[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [qb] Jason, I get the feeling this all strikes you as silly. However, I hope the length and way at which I have discussed this with you shows I truly believe in what I have written, and not just in a mindless sheep way, but in a way that shows at least some elementary, rudimentary understanding of what indeed I do believe. And if you do view Catholics and Raelians (and I am not saying you do) on the same level thank you at least for discussing in a :) and a ;) manner, rather than in a :rolleyes: manner. :) [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not equating Catholics with Ralieans, no....not directly. The primal urge to be a part of a clan or group is the same though. And I DO think the added ceremony and ritual the catholic church has added to the basic faith Jesus taught is silly, yes. You make a good argument and the "soul cleansing" thing is a bit clearer now (simmlar to the Jewish faith but not exactly). It's not so much the core belief system that I have diffuclty fathoming (after all, who wouldnt want a paradise to go to after death?) but rather the blind obediance to scriptures that stem from a far less enlightened time and the feverent refusal to re-examine one's own beliefs and their origins. While I'm not calling you a sheep, I do believe the the theory "the masses are asses" : that the sense of self-rightousness that comes from millions of followers thinking alike is one of- if not the most- detremental factors in trying to eliminate strife in the world. After all, millions of Islamist fundamerntalists cant be wrong, right? ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
