That is why you haven't been poisoned by magical religious nonsense.
Logic and reason are anathema to all religions; they control their loser adherents by telling them they are special if they belong to this or that religious cult. Unfortunately, no one else will tell them they are special so what's not to like for them.
Thank goodness most of the world are now shedding this infantile nonsense.
Oh! In case wintertime thinks that it was:
"The government school was successful in teaching you to think godlessly."
In my early years, although not a Catholic, I lived in a convent and was brought up by the nuns; brought up in the belly of the beast as it were.
I loved the nuns, I thought they smelled great and they all loved me. I am sure they thought I was the second coming as on my first day in the school room there - sitting next to a nun on a table smelling her purity or carbolic soap - I answered a question the older girls could not.
I was a six years old boy, loved maps and geography and could draw a map of the world at that time. The young nun was quizzing the older girls on the capitals of countries - when she asked them the capital of Madagascar, no one knew so I blurted out that it was Antananarivo.
From that moment I was golden - lol
There are those that need the comfort of religion and then there are those that just love the joy of living in the real world of sunlight, color and beauty, leaving the morbid medieval dark world view of sin, corruption and the stink of their imagined hell fires. From such a world if it really existed, except in the conditioned mind of a believer, one would really need salvation pronto.
Religion is not the poison. Pride is the poison that turns it from tool to weapon.
On the top of the main page, in bold red reads:
“Welcome to Free Republic! America’s exclusive site for God, Family, Country, Life & Liberty constitutional conservative activists!”
Yet this drivel:
“That is why you haven’t been poisoned by magical religious nonsense.
Logic and reason are anathema to all religions; they control their loser adherents by telling them they are special if they belong to this or that religious cult.”
Is this not considered trolling the boards?
