But I think to blame everything on "Satan" is a bit of a cop out. I think people should take more responsibility for their bad decisions and stop blaming it on to Satan.

Feralcatlady, I respect your enthusiasm. Black magic does exist. But it can be practiced in any church or religion. I know of a Baptist church who gathered the congregation up and directed them to pray for the death and destruction of a human being who owned and operated a tavern in their area. They were opposed to drinking. That's black Magic. This same church needed a new church, took out an insurance policy and then 'mysteriously' their old church burned to the ground. They got a new church. That is a felony. JB Religion is SUPPOSED to define the people. Granted that doesn't always happen, but we are never to define a religion by the people who practice it. According to the underlying presumption of ALL religion - man is imperfect and needs 'enlightenment' to lead him to perfection. So pointing out these flaws simply reiterates the reason man needs guidance, enlightenment, religion, or God in the first place. |

But then again I am only being self-serving and childish. And sometimes you have to leave people where you find them - even if that is blind and lost. Will I look at it like this, If I asked you a queston on a subject you were versed about, then turned around and made a derogatory comment about it... after stating I knew nothing about the subject. Wouldn't that upset you? I knew what he meant by that comment. Would you stop! My point was that I would have ignored him!

You know I leave you guys for a couple of hours and this is what it turns into. Someone gets offended and retaliates by showing off their intellectual and arrogant prowess. The whole point of religion is that it IS personal and subjective. You cannot truly expect people to see eye to eye because they are raised differently and experience life differently. We are subjective, arrogant creatures. What started out as a GREAT question has once again turned into a'my religion is better than your religion' debate and now feelings and emotions are involved because SOMEONE decided they did not want to respect another's opinion and made the deliberate decision to take offense to that opinion. So to that person, while you may be 'defending your faith' and 'calling someone out' to set the record straight, in my humble opinion, you are simply being childish by demeaning any opinion that doesn't agree with yours and you are using your eloquent and educated opinion as a weapon, which takes all the learning, interacting, and fun out of this forum. People can and should be allowed to express ANY viewpoint and opinion they want in this forum. Get use to it! I fully agree with you Will, but when an opinion is based in ignorance, that ignorance should be addressed and made right. But then again I am only being self-serving and childish. And sometimes you have to leave people where you find them - even if that is blind and lost. |

Religions differ from cults in the amount of control they exercise upon the members. A cult attempts to cut you off from other information and other people and they will attempt to dictate and control members to an excess. A religion borders on a cult when it begins to isolate its members from the rest of society such as the Jim Jones scenario. (It started as a religion.) There is a sliding scale of control and freedom where the difference is found somewhere along that scale. Some cults will simply brainwash people into believing that if they leave the cult bad things will happen to them. Christianity could even be considered a cult in that it teaches that if you don't profess to believe in their savior, you will not be saved and may end up in Hell. This tactic is carried to the extreme in some cults. The Jim Jones cult isolated members, and held them hostage with weapons. JB How else can a cult exercise control unless he exalts himself as equal to or above the Almighty? History has revealed attempts to do this with titles like The Last Messenger or Prophet or His Holiness. Religion says to believe in God only, but according to these rules, or these principles. |

Personally I don't care about the game, but the question fascinates me. Religion is such a broad term that it allows individuals to be flexible with the meaning. But in its essence, religion is a set of codes and rules that governs a persons life. Most people forget that religion DOESN'T HAVE TO BE SPIRITUAL. However, it happens to be the connotation mainstream society applies to it. An atheist may not believe in a spiritual deity, but he will believe in science, logic, philosophy, even karma. And if out of his exposure to science and logic, he develops a set of principles and values that dictates how he relates to this world and the people in it, that's his religion. What I am trying to say is that voodoo is a religion because people have been shaped by its rituals beliefs, traditions, and practices for centuries and its followers relate to this world according to its dictates. Just like any other religion. Thank you for the great answer. I learned alot. 
Don't worry about the game! Just for those who want to escape reality sometimes. You did like my trivia questions a few days ago though! ha ha

"I'm also bipolar and suffer General Anxiety Disorder, PTSD, and clinical depression......I'd like to start dating again, but DON'T expect me to put out on the first date........if that's what you want, call an escort service" errr.... Dont put stuff like that in there, scare away all the normal guys. Try: "I am gentle but can be tempestuous; I need to be romanced before I can really get into a guy". Or something along those lines. |
