Ditto on that ..
and I won't say what my opinion of conceptslike 'god's word' is either.
PLEASE ..somewhere else.
Darn right there are a lot of religions..
and a lot of NON-Relegions too ! All worthy of respect.
I am so happy to know there is an organization called the Freedom From
Religion Foundation.
'Religion' has done a lot of harm to humans over the eons..I think that
is a somewhat fair statement to make.
Somewhere else please !
I'll probably watch the show actually ..
not that I really think 'bible' is good stuff.
Let's talk about Rock Climbing .the most 'pure'sport I know of. Just
your bodyand the rock ..
and the focus and discipline involved with rock climbing ...where atenth
of an inch of progress upward matters. ..
where one hangs on by the merest nothing of a nubin, using mainly
intention and balance, rather than strength ..
those skills are just incredibly useful when carefully maneuvering a
long heavy syncro transmission into place just right.
So also the study of the game of Chess.
Let's talk about that too !~ That also is super helpful in vanagon
repair as it teaches planning ahead ... a very handy thing to have in
mind when doing ssomething like swapping out a front heater core, for
example.
Or let's talk about politics, or abortion ..
Those are a little farafield even for a Fridae ..
and surely 'religion' is too.
thanx.
Tryto stay sane in an insane world.
