The annual spending spree ensures liquidity for themajority of companies dependent on rank consumerism. Very Christian, very Sermon on the Mount.<BR/><BR/>Is that what Christianity has come to? Propping up the system which is destroying the planet? I suppose from a strict fundamentalist nutter point of view it is all contributing to the End of Days and is all part of God's plan.<BR/><BR/>But you would have to be a real nutter to go along with that. Or real christian, perhaps. Time will tell.<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, it is the duty of those who wish to see life preserved on earth, and its benefits extended to as many as possible, to prevent the spiritua;l poison that is religion from infecting any further generations of children.<BR/><BR/>The very fact that religions insist on stuffing their lies down the throats of babies as young as three only proves how unsustainable, incredible, false, ridiculous and counter-intuitive is the whole scrapheap of religious doctrine.<BR/><BR/>"give me the child and I will give you the man" - too right, because any human being with a developed sense of its own individuality would never accept this mumbo-jumbo. Religions have to work on immature or damaged or distressed minds on order to survive.<BR/><BR/>Outlaw the religious pollution of children under 10, and the entire facade would come crumblinmg down within thirty years, or two generations, whichever happens soonest.<BR/><BR/>Then we could all get on with living life rather than fearing death.biginaboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707997679359900326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6296405.post-1131989993005362782005-11-14T17:39:00.000+00:002005-11-14T17:39:00.000+00:00perhaps non-believers should not take part in any ...perhaps non-believers should not take part in any christian holidays. No easter, no christmas as it would save the rest of us a fortune buying presents for them! And how about non christian schools being made to do without the days off that these events bring!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
