Quill, that's exactly what I thought. Ian, I don't see how this is a good thing.

3. Jesus ad angers church groups

It's ironic in a way, as 'tacky' and 'offensive' are two words perfectly suited to a description of Christianity.

How on earth has RD managed to get so many votes?

He has received more votes than the bishop of carlisle for goodness sakes!

I'm not quite sure why but I found this a little unsettling. I think it's the way it's worded, but it is just pure ammunition for those who think that there are no morals without religion.

Personally I respectfully disagree with RD on this one. I think sexual jealousy is natural and usually an indication of how you feel about a person. I think it's stranger to not be jealous - I don't see that as rising above nature, I just see it as being a little cold.

Quotes of Note:

"There are, however, exceptions to this reliance on feelings as evidence of truth: if, for instance, your feelings lead to disbelief instead of belief, they're apt to be dismissed as some form of denial. This is not a common problem. Usually intellectualism, not "feeling reality," is blamed for disbelief. But, some angel experts suggest, there may be emotional as well as intellectual barriers to belief: unwillingness to believe in angels can reflect low self-esteem."

Wendy Kaminer

"I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world."

Bertrand Russell

"Pointing to another world will never stop vice among us; shedding light over this world can alone help us."

Walt Whitman

"It is the inevitable effect of religion on public policy that makes it a matter of public concern. Advocates of religiosity extol the virtues or moral habits that religion is supposed to instill in us. But we should be equally concerned with the intellectual habits it discourages.
"

Wendy Kaminer

"(Religion) With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion"

Steven Weinberg
