A close friend of George Pell are you?

I am allowed to despise all religious teachings

They are man made fairy stories who hold far too much power...

Fair enough. Ask yourself though, do you despise Christianity for emotional or intellectual reasons?

    Thats like saying Jew bought some Pork to have for Christmas.

    Neither is plausible as its fundamentally opposite to the core beliefs held.

    A vegetarian who eats meat is simply enlightened :)

    Exactly. Have a think about that point now, I'm sure it will click at some stage.

    The same old wafer thin rhetoric which dominates dialogue yet avoids substantive discussion.

    ''retard the human race'':

    Did you know that science is a unique contribution of the Christian faith? It is the Christian world which gave birth to the experimental method of science itself because it was only the Christian worldview which viewed the world as a rational place which is open to exploration and discovery.

    ''Badly written''

    I honestly have no time today to go through supposed contradictions. But luckily for me, this guy already has:

    If I say I'm a vegetarian and then eat meat, am I actually a vegetarian?

    That's as simple as I can make it for you.

    so in the world of stuie

    a christian who commits a christian sin is no longer a christian and cannot be referred to as one

    so, there are no sinners in the christian population yet catholicism tells us they are all sinners

    nice logic stuie. i hope you didn't pay too much for the course

    Find a fanatic or two, give them some weak minded followers and add a dose of ideology .....

    You're still not getting it. Not sure if you're doing it on purpose or you really are just that thick.

    There's a difference between sinning and doing something in the name of Christianity that contradicts it's beliefs. If I'm not adhering to the beliefs of the ideology I say I'm a part of then I'm not truly a part of that ideology. It's what you do, not what you say.

    It is purely mind control on a large scale. Always has been and is getting worse. More attacks like friday will occur as will more cases of child molestation come to light.

    Religion is mind control. Science will take us to new planets

    Let us please not confuse the two

    Just so you know WYL, I don't believe in anything religious at all. Studying religion was the thing that turned me away from it in all forms.

    Sometimes it's good to actually learn a bit about things you don't subscribe to and seek to demean. I'd highly recommend it to a fair few here.

    Why would i want to spend years of my life studying something i already know to be a story about Cloud Fairies?

    Unless i understoood the amount of Power and Mind Control it had if pointed toward the right people...

    L Ron Hubbard did this superbly with Scientology...

    Evolution doesn't invalidate Christianity any more than the germ theory of disease or the Big Bang theory of Cosmic Evolution, How can anyone say, on the basis of scientific evidence that the whole scheme was not set up by a provident God to arrive at homeo sapiens on planet earht? Keep in mind, that when evolutionary biologists say that the mutations that lead to evolutionary development are random, random doesn't mean ''occurring by chance'', it means ''irrespective of their usefulness to the organism.''

    There is a reason that many famous evolutionists, like Francis Collins, are Christians.

    so, how do you determine christian beliefs?

    from the bible, from the catholics, from the presbyterians, the anglicans, the mormons, the pilgrims, the greek orthodoxes, jim bakker, jim jones etc etc etc?

    they all have their own interpretations and contradictions

    similarly for islam, you have the quran, the hadiths, the shiites, the sunnis, the sufis, the hanifa, shafi, hanibal or malik schools, the twelve-imam, zaydis or ismailis sects, etc

    again contradictions and interpretations

    there is no all agreed xxxxxxx beliefs. it's not an absolute

    both islam and christianity cover a wide spectrum of beliefs

    I'm not saying spend years doing it, and there is no religion I believe in, all I'm saying is it's always better to have some understanding of what you're demeaning, as opposed to saying "I already know it's a story of cloud dairies"... Maybe you already have done that, and that's your final outcome, and that's totally fine. I respect whatever you choose to believe or not believe, but don't think that aggressive Atheism isn't as much of a set of beliefs and mind control as any religion is.

    Stuie... when these extremists start their murderous exploits with 'Allahu akbar " are we supposed to be in any doubt as to which version of religious dogma they're invoking ?

    My previous point suggested a Jew would not indulge pork nor celebrate Christmas as thats not their belief. To do so would violate their ideals.

    An Islamic extremist going nuts is not necessarily doing the same . For they believe they are taking the Quran (or passages thereof ( to their inevitable destiny.i.e Not contradicting it...but enacting it.

    A fundamental difference I would have thought.

    Muslim leaders today have condemned the attacks, calling the people involved "devils" and "evil" and reiterating that Islam does not condone murder in any circumstance.

    Saying you are something does not make you that thing. It's not a complicated point to understand.

    You are what you do, not what you say. I could go around saying I'm the full forward of the century, doesn't mean I am does it?

    Strangely Stuie Ill agree with most of this in as much as you cant discuss something you know nothing or little about.

    Years ago I actually read the Quran.

    Came away thinking theres a lot of books in the wrong part of the Library !! :rolleyes:

    For the most part it, Quran, is just anothers viewpoint and interpretation of belief and surrendering to a religions directive. There are fanatics from many beliefs. The current lot of Sharia inspired loonies is todays winner of mentally vacant despots.

    The Terrorist Bombers were shouting "God is great" as they took concert goers out with M16's

    Is this not mind control?

    And does it matter which God is great as they are all cartoons of the mind?

    There is going to be one huge Religious war in the coming years. These spot fires are getting more prevalent.

    For what? My God is better than yours...

    Fair comments in so much as "If i want to rob a bank the best way to do it is to learn how that bank works" but don't say it is Mind Control if i vehemently disagree that Cartoon Characters created our Universe...

    stuie, if the terrorists say they are followers of islam, then they are. they believe they will be rewarded in heaven as martyrs for allah. they quote passages of holy text to justify their actions. they are even prepared to sacrifice their lives just for their beliefs.

    just because other more moderate followers of islam have a different view-point doesnt mean they can't be legitimately described as islamic-extremists or islamic-terrorists

    the term islamic-terrorists doesn't mean all followers of islam, but the extremists do live and worship among the moderates.

    i wonder if you remember the joyous dancing in the streets of the middle east when 9/11 was perpetrated. were they just extremists and not islamic?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
