Thread Name: BS: The Quakers
Subject: RE: BS: The Quakers
My Mum and dad were Quakers. They didn't approve of Towards a Quaker View of Sex.

I went to Quaker school for a while. before long being there, I really hated Quakerism.

Its only effect was to leave me with a dread of silence. Having listened to a lot of peoples' spititual musing, i think most people are better off being materialistic and noisy.

I think spirituality is a great deal of tripe. If you need it, fair enough....buts its a bit like fags and alcohol - you're better off without it.

Musing upon existence and mysticism is a really bad idea. Just be nice to other people, as best you can. You only get one go at life, as far as we know, and being nice is proven to be better than being like Hitler.
