" ...Religious beliefs are cultural… "

Yep !    (Mostly)

Grade School, Mass   EVERY   MORNING,   HAD  TO  GO !
High School,  (Catholic Boarding School)
MASS,   Every  Morning.
Did  NOT, have to go, (but if you did, or not), it WAS  kept track of!

Every week, was a,  ‘retreat’,
You did NOT  talk, you just  Listened, and, ‘prayed’.
It was,  ‘Volunteer’,  (each week)

Each, 6-8 Weeks,
  (Those who were recorded as,  NOT,  attending Mass,   Every DAY)
Were,  REQUIRED, to do a,  ‘Retreat’.

(As everyone remembers, in H.S., their were  groups of students,
which had subsets of groups, which had subsets of groups, etc.)
And  probably more in a  environment, where they were all living together,  24/7.
Needless to say, the,  ‘Forced’  group, of students,
to the, forced,  ‘retreat’, were all mostly the same, in their ideas.

Two of the BEST,  comments (during retreat, when a  student was allowed to talk)

“ Father,  why, are only  Catholics, going to Heaven when they die.
Are all Protestants,  Methodists, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, etc.,
going to HELL,  because they are Not,  Catholic?”

Answer was  basally:   ’Sit Down and Shut Up”

Another question was posed, when the, ‘Father’, was stating how,
“EVERY  CATHOLIC, should  GIVE, 10%  of their  Earnings  to the,  Catholic  Church.
Because ALL   Catholics, need to  Sacrifice, for the  Catholic  Religion.”

And the question was:
“Father, why do you drive a  new  Lincoln  Continental,
to do your  retreats, why do you not drive a  VW  Beetle?”

Again, Answer was  basally:   ’Sit Down and Shut Up”

So their is the base of, ‘learning’, how things go.
Religions,   ANY,   No  Problem.

BIG   PROBLEM,
With the ONE,  which says:
I  KILL  YOU, if you do not believe.
 I  KILL  YOU,  if you believe differently.
  I KILL,  ALL,  people that have different sexual preferences.
   I  KILL  ALL,  Women, who does not  do   EXACTLY  as  I   SAY.

Gee,  there was a a  TROLL,  who said,  Basically,
 “… as long as that  religion does no  harm…”

Interesting, some people here,  
WANT,  the,   “I  KILL YOU ….” ’S
Living Next  Door to them.

Why ???????
Is it because, Chicken Noodle  News,  said so. ?
Is it because, it is just the opposite. ?
Is it because they can not, SEE, what is  happening.  ?
Which is it ??   Don’t Know.

DO  KNOW,
The, “I  KILL  YOU’s”,
will NOT,  be living  next to me.

50+ people get gassed and photos of their grotesque dead bodies flood the internet, nightly news and even UN ambassador held them up for everyone to see. "We gotta do something"  is the response. Pictures of the bodies riped to pieces by Islamic Terrorist running over people with a truck are censored, too graphic. Church in Egypt attacked this morning, 26 more victims of the relgion of peace but again, too graphic.

Politically correct snowflakes afraid a little reality might wake up that frog that's slowly getting boiled.

There are principles & beliefs in various parts of society which I find unacceptable.  I am comfortable with that fact and make no apologies.  I have always maintained it is imperative remain objective.  Primarily, I do not believe in altruism or collectivism in any capacity.

The primary issue is the left prides itself on being tolerant as long as those beliefs do not differ from their opinions.  I cannot comprehend why the left preaches we must be accepting of everyone; however, yet people who believe in Christianity are intolerable.  

Best regards,

Remember, the same intelligence agencies created the lies they spread through the media in order to gin up outrage at the Enemy in Nam and Iraq.
We don't really know WHO did it. We also don't know what exactly was used.

IF that was a True State Sponsored event WHY weren't the rescuers dressed in hazmat gear?

gospel:
the written or teaching of a religious leader

ALL RELIGONS HAVE BEEN BASTARDIZED
by man in one form or another to exert control over the masses

1 example
Christ was born in the spring not the winter
why did "the church" BASTARDIZE the date?

Absolutely organized religion is often a racket....
And man since the beginning started putting his spin on it to empower themselves.
But that is man, not Jesus.
Fact is he lost his cool with religious leaders, but not tax collectors, go figger
