If your religion isn't self-supporting, it is a dumb religion. there are no atheists in the fox holes. Interestingly enough, england treats their royal family as God, the ceremony surrounding the queen exhibits it quite nicely. Last night I made a grilled cheese sandwich, it had the image of the virgin mary on it, at first I thought about selling it on ebay, but I was hungry and didn't want to make another one, so I ate it. besides what if the next one had an image of christ or the queen on it or something ? then I would have been completely screwed and still hungry.

RE: Religious Arguing here----> - Lady Cop - 03-28-2011 COOL! full story here: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/28/tiny-church-finds-original-king-james-bible/?hpt=C1 Hilmarton, England (CNN) - A little English village church has just made a remarkable discovery. The ornate old Bible that had been sitting in plain view on a table near the last row of pews for longer than anyone could remember is an original King James Bible - one of perhaps 200 surviving 400-year-old original editions of arguably the most important book ever printed in English. In fact, the Bible at St. Laurence Church in Hilmarton, England, was sitting right under a hand-lettered sign saying it was an original. The sign said it had been found in "the parish chest" in 1857, that the cover had been added, and that it was the second of the two impressions published in 1611 - the year of first publication. But no one knew whether to believe it, parish council member Geoff Procter said. As the anniversary of publication in 1611 approached, they decided it was worth investigating. "We had no way of knowing whether it really was a 1611 Bible so we had to get it verified somehow," he said. He and two other church members took it to a specialist, the Rev. David Smith at the Museum of the Book in London. Smith knew immediately what he was looking at, Procter said. "We put it on his table and he opened it and immediately he said, 'Yes, this is a 1611 Bible,'" Procter remembered. Smith identified it thanks to a printing error - a place in the Gospel of Matthew that should say Jesus entered the Garden of Gethsemane and spoke to his disciples instead says that Judas, who betrayed Jesus to the Romans, entered the garden. That the St. Laurence Bible had that error, but not another one in the Book of Ruth, enabled Smith to pinpoint exactly when the book had been printed, Procter explained. "We realized that this is quite an important find," he said, and last month the church quietly announced the discovery in the diocese newsletter. They hesitated before going public, Procter said. "It was one of those discoveries that we wondered if we should tell everybody or tell nobody," he said. "And we thought that as it was the 400th anniversary, we should talk about it." St. Laurence Church is far from the only one talking about the King James Bible this year - the Globe Theatre in London is planning a reading of the whole thing in the days before Easter, and a literary festival has already done one. Cambridge University has an exhibition, and the King James Bible Trust lists dozens of special events planned this year to mark the anniversary. The reason is simple, said Moira Goff of the British Library. The King James Bible is "so embedded in us that we can't overstate the significance of it," she said. It's the source of dozens of phrases and concepts that have become part of the English language - "an eye for an eye," "born again," "eat, drink and be merry," "God forbid."

This way they all drive like no matter what happens, they'll be back tomorrow anyway. You take that away from them and it would surely have disastrous effects. Total confusion and chaos no doubt. RE: Religious Arguing here----> - Lady Cop - 03-30-2011 EDIT TO ADD: THESE WERE FAKES! a most interesting find in Jordan~~ more pics at link below For scholars of faith and history, it is a treasure trove too precious for price. This ancient collection of 70 tiny books, their lead pages bound with wire, could unlock some of the secrets of the earliest days of Christianity. Academics are divided as to their authenticity but say that if verified, they could prove as pivotal as the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947.

RE: Religious Arguing here----> - Fibonacci Prima - 03-31-2011 You mean you don't enjoy the door to door soul savers? RE: Religious Arguing here----> - AriGold - 03-31-2011 I try to be really non-confrontational about religion because people are entitled to believe what they want--they're just wrong. To me, it comes down to the question of logic versus believing that the 'Lord of the Rings' actually happened. That's how far-fetched religion is. It may as well involve dragons, orcs and shit. It has no basis in reality. All too often, those who believe in religion, use it as a crutch to make themselves feel better about their position in life. Whether it's to pick themselves up after murdering somebody and ruining their life or they're on their deathbed and need to feel comfortable about what's on "the other side," it's there to fill that spot in their brain that can't comprehend something. They suddenly "find" religion... This is why religion is so prominent in prisons, drug rehab centers, and in the mind of the Vietnamese prostitute lying in my bed the morning after (I get the overnight prostitutes; that's right I'm a big spender, beeeotches) I'm not saying finding religion in these situations is bad, if it helps somebody be a better person, that's great, but what I'm saying is that people shouldn't need to be told not to be a shitty person and whether or not they believe in Allah or God or Vishnu or Zeus or whatever else -- they're still going to die and they're still going to the same nothingness that everybody goes to. Religion is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. RE: Religious Arguing here----> - Cynical Ninja - 03-31-2011 Yeah Arigold, I couldn't agree with you more. |
