My religion says everyone should give me money.
Judaism?

in all australian states, the respective crimes act makes it illegal to wear items of clothing with explicitly intimidating or defamatory text on them.
get government out of my wardrobe decisions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What? Never been pulled up for any of my t-shirts.

because buddhism isn't the basis of the oppressive thai monarchy, or the atrocious tyranny of the buddhist (lama) regime in pre-1950 tibet, and there have never been buddhist terrorists (oh wait aum shinrikyo, death squads in thailand)
why do people always wank over buddhism?
Because Buddhism's basic beliefs aren't horrible.
There are extremists in every religion/belief system.

Trust me, i do.




Scares the fuck out of me.

Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

I hate religion in general I think it was just used pre science to explan concepts that people had no answer for e.g. why the sun sets and rises, and i also think that religion has no place in contemparay society.
then why is the focus of Christianity on the doctrine of salvation, rather than just purely affirming God's doing everything (which is supposedly the focus of religion)

Because people are afraid of what will happen to them when they die, by telling people to repent to god and he will grant salvation is encoraging people to maintain their christian faith and give comfort for those at the end of their lives ot those in gereal who are affraid they will go to 'hell', it also a way for the Catholic Church to maniputlate money out of people by sayiong that making donations to th church will grant them salvation.
