Does anyone remember those great "meaning of life, religion & aliens" debates in the local park over copious amounts of goon & weed in their teens?

This stuff may have been responsible for a few alien sightings...

Except for all the people who do bad because they are religious, and we know that because they say that they did it because they're religious?

And yet the vast, vast majority of religious people are regular people, peacefully going about their lives doing good.

Just because assholes use religion to justify their bullshit doesn't make the religion the problem. The arseh*le is the problem.

ftr I am not religious at all and I was raised with no mention of religion in my house

Zakk Wylde's was Southern Comfort... Holy moly I cant even smell the stuff these days.

Just because assholes are against something, it doesn't mean everyone that is is an arseh*le, and it doesn't mean that they're 100% wrong.

My first drunken experience was Carlsberg Sort Guld.

Agreed. But you cannot extrapolate from that that religion is harmless.

Chicken and egg, assholes created religion too, remember.

Strongbow Draught. Like, a lot of it.

 

[Lagooner]

Well that's religion out of the way.

Now politics. All of you Liberal party stooges are elitist pigs and you're probably racists as well!

 

[Dylan8]

passion pop was my weapon of choice when I was 14, then never again. was what, 6 bucks?

 

[Portia]

Voting for the Liberal Party is what you do when you no longer believe there is anything in the world worth caring about except yourself.

It's not chicken and egg at all.

Religion doesn't make a good person an arseh*le. If it did, assholes wouldn't be in the tiny minority in all religions.

People will read their book and interpret it to fit their worldview. Always have and always will.

Or be told how to interpret it.

I have direct personal experience that it can and does. Also, it obviously can and does.

If it did, assholes wouldn't be in the tiny minority in all religions.

That doesn't follow at all.

Kinda makes it sound all a bit pointless, doesn't it?

Isn't that a rocky outcrop somewhere in Ireland?

The first time drinking got the better of me was after a Beam/Black Sambuca double act. I'd also just consumed the lion's share of a pepperoni pizza, which must've been well done because I remember the pepperoni being very sharp on the way back up.

To this day I give licorice a wide berth.

Dude !

Ran inside after an epic "chasey" session during school holidays and Dad had a glass of Port on his bar whilst listening to music. Only it wasn't a normal Port glass.... It was a rather large glass that you'd normally have soft drink in.

I ran inside and skulled the whole thing thinking it was coke.

I would've been 10. Oh boy.

 

[Trewth]

Cheap bourbon. The smell still makes me sick.

I really lacked positive role models in my teens.

There is a story in my bible about a chinese girl who met and fell in love with a japanese boy. Both their families were against it for cultural and religious reasons. They had nothing to fear for either of those reasons though, the girl and boy were pure evil by birth despite their affluent and well protected lives. They were like an asian mickey and mallory. They went crazy killing people and creating mayhem wherever they went. Not in the name of religion but in the name of non religion. In fact in this story Mallory had a baby and much to Mickeys shock it was black.

Just proves two wongs don't make a white.





I first got drunk as a two year old with croup and an irresponsible tired babysitting father with a bottle of whiskey.

I still drink it.
