[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4613696, member: 80301"] I've never really cared about anyone's sexual preferences. I think that the "in your face" part of the LGBTQ movement has made ppl speak more on it than they otherwise would have. It's a great political tool to drive wedges of division anywhere they can I suppose. Race, sex, sexuality seen to be hot items in recent years. I agree that all Abrahamic faiths are useless except to those who seek control over masses of ppl. I've studied all of them to some degree just to gain insight, including islam, islamic mysticism, pre-islamic lore you name it I've probably at least checked it out. I can't remember who said it but they said, "do you remember your fear of being born? No, because you didn't exist. It's likely the same in death ". Even babies, as vulnerable as they are seem to be fearless because they haven't had fear beaten into their heads in the same way adults have. Fear is an excellent manipulator, which is why politicians aim to keep ppl in a constant state of it. To some degree I can understand the dogmatic aspects of religion. Telling little Timmy that grandma is "just rotting in the ground and you never see her again" is kinda harsh. I think the developers of religion at least had the insight to know ppl would grow to understand, not rely on it. I think religion was more intended to be a vehicle to get you from A to B, while some ppl merely get into the vehicle and think they've already arrived without ever going anywhere [/QUOTE]
