What corrupts faith? what other than sex, or anything new in that subject, corrupts faith? :demon:

Idk... but I was just reminded of that Dawkins interview with Haggard where he said he'd rape, murder and steal if God wasn't watching. For Haggard, the only thing holding back the tsunami of corruption is faith in God. Fucking nutter.

Not needing to apologize or ask forgiveness for being human.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The Net is best considered analogous to communication with disincarnate intelligences. As any neophyte would tell you. Do not invoke that which you have no facility to banish.

Soft furniture, clothes that fit, other humans that find them physically attractive, cheese, chocolate, beer... pretty much anything that isn't an imaginary super-being with a taste for virgins. :nono:

The realisation that the Bible is full of contradictions. And then that their faith is too.

Knowledge. That's what doomed Adam and Eve, and it was an in depth study of the New Testament that demonstrated to me that not only did I not have vocation for the priesthood, but chretinity was absurdity piled upon mistake (or the reverse, or it wasn't mistake but bad faith, and it's all absurd anyway)
