My own view is that I die, get put in a hole in the ground or fried in a crematorium. But, that's my personal take on things. If there's anything else beyond, well that's hopefully a bonus.

As I say, that's my personal take, if you disagree, have another opinion, fine!..
 
Believe what you want, argue what you want, disagree with what you want. But if you're going to be inflammatory, don't be surprised if the reaction is the same. I think that's what gets us nowhere and it serves no purpose except to polarise.
 
What's funny is a lot of the people in here have mocked sisu forever about his conspiracy theorys but if religion had never existed until now and sisu was on here now saying there was a great unseen overlord/god/bilderberg thing that has a plan for your life, punishes/pleasures you in the afterlife if you don't follow a certain set of rules in his book etc we'd all be calling him batshit crazy. Just saying.
 
First its not bollocks. I even included the Muhammed Biographer who wrote it. He slaughtered an entire jewish tribe because they insulted Islam (remind you of anything, seem familiar?). He also banished two others.

Muhammeds idea of peace was to invade, conquered, push Islam on the natives and offer incentives such as no taxes for Muslims but all other faiths are taxed.

Peioke had to pay Muslims just to enjoy the same rights. This is all detailed in the qaran, hadith and Islamic history.

They were not tolerant. Seriously, try and tax Muslims more than we pay in this country just because they are Muslims, or the Polish. Infavt let's tax everyone whonisnt a United fan like we are.

Will it go down well or will the marginised and exploited group feel hard done by?

The fact is all claims of how great Islam was and is comes from within Islam. Not outside. Same with all religion. Except budism which people mistakenly believe to be different....

Those who weren't Muslim were second class citizens under Muhammeds rule and rule for centuries afterwards. Its all there.

Someone's after a job with BBC Salford.....:bandit:
 
I go along with this. The thought of being worm food when your time comes is difficult to accept so the concepts of heaven, hell etc are comforting to some people. Who knows what awaits, if anything, on the "other side".

The older I get the more I struggle to take religion seriously. Terrible things happen to good people. Fantastic things happen to vile people. What kind of god is overseeing that?


The bastard that hasn't ever let us win the Prem. <wah>

Saying religion is pure eveil was probably wrong. The concept is evil

The concept is the complete opposite, you may well have a point on the way it has been warped by "evil men" but the concept of any religion is peace and love and a way of humanity living together and respecting each other. If people took the base of religion and acctually applied what it says instead of interpreting it into what they want, the world would be a better place. It's also daft (imo) to say we'd be better off without religion as it would just be replaced by something else and the nature of man would warp that new system to suit his needs.

Unworthy victims. Now former drone operators come out and speak about slaughter of civilians who get no tributes and minute silences. You'd think UK mainstream media would have picked up on this big story like.

The Intercept is one of the few places where actual, real journalists work.

Former Drone Operators Say They Were “Horrified” By Cruelty of Assassination Program
https://theintercept.com/2015/11/19...orrified-by-cruelty-of-assassination-program/

It's funny how we've come to Drones flying all over the world killing people without any legal process without any evidence, just cos the gov says they are bad, without even noticing!

Currently secret drone bases are being built in Africa. Cos that's what Africa needs, drones belivering remote "justice" right?

that should conclude this thread <applause>

the problem is the war and poverty. Look at any well developed nation, they don't take their religion to the nth degree.

The harder life is the more people lean on religion and if that hard life is war and conflict, then that will certainly give rise to violent religion, to violent people because violence is all they know at this point, violence and fear, followed by hate and revenge, the very things that stop humans thinking rationally.

The more prosperous a society becomes, the less they want to throw it all away with violence, our governments pretty much ensured no prosperity in the middle east for the masses

Every religion has an element of the "one true way" woven into it's scripture though, which promotes the "we're right, you're wrong" element that has caused religious conflicts since the dawn of civilisation.

The good moral guidance element, is merely just common sense and it's nothing that people need to be told, as respecting each other and living in harmony are the cornerstones of the collective structured society that humans have organically created.

Religion has caused more problems than solution. We have not seen this GOD, and we claim to love him, and hate our fellow men who we
are seeing daily.
 
Every single atom in our bodies, along with every single atom in the further reaches of the Universe, all came from the same spark.

And yet, here, on this insignificant speck of dust, that we call Earth, a chosen few purport to know the secrets of everything, from the words of men who died centuries ago, and which they use as the basis to dominate even the way we think!

As they say, ignorance is bliss! Unless, of course, your ignorance is used against you, to hold you subject to a cruel and vindictive set of rules to keep you enslaved for your entire life, in which case your life if probably quite limited and miserable.
 
First its not bollocks. I even included the Muhammed Biographer who wrote it. He slaughtered an entire jewish tribe because they insulted Islam (remind you of anything, seem familiar?). He also banished two others..

You wrote name of a biographer no evidence again talking bollocks with no proof.

Muhammeds idea of peace was to invade, conquered, push Islam on the natives and offer incentives such as no taxes for Muslims but all other faiths are taxed.

Again talking bollocks as Muslims were required to pay a percentage of tax towards the social up keeping as part of the religion and because non-Muslims were not part of the faith they had to agree to pay towards the social up keep.

Peioke had to pay Muslims just to enjoy the same rights. This is all detailed in the qaran, hadith and Islamic history..
Again please provide evidence not just your words!

They were not tolerant. Seriously, try and tax Muslims more than we pay in this country just because they are Muslims, or the Polish. Infavt let's tax everyone whonisnt a United fan like we are..
Don't trivialise things to try and make your point valid.

Will it go down well or will the marginised and exploited group feel hard done by?.
Muslims already pay tax in this country as per law so there isn't a need for a separate taxation system. See my previous answers to your rants.

The fact is all claims of how great Islam was and is comes from within Islam. Not outside. Same with all religion. Except budism which people mistakenly believe to be different....
I have provided sources and evidence from non-Muslims who do say its great, yet you constantly contradict yourself with no evidence!

Those who weren't Muslim were second class citizens under Muhammeds rule and rule for centuries afterwards. Its all there.
Really, where is the evidence for all this? you talk the talk but not walk the walk!

I am still waiting for you to show me this watered down version of Quran and where I can get one from as well as you claimed! Talk is cheap with no action or evidence!

No one claims to know everything except god, that's from all religions.
