Help Destroy God

you guys took the title way too literally ummm but great post oh and 'help destroy god'

 

Think i must have been about 7 or 8 when in school we were to have religion class, but the teacher -a wierd old lady- were very religious (and christian) so she refused to talk about any other religions than christianity. Anyways, she gave us this asignment to draw god. Fucking moronic asignment but that's not even the worst of it.
I drew a kinda cloudlike bunch of lines all over the paper to at that early age try to draw god as like more of a nature thing, like energy, since that was how I thought people meant when they talked about god and that 'god' was just the word they used for it in lack of anything better (I was a wierd kid).
She walked around in the classroom telling everyone how pretty pictures they had drawn, until she came to me and actually told me I was wrong, that that was not what god looked like!
Good thing for me I had then already long ago realised school was a big joke and had stopped listening to what those insane teachers had to say...
But, if she now were right and god were an old man with a big beard (yes, she did say that), then he must be killable!

 

you could've drawn bank note

 

i very well could have! never did what they told me to...

 

Saering I was only using the Spanish example to illustrate a point. I'm actually a very tolerant individual and would accept that we are a very diverse people. If people want to believe in something outside of the box that's certainly up to them, and I don't think they would be up against the wall because of it come the glorious day. Anarchism allows for pluralism. Again, in the Spanish example, those people who were unwilling or interested in the collectivisation of land for example, were given their own plot - enough to survive on - and left to their own devices. The notion that there should be some sort of coercion on those who believe in invisible men, tooth fairies, Jesus, Allah, Jevovah, Elvis and Santa etc is preposterous. Each to their own, but take responsability for your actions.

My main point is that if you look at any organised religion they all start off with a simple belief system. That is why I mentioned that even harbouring simple notions, vague religious ideas, faith and belief systems creates an inherent danger because if someone decides to 'spread the word'' they inevitably follow the well-trodden path of right-wing conservative religion or whacked-out cultism. Such things are really central to what is wrong with our world. Personally, looking towards ideas that emancipate ourselves from mental slavery is far more rewarding. I just think belief in gods is a sign of self-defeat.

I've had some very, very strange things happen to me but I don't automatically think of superstitions. I try to work things out logically and rationally and I find THAT process liberating.

 

This stems from the premise that God would be an absolute, immallable construct. What if God is not static but actually more of a fluid understanding, so that he adapts to the circumstances developed around him. So for instance he would first make a rock he could NOT lift, then make himself strong enough to lift it, in which case he would meet both criteria. The same could be said for the second question.
Then again, I'm not a Christian (well technically I'm a Catholic, but not practising).

 

To add a different twist to things, I've done a bit of martial arts here and there and the idea of Chi (Ki or Qi, take your pick) could very well be described as a belief with an inherent system for said belief, but in no way would it harm anyone specifically if you believed in it.
In fact the idea was explained to me and I CHOSE to believe it at the time, for the simple fact that it sounded at least semi-logical. Then I found the string theory and it seemed a lot more plausible.

 

they why didnt you just say that? How come your still defending your way of belief in religion? If you would have just summed it up like that, this constant bickering wouldnt have continued.

 

for fucks sake, i never defended religion, but i defend peoples right to do so as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. Spirituality and religion are not the same thing.

 

BUMP!!!!! just bringing this topic back from the dead for the member who started the blashpemous victimless thread...

 

no please don't christain, 'u' tend to take over the conversation, no

you believe and it ruels and many more don't and it not their lack of that create problems.

of course u have right of reply, keep it short please, no bible dismiss history rant and if its abuse it'd be nothing new but that you not 'it'.

 

why the fuck do u keep calling me 'christian?' I am not one, and i have never made any biblical references (unless i was being cute).

 

Too force people to stop believe isnt exactly the anarcho-way-of-doing-things.
So I believe in takin' control of the media, the education inside the schools and outside of them.

Im lucky cuz in sweden we don't have the "religion trouble" cuz' 46-85% of the swedes are atheists (Zuckerman, Phil (2007). Atheism: Contemporary Rates and Patterns), the agnostics rate is pretty high to I think.

 

Anxiety you said you believe in god and answer my questions.

 

I saw no question marks in your last post, therefore no questions.
Can't be bothered to look further back atm tbh

 

must be another thread haha, myth makers bemuse me

 

har har why don't u go to the blashphemy vitimless thread and talk the same shit on the person there who says he believes in god, or am i just so damn special to get your BS exclusively? (and are you that ignorant to think everyone who believes in god is a christian?) and i dont know what question you wanted me to answer. but like i said in another post, i am done responding to anything u have to say to me on this subject.

 

u haven't answered any of my questions on the subject of 'belief'. i don't think you're special but maybe you do? you've already stated you find me 'special' and the power of modness 'appears' to have gone to your head by becoming obtus, i might also have been sarcy in regards to what 'religion' you may belong or believe in, in regards to seemingly some of your background as you have mentioned and an example of where you reside, since you haven't answered any of my questions you might as well be muhammed, allah!!! i'm not annoyed but you brought it up then not prepared to even answer simple things that won't indite you(i was polite and careful about that if dierct), r u ashamed, doesn't seem so when you push a very thin veil of what you think about 'god', history has heard all the arguments before, meh to you too, 'stalemate' as u put it .

 

There have been no clear questions asked for as far as I can tell.
So claiming arrogance and obtuseness on Anxiety's part seems... wrong.
