Go create your own thread in your own forum trob. I'll post here if I like. Fuck you.
So much for democracy and progress. That's the second time you have tried to silence me for my views. You're a hypocrite. |

Oh dear! I exposed one of my favorite threads to the pot virus. Guess I've only got myself to blame. Hey denis, help me out here, will you?

Any mods online care to help trobrianders eliminate any posters he deems unworthy of comment from his thread?
Seriously though, I have little interest in getting into a debate with a closed minded twerp like you, so don't worry your little mind. Just ignore the bits where I post in response to other folk, unless everyone else now hates me as well.

I find Hitchens' approach, while it had great parts, to be a little self-defeating to his own purpose, this kind of sensationalistic tone (religion born of terror etc.) would only alienate the many people who toy with religions (or mix and match from them) for the beautiful aspects they might contain. And it is these people Hitchens should be interested in reaching, it sure as hell isn't the guy with eyes rolled back in forehead saying you need to read the Bible because humans need an instruction manual just as a VCR does. (There's nothing you can do with religious zealots except give them as wide a berth as possible.) But Hitchens is Hitchens, and though he's funny when giving poor old Kissinger a good kicking, he's the kind of thinker where he has a hammer and everything looks like a nail.
About the Victorian brush, I didn't just have the aethyr in mind when I wrote that, but you can find the same views further afield too. I recommend Fritjof Capra's "The Tao of Physics", about the parallels between quantum physics and Oriental mysticism.
Capra's books are a good read, very inspiring. Religion is not all about oppression and mass delusion, behind the theology there are some very interesting points to consider and if you are open minded and take a holistic view on it all and incorporate some science into the equation it can all be very interesting. The term 'ayurveda' from ancient sanskrit translates into 'science of life'. Fundamentally there is not that much difference between science and theology. If you look at some of the scientific theories that are being considered by mainstream scientists these days, they certainly make some of the claims made by religion look quite plausible by comparison. It's all very easy to follow the sheep and denounce all religion and blame it for all the world's problems, without really looking into it to see if there is any substance to it. Let's alienate so many people across the world who gain some sort of comfort or inspiration from theology/religion/spirituality or whatever the hell you like to call it, in the name of progress.

hehehe, nice thread
Wasn't there a (hoax) story recently where the Egyptians ruled that it's ok for a husband to have sex with his wife up to 6 hours after her death?

That's as close as some Egyptians get to consent I guess (No offense to Egyptians. Much offense to Egyptian law)

Damn! I didn't think of that. Impeccable reasoning, as always.

Yes, in a hole, on a ledge, lost in space. Like that. Just out of the way, otherwise preoccupied, you know what I mean.
