GUEST,Paul Burke BS: Religion, which is the best one? (320* d) RE: BS: Religion, which is the best one? 02 Oct 13


The best religion is, of course, π-ety, of which religion I am Pope.

Joe: playing the good guy/ bad guy thing again, I'm afraid. Yes, you have probably had deep experiences, which you believe informs your attitude to other human beings, and you attribute to God. But that arsehole screaming at the cripple to believe and be healed, that shitbag machinegunning children for the glory of God, those black garbed women humiliating and torturing girls for the service of Mary, the holy jailers dragging tortured dissidents to the fire while the surplice- clad chanters looked on... all these would have claimed exactly the same motivation for their actions. I put it to you that your social beliefs would have been much the same had you been of any other religion or none at all, and so would theirs, and you can't tell from the evidence whether the "true" God is theirs or yours.
