if the church would not agree with them?
A person can cherry pick from religion but when they then claim to be a christian it's just not true unless they follow the faith. Or at least have some idea of what the faith even is.
It's not a hat that a person put on.

...they can make that determination simply by knowing what the teachings are about that faith. I'm fairly well versed in the bible, so I know for instance that if a woman is found not to be a virgin on her wedding night, she is to be stoned to death. So, Christians decide to cherry-pick and ignore such directives. That's how we know their faith is fake. Even Jesus said every rule must be followed to the "T"...

Not really dude. The bible (recipe for religion) contains a certain amount of shit. You can edit that out without ditching the whole menu of your spiritual beliefs.
This is actually what pretty much everybody other than fundamentalists do. It's complete nonsense to say that the prime directive of Christianity is to stone none virgin brides to death. Spirituality is about a vibe. That vibe when codefied becomes a religion. But between vibe and code there are always mistakes. Thankfully we have brains which allow us to tune into the vibe and tune out the shit. I'm not a Christian. I don't like Christianity but I respect the right of any Christian to follow their faith I the way in which they choose. And if they leave out the shit in an effort to get closer to the vibe, that can only be a good thing.
Who is to say what anything means to someone else? Who defines these "rules" and says "this is not 'Nam" and keeps to them? Who decides what is and what isn't? We do. For ourselves. Saying that "You are being measured by my yardstick, now explain yourself" is a stupid and pointless exercise. Yay let's disagree! I'm an elephant. There, I said it. Prove to me that I'm not. I can say what I want. Call myself what I want. There is no such thing as an absolute anything in our human fiction. It's all just wiggles with made up meaning attached. Generalizations about people are not helpful and ignore the uniqueness of each situation. Can religion be harmful? Yes, so is soda. So what? When we see something we dislike in others it often speaks to some part of ourselves we are feeling insecure about. Religions have been waning for years and will continue to do so. Be patient and don't add more negative energy to it. That only keeps the wheel turning faster. The monsters under our bed are being brought into the light. Albeit slowly. Just abide....

Like my dad always used to say, shit or get off the pot. A half-baked Christian is not a Christian. By filtering out the shit and still calling yourself a Christian/Jew/Whatever, you're then a moderate that provides convenient cover for the ones that DO take their religion whole-hog, shit and all. And it's these moderates that we all have to respect thanks to political correctness... for some reason, as soon as you have a religious label, you're afforded all manner of respect and leeway... ever notice that?
Cherry-picking is a coward's way out of full commitment.
See, what we all do is apply common sense to these various teachings and go... "I like that, that, not that, and this..." and synthesize our own personal philosophy and set of guidelines that we then live by. Therefore the bottom line - and final authority - is our OWN sense of what's right and wrong, not any of these religions. Calling oneself a Christian, and not following all of the bible's rules is nothing short of hypocrisy.

Your point being that people with orchards (religions) should be forced to eat unripe fruit (dodgy teachings). Why would anybody want to do that? Better to use your judgement to pick what you want.

Would you guys just take it easy, man?? First let me say I''m not really a religious person, that is, I don't belong to a certain faith, but I do believe there's more out there beyond our little world. If someone calls themselves whatever and don't follow all the "rules", but are still loving toward fellow man, then fuck it, at least they're using it to get through their lives as "good people". That can't be a bad thing. It's all about abiding, man.

If they call themselves a Nazi and insist that Nazi's are about loving your neighbor.....?
Or the Klan?
The point is that calling yourself the member of an organization who's dogma clearly supports things like child abuse and bigotry and then saying that YOUR version is about love is counter productive.
...not just counter productive - it's outright mis-representation. And Judd Dude: I do take it easy; I just call a spade a spade... of course everything is like, my opinion man.
The claims of being all about "Love" we get from religion sound like this....

QuoteIf your friend was truly a Christian she would be bound by the admonitions to murder her neighbor if they violate the sabbath (for instance).
Paul the Apostle said Christians do not need to obey all Jewish rules, because they are the followers of Jesus, not of the Judaic tradition. But we still should not eat black pudding or anything with blood ;) That was one of the few things he left. Wonder how many Christians remember this part.
