"Thus I came--despite the fact that I was the son of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents--to a deep religiosity, which, however, found an abrupt ending at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true."
And Einstein is always right.
He was, like, a Genius.
Except the speed of light may not be a constant. But we can't blame him for that.
I've stopped smoking weed..
Q: What is a gentleman?A: A man who can play the accordion, but doesn\'t.
This is a just a question and not having a go at anyone but does it say in the Bible not to smoke weed ?Some religions it's sweet to smoke weed ie ( Rastafarian ) and was just wandering as I know a few rastafarians and the are religous to the max but smoke a shitload of weed .
No it doesn't say that. Just like it doesn't say not to smoke cigarrettes, do drugs, or drink. But they are all extremely bad for you. Which was my point.
I love these sweeping statements with not much truth to them - A glass of red wine a day is good for you - science has come up with lots of drugs which save thousands of lives and i will take a paracetamol or aspirin quite often and have not seen any negative side effects
well the church encourages wine drinking, many years before scientists & doctors said it wasn't a bad thing. also the term 'doing drugs' doesn't really relate to paracetamol/aspirin unless your an 8 year old. Also breathing in asbestos dust wouldn't have you experiencing any negative side affects for 30 odd years. so your observations aren't all that relavent. science has also come up with cocaine & heroine which has ruined many thousands of lives. that A bomb was pretty scientific too. I don't think the science saves lives angle is all that shit hot.
Exactly, I think if one thing is also clear, science has done as much harm as good. Similarly, things that have been done in the name of God have also done as much harm as good. For every person who sponsors a child through World Vision or donates time to other religious charities, theres a person who will kill in the name of "God".
Science has not done as much harm as good - Science has give man tools that he has used to do harm, - Also when you sponsor a child through world vision are you doing good? I thought world vision robbed these children of their culture - a we will give you food if you take this bible type program
heroin was developed with the best of intentions - A less addicitive morphine that turn out to be a lot more addicitive - But the major harm isn't through the use of the drug, it is through the illegal status of the drug
also dont some of your cults teach that "paracetemol is bad for you and anti-God" - Dont some christians believe that anything except praying for your health is against gods will?And before you start with the "you are a fucken idiot, think first" bullshit, I was just saying that your statement was meaningless - Just moralistic bullshit - If you had said being an alcoholic junkie smoking 50 cigarettes is bad for you i would agree (also doesn't your religion teach turn the other cheek and live and let live? instead of an attack on my "mental capacity") but if your point was they are bad in excess then everything is bad in excess- including blindly following the bible
Not at all, to the best of my knowledge. Regardless, the intention of the person who sponsors a child is the point I was trying to make, not the charity itself. You're just being a picky little bastard who has no intentions of taking this discussion seriously, instead throwing up picky little excuse after picky little excuse to have a quick, smartass go at religion.No offence, but that is utter f*cking bullshit. HEROIN IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU! You cannot deny this fact, or try to blame it on something else, because people are taking it for pleasure, not to sooth pain.Again: think first, then type.
Taking drugs isn't bad - being a junkie is - Many Artists have created great works of art that would not be a round if not for recreational drugs, so Heroin has had a positive impact on my life
science doesn't do harm but has developed tools that people have used to do harm
You've thus far contributed nothing of any use to this discussion, except for a few well-worn generalisations about religion, that come to nothing. Nothing. You should think about actually trying to do something of use..
