Reply #2: I was watching Battle Star Gallactica last night.... [View All]

And there was a scene that went like this.....(I am paraphrasing but I thought...hunh...what a revalation..)

Priest sitting across from the Chief of the Flight Deck..

Chief: I have been having these dreams...I pray to the Gods to save me....because I think I am evil
Priest: I don't believe in the Gods coming in and saving us

Chief: How can you say that you're a priest
Priest:I have been doing this job a long time and I have come to the conclusion that the Gods designed our lives this way...they never had any intention of swooping in and saving us..They gave us the tools to figure out what is right and what is wrong...they gave us a roadmap....We are the owners of our destiny.....they have given us the guidence...

The Neocons have used Jesus and the Bible to use it as "an opiate of the masses" and hatred vs using Jesus and the Bible as a guideline for each man and woman to choose their paths between right and wrong.

Historically religion has been used to start wars, justify the slaughter of millions of people....and today to destroy America.....

Intellectually I don't get it either!!
