It ain't over yet dudes.....We have 49 minutes left here in UK! :(
Anyone else also feel a weird sense of dissapointment when these doomsdays predictions come and go? I mean, I'm not in any big hurry to vacate but I DO believe mother Earth deserves a long rest without any people on her, and being of the Dudeist/Buddhist/Zen mindset I try not to be overly attached to my, or any one things existance( try this being a parent, you will find yourself roundly fucked).

OK, dudes, I'm still here and kicking. Couple of beers, a few bowling vids on YouTube. Just to mark the night, I decided to watch The Big Lebowski for the umpteenth time. Still a great flick and Maude has a great body! ;D

As a Christian I can assure you that this fool is a lalse prophet and does not represnt my faith nor is of God. But according to the Bible one false prophesy makes him a false prophet. In which it entitles him to stoning in which I do not encourage due to my dudeism philosophy. That being said I wonder if I can chuck Bowling Balls instead of stones since I'm a Christian Dudeist.....

It's that damn magical thinking scripture thing again... i.e. the belief that there's absolutely not the slimmest chance the Bible is but a quasi-historical mythical construct, or that, when such a belief crops up, it is quashed without justified cause by the meme "Faith". Do Progressive Christian Democrats open up this thought with their Republican friends, TD? ::)
I know there's a group called Athiests For Jesus, ... is it within the realm of Christianity to have a more evolved group called Christians Against The Bible? Or at minimum, Christians For A Freaking Radical Revision Of At The Very Very Very Least Deuteronomy and Leviticus?

Are we still here dudes? I don't know dudes...this could all just be like an illusion. 8)
And to add to ZD's point, every religion has it's idiots and zealots who take things too far. Don't blame religion itself - blame the assholes who do the stoning, etc. I know people who aren't religious but are extremist in their own beliefs... religion just provides an easy excuse for asshole behavior...
...wait ten years from now when Muslims will be the majority everywhere and see if you'll still think the same. They stone people still today.
Just my opinion though. 8)
Actually, dude, the new correct nomenclature is imdo, in my dudely opinion. :D
As a wise man once told me a christian church is just a hospital for sinners that's why I hold my dudest church on our sailboat daily and partaque in daily sacriment so light one up folks.If you're meaning to say that we're sinners just because the christian church says we are, well, there's lots of opinions that say otherwise! Anyone else want to have a go at this one?
As for Muslims I don't know there but here, quietly and calmly they are spreading everywhere and being that they have a bigger percentage of zealots than other religions, well, that's a problem.
And given that a good muslim has the duty to help fellow muslims whatever they do it doesn't really matter the percentage.
Probably there are enlightened muslim countries around the world but in most of them if you go around wearing different religious things you get kicked, usually in the head. At least that's what I know.
Is there any muslim dude around the forum? I mean not someone who has changed his religion and later become muslim, someone born muslim who has later joined dudeism. Is there one around? Just curious. 8)
Do you go to a christian church every sunday or not ? or Do you hold your own meetings and partaque in a smoking sacriment and abide in the faith of Dudeism and forgiveness...

Um no!
Dudeism is an explanation of the way I have lived most of my life, a title I can finally give people like my family so they can stop asking what religion I am this week.
My point is not that Muslims are all bad but that there are other religions beyond the Catholic one and other mislead branches of Christianity who are as uptight and sometimes much more than Catholicism.
If Islam is not in reality as bad as it seems this certainly can be applied to almost every other religion, right? Even Catholicism and Christianity, probably not Scientology though. Imdo. ;D
As for Islam actually I haven't yet read their sacred book but from what I know in reality women are usually just a step above dogs in many Islamic countries. Men can marry women from different religions after they've joined Islam because this way they spread Islam, women cannot leave Islam for other religions. It might be that there is freedom is Islam but I can't see it. That's why it would be interesting to hear the voice of a dude from an Islamic country. It might be that the kind of islamic religion we know here is different from the one in their own country.

The IRA, well, that's another story. It wasn't a matter of religion. But let's not go into that.
I thought it was about one country having invaded another one in the past and refusing to let the industrial part go with the rest of the country when Ireland freed itself. Something like Brits vs Northern Irish with religion being just an addition and not the main reason.I've heard the same ... even religious people like Billy Graham who visited Ireland said the fighting was political, not religious. And as always, it's never *just* one or the other, likely a mix of the two. Very interesting discussion.
Having not lived there I have to rely on external sources. 8)
