Which Religion is the One True Religion?

Rex...

...the Christian mythology is laughable.

The Christian god is even more laughable.

If it makes you feel better to indulge yourself in this mythology...do it. Some people do that same thing with Santa Claus. They are called children; you folks are called sheep.

Except that I consider the latter to be a minor insult to sheep...I guess that pretty much sums it up.

Frank, you seem to be one of the very few people I know that finds the God of the Bible laughable. You are certainly not even nearly part of the majority. In fact most people find the Bible to be quite serious...

You are only laughing because you are afraid to believe... It is a protective mechanism like hiding your head in the sand...

If you hide your head in the sand maybe no one will see you...

Why is giving a mother access to medical information , such as an ultrasound, "emotional stuff" ?

The ultrasound stuff is emotional stuff...and it does make the decision harder. It never stops the decision from being made. Either the woman has an abortion or does not. And that, after all, is what the decision is.

Why is that so difficult for you to understand?

Did you have any "emotional stuff" like Xrays etc done before your cancer surgery, Frank? Isn't that just sound medicine? If the Xrays had revealed that operating on the cancer, if successful or not, would leave you blind and deaf, isn't that something you should know?

If a sonogram shows a mother what her unborn really is like, isn't it sound medicine to give her that information before she irreversibly ends the unborn's very existence?

Why are you so afraid she will find out what's really going on? Why should she not be informed as to the unborn's heartbeat, brain function, movements, etc ? What are you afraid of?

At one time "the majority" thought there were gods on Mt. Olympus. Were the folks who where "not in the majority"...and who averred that there were no gods there...wrong because of that?

C'mon, Rex. You can do better than that.

This makes no sense, Rex. What would I be afraid of?

You poor boobs are afraid of your silly god.

And you think buying into this absurd fairytale...and pretending that this murderous, barbaric god is actually kind and loving is NOT HIDING YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND?

Wake up!

From the standpoint of wisdom, maya (the illusion of the world) is unreal; in the vision of the enlightened saint, maya is absent. This is indeed an intriguing phenomenon. To the Wise (realized soul), who has crossed the shores of ephemeral existence, it is non-existent; to those relying on reason, it is inexplicable; to the ordinary man, it is a fact. The shadow you cast is reduced bit by bit with every step that you take towards the sun, until the sun shines right on the top of you and the shadow crawls under your feet and disappears. Similarly, maya becomes less and less effective as you march towards Divine wisdom (realization). When you are firmly established in wisdom, maya falls at your feet and becomes powerless to deceive you further and disappears ...

Booga, booga, booga.

Bhoga in sanskrit means the "enjoyer of life" which is the opposite of a god seeker,aspirant!
relevant? isnt it....

The Christian God is not laughable. Unbelievable, perhaps, but not laughable. There is nothing funny about a God that . . . plans to wipe out all life in the end through the most horrific of acts.

Me afraid???

I am not the one pretending to love a barbaric god because of fear.

If a woman wants to have an abortion...I think she should be allowed to have one. If she wants to have a sonogram first...she should have one.

I don't think it should be a requirement...and I don't think she should be subject to the ravings of a bunch of religious nuts.
That's all I'm saying.

Frank... Frank... you should have ignored SA's pseudo-psycho babble like I learnt to do a long time ago.

Now look what you've done...You've gone and confused Monsieur Aleksandar.

In the interest of informed consent and truth in advertising, I'm really surprised that you side with the corporations on this Frank. Selling this service to women under false pretenses and hiding the true result of their services to make a buck is a very bad thing.

But I guess that you've got your own vested emotional interest that has got you defending this.

So you should know about emotional stuff. I just don't think medical information qualifies as emotional.

But you don't seem to be able to give a reason for saying so, other than continually asserting that it is.

real life will argue his position until hell freezes over. They assume they know better than the woman (who they have never met or cared about) who makes the decision to abort their embryo. That's the logic of fundamentalist christians; they lose all sense of perspective and common sense.

I dont know which religion is the one true religion

Perhaps we should start by eliminating all the religions which are clearly not the one true religion, and reduce the list to a final winner.

ANYONE ELSE THING THE god OF THE BIBLE IS LAUGHABLE? Anyone else think the mythology is laughable?

mesquite, That's only 957 laughables in the bible. How many are How many are sad/depressing? LOL
