True, except if you're happy to join Sea Org, their clergy. Then you don't need to pay for courses, books etc. One big difference between religions and the cult of Scientology is that if you want to leave the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish etc. church, you're free to do so. Leaving the Church of Scientology is a different matter. Especially for a member of Sea Org. They'll bully you, separate you from your relatives, tell lies about you to your neighbours, send PIs after you. It doesn't stop. It would be bad for his career if people knew John Travolta's ***, but it's not bad for his career that he's a member of this cult. Weird. |

People may bitch about religion but the alternative would be to live like animals in a savage wilderness. It is a great and wonderful gift that we have received. Believing in something bigger than ourselves is taught. It's a product of Homo sapiens' storytelling culture.

According to a few here, I have no brains, can't cook, think McDonald's is "fine dining," and I actually know nothing about anything. No worries here, I suppose. |

Even > if there is a God, death might just be like snuffing out a candle. I dated a JW once and we debated the religious thing. She told me, Gary, you're such a nice guy, I can't believe you wouldn't want to live forever. They don't believe in Hell, you just cease to exist if you aren't a JW. I told her just that. If I don't live forever, I'll just cease to exist and I won't even realize that I'm not living forever. No worries. |

It is a great gift and part of what makes us human. Don't disdain the gift. Our ability to see patterns is a gift from evolution. The ones who couldn't see patterns (everything from the turn of the seasons to the tiger in the brush) died early. Cindy Hamilton |

Without DNA, most life on this planet would be low-order plant life - if even that. The ability to ponder our place in the universe is not really important for the survival of a species. The vast majority of life on Earth give no thought to their mortality or to their future. Most animals have not considered religion nor have they rejected it. It is something not conceivable to them. Religion is the providence known only to man. Bitching about religion is like complaining that we're human. People think that religion is the cause of all our problems but if you want something truly terrifying, consider a Godless universe. I wonder if you can... |

Nihism includes the idea that life is meaningless/valueless, so you are either using the word incorrectly, or you're stupid, or both. |

I prefer to use words that I understand. Life goes much smoother that way. I might be stupid but I'm not using the word incorrectly. OTOH, in my book "stupid" is an improvement over "****ing moron" so it looks like your opinion of me has brightened up considerably. Aloha! |
