Wasn't the whole madness of what happened at salem due to people eating 'Ergot' infected grain that made them hallucinate and start blaming each other for being witches ? im sure I read a scientifical study on Salem, cos we had it first here, 'the Witchfinder General Hopkins' arse that he was, and he disappeared? yeah right, now known that he had travelled to Salem under a different name.....interesting eh?
My Bad for lowering myself. Have a good one mate and don't forget to wash ya hands. There, that's more polite.
Right, that's exactly the problem and my point.
ah ya english always have to take credit for doing it first! rofl yes i believe ergot is the valid theory of trigger however, opportunity arose and acted upon in the name of religion..
I am not implying anything to you.Right, that's exactly the problem and my point.
As for the "true Christians" comment I got little to say cause I know from experience it will lead to nothing.... no point in arguing about how silly the the term "true Christian" is. It's an oxymoron.... Having grown up in the most churched area of Europe, I heard it all before and frankly find it hard to not become rude to people who continously imply I will burn for eternity because I don't swallow their 2000 year old desert fairy tales... so I'll stop and go back to reading about mj - MY true savior
If you are one of those Christians who feels sorry for me that I haven't "found God" than you know exactly how I feel about you. I sincerly hope all believers see the light some day, metaphorically speaking...
I totally agree.
Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.
Yeah, like opium, <cough Afghanistan cough>
Oh, I though he was referencing the Knights Templar in a way that criticized them, like: hey! They say it outright here...
True, true, but those conquests are fueled with religious undertones *coughIraqcough911coughcough*
I don't disagree.
without religion as a scapegoat men would have to resort to the truth for their desire to wage war. lust for land, wealth and power.
oh they've been criticized for century's, Batshit christians is not politically correct tho, the term is BatShit Extremist's, don't matter what religion you are. That's why our bible had to be re-worded, text removed over the centurys until finally we developed our own religion, The Church Of England. What does everyone else call us? Protestants....lol Tells it all don't it?
Hmmmm, desire to wage war? I struggle with this. You could very well be right, but I really don't know for sure. I think we get stubborn in our beliefs, whether it's belief in an Almighty or belief in genetic superiority. The desire is to defend our beliefs and unfortunately that sometimes outweighs the importance of human life.
pro tip: those weren't christians.
...and I think that's the whole point. Life is full of seeming contradictions, and etc. Once a person sees that it's not the fault of any one thing (or group) then they're left to wrestle with their own perceptions. Much easier to point a...finger
