Thoughts About Religion (or god's gonna be pissed at me)
Here’s just a few random thoughts about religions. I’ll do my best to irritate all religions.
Suppose Odin is the true god – I’ll bet he’s laughing his ass off over all the folks killing each other in the Middle East in the name of other gods.
Does god really care if I eat beef or pork – and if it's on a Friday?
It nice to know that so many use the bible to prove their point of view, like selling your daughter into slavery: Exodus 21:7 “If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do.”
You're born naked and you die naked. Why is there such a problem with being naked in between?
What possible difference does it make in church if a man wears a hat or a woman doesn’t?
How many poor people do you think could be fed if the pope hocked all his chalices?
For some reason people who find no problem with a holy trinity (three spirits/gods/ whatever in one) find a spirit in a tree heathen and disgusting.
If guys get to spend eternity with 40 virgins for blowing up a bus load of women and children, what do women get when they blow up a bus load of folks?
Regarding Mel’s latest (which I haven’t seen by the way). How accurate is it with Jesus being a white guy?
I don’t know if this is true, but supposedly Christ says in Luke 14:26, “I anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters … he cannot be my disciple.”
Why do wiccan spirits always have names like Rhaevyn and Laanora, but never George or Sally?
It nice to know that so many use the bible to prove their point of view, like selling your daughter into slavery: Exodus 21:7 “If a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to go free as the male slaves do.”
It’s no problem turning water into wine and walking on water, but heaven forbid you think a yogi could possibly levitate.
A big deal is made about god sacrificing his son for mankind. Wow – it was for three days out of an eternity, and he was back again. All dads are glad to get their kids out of the house for awhile.
Don’t you just love it when a child is “blessed” by being born with some hideous birth defect?
I’ll bet the Incas and Mayans love Christianity – oh wait, most of them were killed by the Christians.
How dare the Christians start the crusades to kick out the Moslems who invaded the west so the west wouldn’t invade the east, etc. etc.
A pagan healing with a crystal is just plain weird, while a priest healing with some oil and a wooden cross is fine.
Lastly, if you read of some dude being hit by lightning in Michigan tonight, there probably is a god and she isn’t too happy with me right now.
2fers: The bible says… and Wicca
