61  Social Discussions / Philosophy and Religion / Re: Secularism is new Religion! on: January 28, 2008, 10:16:59 PM
I am always amazed when I see some guys defending christianism and the others blindly attacking religion as they are the perfect moralists or on the plea of religion is "society's opium"!!

However none from the two teams can deny that they are under Religion Status with another aroma. Indeed securalism laws and mechanism is totally similar to former religions authority in society!

Loosely defined, ‘religion’ is nothing more than a belief system that moves its members to action or to support a cause with fervent devotion;

Take the example of Germany or France where secularism is defended like lion with his prey:

- You HAVE TO BELIEVE on Revolution principles or to be PUNISHED!
- You HAVE TO BELIEVE on holocaust or  being jailed, (exactly what the church has made against some misbelievers in the past)

-YOU HAVE TO REJECT some ex-religion laws toward perversion, homosexuality- and to be JAILED if you are polygamist (you don't follow the New Law)!!

- Don't wear ex-religion symbols, just "secular clothes" (new-religion clothes)  are allowed in public orgs!

In US, i can mention the OBLIGATION of rejecting communist principles (McCarthyism laws were maybe the perfect example, maybe similar to christian inquisition of the past)- Today the ACLU and the ADL are trying to abolish christian teachings in school about homosexuality, or christmas symbols in schools by issuing new Laws (or new testament!)

Therefore, the government is forcing people into a belief system.Even the most atheist guy like Daedalus can't disclaim that he follows a Typical Religion!.

What's Secularism? nothing, just new Religion!- Secularism is just as much of a religion in the legal sense as Islam or christianism...

Finally, I would assume that Secularism is religion, the Prophet is judicature, the God is the State!

First of all, I`d like to congratulate you on writing your post almost entirely without the use of indefinite or definite articles. Well done.

Secondly, a religion is indeed "loosely defined" in the way you described, much in the way a home is loosely defined as a method of transportation, or a goldfish is loosely defined as a material used in construction. You basically defined an impassioned belief. By your profoundly misguided definition, "liberalism" and "conservatism" and "environmentalism" are all religions - after all, they are sets of beliefs that are supported with varying degrees of fervent devotion.

And finally, aren't there some funerals you could be protesting at?

For people to comment on you, or on others? 

to comment those members they know, not just me.


anyways, you not the first to tell me about my uniqueness,,, my teachers told me so and send to class with other unique kids,,,

The fine line between "unique" and "special needs" is a line you cross when you're placed in a special class specifically because of your "uniqueness".

I just saw it and I thought it was pretty good, even when it did manage to shit all over itself in the last half-hour.

Nothin' stops my GTI. Snow and ice are simply 'fun'.

You drive a GTI? You've earned applaud just for that.

I have no idea.
Here are some hints;  Release date was 1960. More familiar musical remake in 1986. Original movie had Jack Nicholson in it. Movie was reported to have  been shot in only two days.

The Little Shop of Horrors!

This'n is easy:

It's the often common response to a situation. You ask the subject to calm down, and the civilian who feels so hyped up on their own Goddamn rights, that they can't respect the rights of anyone else. So they get tazed and it's the end of their world.

Keep in mind, there's no audio to this video so do we really have the whole story just from what's shown visually? No. Yes she was non-violent. But I've seen people literally scream at the top of their lungs, their "inherent" right to be able cause a commotion, and others be damned if they disagree. I've wanted violence against those people myself in the past. Unless the audio shows a different scenario, then this incident looks no different from the others I've witnessed. Hope it hurt.

You realize free speech is meant to include speech found unpleasant, right? You do understand the whole "rights of the individual over comfort of the public" thing, don't you?

Wow, you got fans,,, all new members,,, thats great...

Are you suggesting that only people who've posted 500+ times are capable of thinking for themselves?

If anything, post count is inversely proportionate to intelligence. I direct you to Baldar, who in IAP 1.0 had a post count in the quintuples.

You really are one sad chap.

Next time, try to remember your 2nd person singular conjugations.

Done and done.

What, for two people? Or twice?

I just wish they had a "sponsor an orgasm foundation". It's the closest I'll get to losing the ol' v-card.

Conversation with my idiot uncle in his Suburban:

"Maybe you should slow down..."
"Don't worry, it's got four-wheel drive and traction control."
"Yeah, it's also called a "Suburban" for a reason."
