I used to be a religious nut. But then I got into rocketry and space travel, started learning how the planets formed, and questioned if God really made all this. Then my grandfather gave me the item that would spell doom for my faith, the Bible. I took one look at the bullshit and contradictions contained in that book and renounced my religion at once.

I came to that conclusion as well.

Robert: One thing I have noticed about conservatives (whether religious, political or social) is a propensity for projection. They (not all, obviously (this is not a blanket condemnation)) are so completely unable to imagine a different viewpoint that they ascribe their viewpoint to everyone.

Conservative Congressman is taking bribes and sending government contracts to his friends, therefore liberals must be doing the same.

Conservative minister is on his fourth wife, sleeps around, embezzles from the church and blindly follows the dictates of just a few people, therefore liberals must all be unfaithful thieves who blindly and unthinkingly follow whatever a ’scientist’ says.

Lack of empathy on the part of conservatives can lead them to assume that their ‘enemies’ do things for the same reason they do things.

She called me a sheeple because I’ve read science websites and watched the Science Channel. Does that make me a sheep? I thought a sheep was a person that followed another person’s idea.

lol, I don’t understand either. I generally just ignore what my mother says about my non-religion.

> What other system of beliefs claims to believe that a person actually came back to life? <

Off the top of my head I’d say Osiris and Dionysis.

A quick google search gives us Odin, Persephone, Adonis, the phoenix, Balder.

> Is anything about Christianity (other than heresy) really original?

Well, for one, the idea that Jesus actually rose from the dead is original. What other system of beliefs claims to believe that a person actually physically came back to life? Furthermore, most Christians admit that if Jesus did not actually rise from the dead, the faith is worthless.

Craig: That’s kinda the conclusion I’m leaning towards. And happy Zombie Day.
