ALL the world's religions should get together & agree on some rules
just some basic, universal rules amongst themselves, sort of like the united nations, only united religions or some such shit.

1. The first thing they could agree on
Edited on Thu Apr-07-05 08:26 AM by sui generis
is basic human decency.

Any religion that thinks that killing sinners is more moral than sinning should be eradicated from the face of the earth. Feel like beheading gays in Saudi Arabia anyone? Feel like stoning women to death for getting raped and not doing enough to prevent it? Buh bye. :nuke:

Any religion that seeks to remove the basic human rights of women or gays by seizing control of the government should be eradicated. buh bye middle east, Africa, America :nuke:

Any religion that seeks to control a government rather than its own flock should be eradicated. Fundamentalist proselytizing freaks in America? buh bye :nuke:

I'm just a pissedoff endangered human pickled for science and floating in a bitter vat of brine.

on edit: THIS IS HYPERBOLE. The real solution is to strengthen and encourage democratic forms of government to avoid allowing extremism to develop in the first place, and to have tools for de-fanging it when it does arise.

2. Oh, "mighty brain in a tank," what rules do you have in mind?
Giant brain transport systems:


For experienced riders over the age of 18 only. General Dynamics recommends helmet use for all riders.

5. How about an agreement to stop brainwashing people with crap
and disbanding themselves as of midnight 4/8/2005?

6. Hard to get everyone at the table when no one will agree on who exists
It would be worse than herding cats.

In general, if it isn't "Christian" based, the Christian religions aren't even going to recognize it as valid -- especially the born-again crowd.
