1. Wonderful.....

I feel the same way about both church and forrest.

[Mr.Bill]

11. Standing on a starlit California beach

where you can spin 360 degrees and not see a single man-made object, that is my church.

And in my younger days, LSD was my sacrament.

2. Christianity is really quite macabre when you think about it.

Our iconic symbol is pure pagan brutality.
A man nailed to a cross, tortured then murdered.

[SheltieLover]

3. And ritual cannibalism.

[Irish_Dem]

4. Oh yes, that too. Eating the body and blood of Christ.

And then after Christ is brutally murdered he rises from the dead.

Yep the whole thing is macabre.

[SheltieLover]

6. Sure is

[Irish_Dem]

7. What does it say about human nature that people have loved all of it for 2000 years?

[Mr.Bill]

10. I guess it's human nature

to believe a man with a big hat.

14. .......

[Mr.Bill]

12. It's all fake, I tell ya...

I was an altar boy. I've been backstage.

[Irish_Dem]

16. The boys used to talk about sneaking the communion wine.

And other hijinx.

[Mr.Bill]

19. Absolutely. They used Mateus at our church.

And I was an Atheist already. Why would an Atheist be an altar boy? Well, there was actually money in it. You see, Saturday was wedding and funeral day more often than not. And it was customary for the families involved to tip the altar boys. $5 was not unusual. In the 60s, when I got $1 for mowing a lawn, this was a gold mine.

[Irish_Dem]

20. I forgot about the cash side gigs.

Right, weddings and funeral days for sure.

The boys talked about the priest slipping them money from time to time as well.

Right $5 was a huge amount of money for a child to make at that time on a regular basis.

13. It's almost as if the Bible was written by ignorant, angry, racist, sexually frustrated men instead

of a loving God. Weird. -- Ricky Gervais

[Irish_Dem]

17. There you go, that is the human condition.

God just keeps trying.

[Jade Fox]

15. It's a death cult.....nt

[Irish_Dem]

18. Aliens landing on our planet would probably agree with you.

Humans are a strange bunch to worship all of that stuff.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Well said...nt
