What do you mean? I don't understand.

Yes, I did forget my apology. I should have gotten back to you much earlier.
Your asking to back up my claims? Well, Asatru is the faith of the ancient scandinavian/germanic people. It dwindled in the middle ages and was revived roughly in the mid-late 1800's. We believe in the old gods and not just one. Asatru translates literally as "faith of the aesir(or the gods of the old north)" or in some translations "true to the aesir." If you need anymore information I suggest you read up alot on it there's alot of false information about it so please by all means make sure you are getting the right information. However the reason I said what I said was because quite frankly I don't believe in the same god as everyone else. That is a violation of the first amendment in a way. Like I mentioned in my first comment political correctness can sometimes be the stupidest thing in the world. Like this http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x312/katemeister75/Misc/Xmas/PC-Grinch.jpg but at the same time not everyone in this country believes in the same god as everyone else. True no one is forced to say the pledge, but me personally as someone who is proud to be an American I too want to feel free when I say the pledge. In other words one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Originally when we use to say the pledge, and this was before the cold war when religion of all sorts was going to be wiped out, the under god part wasn't there. The Communists who tried to destroy the U.S's way of life in a way won. Sure we are still here and yes adding the under God part shows that we truly are not afraid to believe and always will believe in a higher power. However we still should change it back or better yet at least in a way use political correctness by saying "one nation under divine province," "one nation under divine heritage," or whatever. By all means though people yell at me saying oh your messing with tradition or leave it be it's apart of our tradition. Quite frankly if you really want to talk about tradition and keep it the traditional then change it back. There was no "under god" but back it the day. ****ing idots I swear there's a fine difference between refusing to change your ways that you hold sacred under false ideas and being a ****ing facist conservative. I'm not a pinko commie neither because honestly there is a big difference between being a liberal dochebag and just being a human being and having a heart.
Damn it I just typed a whole thing for my second response. **** whatever. Plain and simple Shirley Phelps Rooper is a delusional nut case. That's all you can really say. Preaching "God hates ***s" or "God hates America" and other nonsense of the such in his name is not fundamentally Christian. No matter what the bible says. Same goes for idiots like Osama Bin Laden who think they're are dying for the right cause.
Vikings however are another great example. Sure alot of them did pillage, rape, and kill. however a good few of them were great warriors, explorers, poets, and adventurers. I'm actually still learning alot about them personally. So as of right I plan to learn more.
Also I feel the need to mention this again to anyone. If you disagree with anything I say, do, or will do then that's your opinion. You really don't have to read anything I type here on this site. Read under your own free will.

Santa Claus is offensive. He's an obese pedophile who likes strange children to sit in his lap then breaks into their homes.
But seriously, part of me feels like Santa Claus is how society conditions its kids to not use reasoning skills and believe anything grownups tell them....priming them for organized religion.
My kids know it's make-believe and still enjoy it.

Look people need something to live by in their lives and when they got nothing to live by (because of some douchebag who has no life and takes things way too literally) well plain and simple life just sucks. true life does suck, but it doesn't have to be absolutly terrible neither.
By all means I think it's awesome that you have somehow struck a balance with your kids Gooch. However some people just have no life.

Interesting tangent ...
Logically speaking, you're correct. Santa Claus is a horrible person for doing what he does. But he brings gifts ... which isn't much unlike pedophiles ...
As for organized religion, I have my views with respect to that and they're probably best left unsaid

*Homer Simpson Impression* Mmmmmm......organized religion. Or his more famous "Mmmmmm....Organized Crime"
Maybe in your eyes life sucks, in mine, life is excellent! Something to live by? Sounds kind of like religion...
I have no problem with that lady and her beliefs about God or whatever. However when she starts interupting funerals, soldiers or not, thats where I draw the line. A loss of a family member is difficult enough for people, let alone having some band of loonies making it look like a workers strike.
^ I Agree, life does not suck. Life is and will always be what you make of it. If it sucks, you can fix it. If it greats, you can still make it even better.
That lady could prove her point otherwise. I don't see why she has to do it at funerals and in such other events. She could well do it outside of any public event, yet, she chooses to do it while people are weakened by sorrow or in very negative state of emotions - she kicks them while they are down. She is what you call, the garbage of society. You can tell she is completely catatonic: she is literally indifferent in the whole video, she lacks any sort of emotional reaction, one could beat her senseless and I bet she would still have an indifferent figure.
Why hold back?
My take on religion is that it's crap. All of it. There is like 3000-4000 religions all of which say their god is the true one. There is apparently pre-determined rules to follow in each religion, all different and contradicting themselves. I tell you what I beleive in: The principles BEHIND religion: good/bad, hope, karma, helping each other on this planet, you know, the logical stuff. I beleive that religion is used to put these principles into context and in a form where people could tell stories to teach these principles to people. Someone put names and titles behind these principles and we now call them religions.

That's my take on religion.
Karl Marx said religion was the opiate of society. He was correct.
My take on religion is that was developed by the educated as a way to control the uneducated masses.
And it's still a very effective way of controlling the masses. In fact, you can control wars, crime, conflict, sexuality, and use religion to justify virtually anything as long as you believe it is a construct of what "God" wants.
Anything that is not logical and cannot be proved must be interpreted. Therefore, the biggest problem with religion is that it inherently lends itself to interpretation. Therein lies the fundamental flaw with any organized religion: it is subjective, not objective.
That just doesn't work for me. I prefer the tangible. The proven.

Religion does only seperate people. The so called stories from certain religions are just stories to live by. In Asatru all our stories tell us great things. Be good to yourself and to the earth, be a hero in your own epic, never give up, always perservare, rise up threw the thirst of opression, and fight for all things that are real until you win or fall.
Without no mythology or guides of that source people just begin to talk nonsense. That's why we got people like those nut cases who crashed the planes into the twin towers. Also that's why we had that ****ing moron who blew up abortion clinics. These people take those stories way to literally.

Why did he blow it up though?
If nobody was inside I would gladly blow up an abortion clinic and I follow no religion.
Typhon, someone might tell you the clinic is empty. Maybe it is. But doing something of that magnitude always has a risk of killing/hurting someone else. Regardless of the clinic being empty or not. I'd never use explosives in that matter...ever. Maybe if I was in a wide open field and in a truly controlled environment.
The idea behind abortion is horrible to me too, I think you are letting your anger towards abortion making you say stupid things
lol, I almost repped you for making me laugh
