Some of us, when we reach a certain age, begin to question the indoctrination foisted upon us by parents and/or by the community we live in. I was lucky in that regard, because my parents resisted indoctrination of their children and always taught me to question what I was told. I also had the advantage of living away from home during my college years. I questioned everything, and still do. I don't, for example, consider "Leave it to Beaver" an accurate depiction of suburban life in the 1950s.

 

I agree. Christianity has forced itself on society at large every since their reach increased with radio and TV. And there is no biblical justification for doing it!! What Christianity and the world at large doesn't' know or won't accept is that the bible is for the "BELIEVER" or those who seek to know about God. Not to be force down the throat of every human being in the name of"Spreading the word.
I use it as my code of conduct. I aspire to meet it's high standard, but I do so for my own personal reasons ,not to feel better than anyone else.

Any way Ten guy doesn't want to read any more of it and I said I would quit ,so I'll quit.

 

Amen, brother.

 

Ah the beaver:excited:
You know what the dirtiest thing ever said on that show was????

Those who considered those shows reality are the ones who flocked to the stores to buy the products advertised thereon. Gullibility is not wanting in the viewing public.

 

My awakening come when I joined the Army.
Not even believing the basic of evolution I got in school I abandoned all major doctrines for a freelance anything goes life style for a bit over 30 years. I was for the lack of a better word , a hedonist.

 

No shortage of gullibility today either

 

Gullible is the human races middle name.

 

You do yourself an injustice.

Yes, your statement was about men, but not all men, just the 95% of men who can be led about by their cock. Not all women can identify the other 5%, if you understand what I mean.

In my humble opinion. DO NOT WORRY about other people's morality.

Yes you may want to help them, yes you may want to save people, or you notice humanity all over the world, and in america is becoming negative and degrading...

BUT FREE WILL, you cant force someone to be positive and understanding. They have to either accept it or learn it on their own; or just completely fail.

Besides live you're life and be happy. Don't worry about others. You are not going to get bad luck or punished for abondaning others ; they choose to do what they do, in a Free will sake.

So yea. Don't worry about it, be happy =)

TIP : If you get angry and negative at people who are also negative, you both grow STRONGER. Ignore negative people, and you will see their powers drained. Cant beat ugly negative people with ugly negative, and cant solve violence with violence. So steer clear the tide.

 

That is a very nice attitude toward life, however unrealistic.
No we cannot as individuals control morality as a whole
But I know it is my responsibility to both prepare my off spring for the world and try to make the world a better place for them.

 

You are very right. It is unfortante however,

That the more negative humanity gets, the more life makes us pay, harsh too.

Floods, hurricanes, disease, hunger and starvation are only the beginning.

So too, wars, and financial failure could be a sign that something (god? buddha? mother nature? Master Yoda and the force? shiva? )

Something wants us to come togather as a single human race and solve our personal Negative problems. I understand you care for your children.

In my opinion, if i had children (i'm very young and naive so bare with me i may be wrong) I would try to teach my kids compassion, and explain how this world suffers because we tend to not always be loving and thankful to each other, as a human race.

I would tell my kids to be happy, and don't try to force chance on people, let it come naturally, since everyone has free will.

AND YES my children have free will. I could give them advice, they might do something crazy, but when they come back to me, in pain, or with a broken heart, i would be ready to catch them, loving unconditional, and not judge them or told them i said so. But again, that too is my opinion.

Good discussion we all are having

 

One thing I have learned is that is a subject better not approached in this forum.

No doubt you will make a great parent someday.

And there is nothing that this wold needs more these days than good parents.

 

What better place to bring it up ....

 

The aim I believe of MOST religions ....:rose:

 

My opinion is the world is run not by religion, and not by politics....but the world is run by FEAR.

FEAR is what kills the human race. Fear is what causing a large number of problems.

Morality is based on the fact that you have to be good.

But the truth is good and bad are not real conceptual ideas, nor is evil or good, or right or wrong.

Everyone has their own point of view and perception, and the world is run amok by fear and by points of views always clashing and disagreeing.

lets agree that life is a painting, and in such, all point of views could be considered correct xD (sorry i'm tired so i may be a little off)

That's my opinion. Goodnight everyone, keep it real.
