The Danger of Radical Stupidity

[Encephalon]

To test who is the best at their job, they decide that the first one to convert a bear wins. So, they each go into the woods. A little while later, they all get back. The priest say, "I talked to him and told him about God's love. He's getting his first communion on Sunday." The minister says,"I walked with him by the river, and when he accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior, I baptized him." They turn to the rabbi and say, "how did you do?" The rabbi, whose clothes are all ripped and bloody, says,"I shouldn't have started with the circumcision."

 

I subscribe to the opinion that all three Abrahamic traditions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - have intoduced more strife into the psyches of human beings than the natural, earth-bound conditions ever presented. The Dharmic traditions (Hinduism, Buddhism among others) have had a better go of things, although they certainly haven't attracted the numbers that Abraham did.

 

As a geographer, I indulge in geographical determinism, which means that local conditions of land/human relations figure most prominently, but not exclusively. Compare a religion that springs from an arid desert with one that springs from the lush and humid Yellow River Valley and... you get the picture.

 

Anyway, we're all going to burn in hell, so BFD.

 

Cheers!

I'm glad I don't have to worry about that as I don't hold to that concept.

 

Happy Trails!

So many, that I can no longer see the point.

"So many, that I can no longer see the point."

 

Well typed!

 

"over 9000?"

 

You can't /b/e serious...

I'd like to mention that Judaism originally sprang from Ancient Mesopotamia. They were also around a lush river valley... Unfortunately, it flooded all the time, which is where you get the GREAT FLOOD (*doom*) of the Old Testament.

 

I love all religions, but I do have to agree that, as religions go, the three 'Abrahamic' traditions have the most chance of creating radicals.

Can you speak on this a little more?
