Be afraid of the deeply religious

[Picaro]

"Religious" people sometimes diddle children? Say it ain't so.

No, they don't; the vast majority are mainly faggots who work their way into positions in churches to get at little boys they can groom and butt rape, over 80% in the case of the faux 'priests' who were caught, and of course close to 100% re the Boy Scouts.

Yep, spot ON.

Some of them can take it a wee bit to far...Girls say they were restrained, sexually abused and deprived of food at religious boarding school

And be REALLY afraid of atheist heathens. People with no faith have no SOUL.

So, you have such a low opinion of the human species as to think that if we are not under the spell of an imaginary sky fairy , we have no internal moral compass and are opportunistic savages who prey on the weak?

Or they sit in a corner while the pool boy bangs his wife.

Therefore be afraid of the deeply religious? There is something wrong whichoo.

You think this is an isolated incident??..Hell pick up a history book, a boatload of atrocities committed 'in the name of God'.

Nothing compared to say Stalin, Pol pot, Mao who killed millions and millions in the name of atheists

Um.........I don't have a problem with Satanists unless they are trying to get rid of historical places and things or instigating arguments which are a waste of time and money. I am a souless heathen.

Pantheists have more fun!

[BasicHumanUnit]

They do tend to be crazy

Radicals, at EITHER end of the spectrum tend to be crazy.

That said I don't see any craziness in this woman....not yet.

The OP is most likely a Satanist. Their posts point towards this. If NOT a Satanist, definitely a soul-less heathen atheist. VERY sad.

Too bad.

Nope. Do right because it is right not because of an or else.

Atheists ARE soulless. NO faith to guide them. Sad.

Don't think atheists have a moral center? Know an atheist or two and they treat people with respect and know the difference between right and wrong.

This from this forum's primary poster boy for Godless moral vapidity.

Vapor locked brain? Find yourself a cat-o'-nine-tails and self-flagellate in the name of BLM, Satan and de Sade, until you feel repentant enough to think clearly again. Chinese trolls . . .

Think of the atrocities not in the name of God! Communism alone killed a hundred million people quite easily in the 20th century.

Alright. This is technically a snip. It comes from a very, very long book in comparison to the snip. So , then, obviously the snip is gonna be long, helloOoo. If anybody got a problem with it, get on the horn with the po po and we can work it out. Might technically be a naw naw to post a partial chapter of a book, but I dunno. I reject the very concept of intellectual property rights, though, so that's my defense.


Anyway...


A Principle of the Traditional American Philosophy

Principle 1. The Spiritual is Supreme

". . . all men are created . . . endowed by their Creator . . ." (Declaration of Independence)


The Principle

1. The fundamental principle underlying the traditional American philosophy is that the Spiritual is supreme--that Man is of Divine origin and his spiritual, or religious, nature is of supreme value and importance compared with things material.

Religious Nature

2. This governmental philosophy is, therefore, essentially religious in nature. It is uniquely American; no other people in all history have ever made this principle the basis of their governmental philosophy. The spiritual brotherhood of men under the common fatherhood of God is a concept which is basic to this American philosophy. It expresses the spiritual relationship of God to Man and, in the light thereof, of Man to Man. To forget these truths is a most heinous offense against the spirit of traditional America because the greatest sin is the lost consciousness of sin.

The fundamentally religious basis of this philosophy is the foundation of its moral code, which contemplates The Individual's moral duty as being created by God's Law: the Natural Law. The Individual's duty requires obedience to this Higher Law; while knowledge of this duty comes from conscience, which the religious-minded and morally-aware Individual feels duty-bound to heed. This philosophy asserts that there are moral absolutes: truths, such as those mentioned above, which are binding upon all Individuals at all times under all circumstances. This indicates some of the spiritual and moral values which are inherent in its concept of Individual Liberty-Responsibility.

An Indivisible Whole

3. The American philosophy, based upon this principle, is an indivisible whole and must be accepted or rejected as such. It cannot be treated piece-meal. Its fundamentals and its implicit meanings and obligations must be accepted together with its benefits.

