Apolytonistas against Religion: who's with me?

There's nothing wrong with believing in spirits...vodka, bacardi, brandy......

Most definitely. You never have anything interesting or original to say.

Now why don't you get back to starting threads about your kid. You can't do much damage there.

I'm a believer in that respect.

At least his kid has a future, something your communist philosophy lacks.

Sez a man who teaches philosophy and believes in communism fer gods sakes!

"Original"?

"Interesting"?

Agathon, your anger makes you hilarious. Keep it up.

I can't recall Marx saying that believing in fairies was mandatory.

So, being a Jesus freak is bad and being a Marx freak is not...
Get a life!

Also, she has a charming personality AND a sense of humor, something that Agathon lacks.

I mean, look at Aggies response to LOTM in a thread of mine:

I admit, singling out the Jews was bad. We should have nailed all your religious asses.

You said it in a bad way, but your point is valid. Why should religion have any role in politics? No reason.
Why should the populace (prompted by the media) care about the religion of any candidate?

As much as I agree with the spirit in which this was posted...

Religion, in Marx's over-quoted words, is more than just the "opium of the masses." It is also the "sigh of the oppressed" and the "heart of a heartless world."

Unless and until we solve the problems of class society, religion will be around because it fills a definite, necessary roll. It is, ultimately, the product of despair and of hope against despairing.

A much better position, IMO, is to side with religion when it represents the desparate hope of the oppressed, and against it when it is used by the powers-that-be as drug to control the masses.

Of course, that makes for a less fun OT thread.

10% of Brits attend church regularly. We've practically given up on religion already. Now, if the media would stop treating relgious problmes (like the gay pressts) as if they were as imporant as a Beckham haiercut.

I myself can't see much good coming from religion.

What good has come from communism?

But I've had enough. The popularity of Mel Gibson's Jesus porn flick and the sanctimonious crap we have to put up with from clearly insane individuals (like Jerry Falwell) is too much, as is the deference shown to these lunatics by the media.

How dare people be allowed to view whatever movies they like! Clearly, we need the CPA to censor what media we view. (On a side note, to televangelists)
