Nah, if Jesus were real he would have been a Christian... everything he never said makes me think that. A communist, no.... not unless he got rid of his over-bearing father first.
Marxism has nothing to do with Stalinism... Marxism is an economic theory. We've never seen communism in this...
Hey Ya WarK... Yes, I understood that. My response was specifically in reply to " The worst offenders are those New Age types " . Reading it over again I see how it could have been a bit confusing as to what part of Lauren's reply I was replying to. I'll do a small edit on it.
They [NewAge types] think that's being open-minded.... though if your mind's that open it allows all kinds of shit in. I don't mind them saving trees, it's when they then marry them when I have a problem.
Yeah, and what if a bank robber or rapist wants to keep his balaclava on in court? This isn't a muslim country and if you live here, or you're british, then understand that your religion will at times be undermined in public or government buildings. If you don't like the rules of the system go...
I'm glad you've picked the right subject: the one that best shows up the most villainous, distasteful and cruel nature of sharia law and the one which works more against a happy family unit than any other. [Loud applause]

So there could be Christian communism but it'd have to be a highly revised form of...
Yeah, nice idea. I did think of it but didn't put it down as a criteria as I wanted it to be something people could add to without too much research or hassle. So let's encourage people to give a history/origins but make it clear that they can add to the thread regardless. Each one without...
In debates we often hear stuff like:
"And you believe mohammed actually flew to heaven on a winged horse?" or "And you're also of the opinion that the world is less than 6000 years old?"
Sure, such questions mostly always win a point or two but it is over all too quickly and these religious...
Hey tux...
The Sun is a populist tabloid newspaper in the UK. Its editorial line is on the right. it's full of sex and violence and celebrity news.... Oh, yeah, and nationalism.
I Refer the Honourable Gentleman to the reply I gave some moments ago:
You're free in the confines of the prison. Liberal in the confines of your text. Both are very restricted freedoms, and to be liberal you need liberty and there is no liberty in religion.
I've said all there is and when...