The Individual's Self-respect

4. The concept of Man's spiritual nature, and the resulting concept of the supreme dignity and value of each Individual, provide the fundamental basis for each Individual's self-respect and the consequent mutual respect among Individual's. This self-respect as well as this mutual respect are the outgrowth of, and evidenced by, The Individual's maintenance of his God-given, unalienable rights. They are maintained by requiring that government and other Individuals respect them, as well as by his dedication to his own unceasing growth toward realization of his highest potential-- spiritually, morally, intellectually, in every aspect of life. This is in order that he may merit maximum respect by self and by others.

Some Things Excluded

5. This concept of Man's spiritual nature excludes any idea of intrusion by government into this Man-to-Man spiritual relationship. It excludes the anti-moral precept that the end justifies the means and the related idea that the means can be separated from the end when judging them morally. This concept therefore excludes necessarily any idea of attempting to do good by force--for instance, through coercion of Man by Government, whether or not claimed to be for his own good or for the so-called common good or general welfare.

It excludes disbelief in--even doubt as to the existence of--God as the Creator of Man: and therefore excludes all ideas, theories and schools of thought--however ethical and lofty in intentions--which reject affirmative and positive belief in God as Man's Creator.

The Truly American Concept

6. Only those ideas, programs and practices, regarding things governmental, which are consistent with the concept that "The Spiritual is supreme" can justly be claimed to be truly American traditionally. Anything and everything governmental, which is in conflict with this concept, is non-American--judged by traditional belief.

This applies particularly to that which is agnostic, or atheistic--neutral about, or hostile to, positive and affirmative belief in this concept based upon belief in God as Man's Creator. There is not room for doubt, much less disbelief, in this regard from the standpoint of the traditional American philosophy. Its indivisible nature makes this inescapably true. This pertains, of course, to the realm of ideas and not to any person; it is the conflicting idea which is classified as non-American, according to this philosophy.

America a Haven For All Religions

7. The traditional American philosophy teaches that belief in God is the fundamental link which unites the adherents of all religions in a spiritual brotherhood. This philosophy allows for no differentiation between them in this unifying conviction: ". . . all men are created . . . endowed by their Creator . . ." This philosophy is all inclusive as to believers in God. Although America was originally colonized predominantly by adherents of the Christian religion, and principally by Protestants, the Founding Fathers steadfastly conformed to this all-embracing character of the approach of the American philosophy to religion. This was expressly and affirmatively indicated in the proclamation of 1776 of the fundamental American philosophy, of its basic principles, in the Declaration of Independence. This was further indicated, negatively, in 1787-1788 by the Framers and Ratifiers of the Constitution--as a "blueprint" for the structure of the then proposed Federal government, with strictly limited powers--by not permitting it to possess any power with regard to religion.

This implied prohibition against the Federal government was reinforced by the addition of the First Amendment expressly prohibiting it, through the Congress, from making any law "respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . ."--the words "an establishment of religion" being intended to mean, specifically and only, a church or religious organization which is established, supported and preferred by the government, like the Church of England establishments then existing in some of the States.

The Conclusion

8. Belief in Man's Divine origin is the foundation of the fundamental American principle which controls his relationship to government: that Man--The Individual--is of supreme dignity and value because of his spiritual nature.

Sexual abuse has nothing to do with Religion Jackass .....

Look it how rampant it is in the Democrat Party and none of the could ever be considered religious.

 

[justinacolmena]

Once upon a time there was a bad human being......

Therefore ALL human beings are bad

If Adam sinned in the eating of the apple, and thereby came to the knowledge of good and evil, then why is it that supposedly intelligent beings, having learned, read, and professed faith in the New Testament, still demand such a punishment for that original sin as not only to mutilate the genitals of a boy at infancy but to pull the four back teeth out of his mouth when he comes of age?

There is enough blame to go all the way around, but the bottom line is that religion god does not make you good and the absence of god does not make you bad

Another example of the religious gone astray:

Nonreligious Questions

Whether you’ve been turned off by religion in the past or have a question about one of the world’s religions, check out what Patheos has to offer.

In the call, she talks about opponent Democrat Ken Mejia-Beal, who is both African American and openly gay.

“He’s just another one of those Cook County people. That’s all you’re going to vote for is the Cook County, you know another Black caucus,” she says.

“Mentioning Cook County is just a code word for Black,” said ABC7 Political Analyst Laura Washington.

Rep. Grant makes it real clear that, in her opinion, some people do not deserve to be a part of the community or to represent that community in the General Assembly. That, indeed, is appalling.
