[kj] (OT) The Religion of Peace, Love and Understanding

[GREG SLAWSON]

Good little reply, Brendan.

ANd speaking of Religion, with a capital R, Johnny Rotten sang that song last night. He took the small size of the crowd well (saying at the start of the 

show "at least we're among friends"). Has anyone else seen the US tour? I've heard the crowds have been small (and in some cases lame) all over the US. PiL played

2 nights in Boston--I went the the 2nd, and there were fewer than 300 people there (looked bad, in a club that probably holds 1000). Good set though; lost of the early PiL stuff was played, on about 7 or 8 different instruments.

So we’ve got:
 
Religion
 
The Magna Carta
Something to do with the attitudes of the guys who wrote the Declaration of Independence 
 
Science
 
Pretty much everything useful ever invented, and didn’t cause heaps of genocide.

well, i've been rather anti-christian these last few years, very much so...altho, to me, divinity is everywhere...  

 

these last few weeks tho, i've been listening to 'the politically incorrect guide to the bible' which has opened my eyes to the fact that the christian mindset has given us many good things that society has benefited from... like the age of the magnacarta, and the attitudes of the american founding fathers who penned the declaration of independence ... i see how easy it is to slam the religious nutters, hardly a fair fight, but credit where its due, it has also had some positive effects on our unraveling culture.   (not that peace cant be achieved without the bible..)

 

there was one bit saying that those cultures that had large christian populations had more personal and political freedoms than those cultures with smaller christian based populations.. broke it down with numbers and stuff too...

 

to each their own, as long as the mind and the conscience are used...

 

 

i am very interested in the initial cause/concept of the twisted biblical story of original sin... i have my own idea's, influenced by some edgar cayce readings,  and i do think that it does refer to some actual relevant happening, but, who can know??  doesn't stop me pondering...
