Immorality in religion

[Arkansota]

Religious people claim that they have a monopoly on religion. But judging by the fact that Muhammad married a 6 year old, that clearly isn't true. What are some other examples of religious immorality?

[VileKyle]

Religious threads... they never end well here.

[Arkansota]

i dont care. religious people dont have the right to silence critics.

[kidchameleon]

That's not why they don't end well

They don't end well because everyone has such completely different opinions on inflammatory topics like these that they almost inevitably descend into borderline-arguments

Edit: Also, what do you mean by "religious people having the monopoly on religion"? I get the rest of your question, but I don't understand what that means...

I meant to say that religious people think they have a monopoly on morality

[COLOR="Sienna"][SIZE="2"]Bide within the Law you must, in perfect Love and perfect Trust.
Live you must and let to live, fairly take and fairly give.

For tread the Circle thrice about to keep unwelcome spirits out.
To bind the spell well every time, let the spell be said in rhyme.

Light of eye and soft of touch, speak you little, listen much.
Honor the Old Ones in deed and name,
let love and light be our guides again.

Deosil go by the waxing moon, chanting out the joyful tune.
Widdershins go when the moon doth wane,
and the werewolf howls by the dread wolfsbane.

When the Lady's moon is new, kiss the hand to Her times two.
When the moon rides at Her peak then your heart's desire seek.

Heed the North winds mighty gale, lock the door and trim the sail.
When the Wind blows from the East, expect the new and set the feast.

When the wind comes from the South, love will kiss you on the mouth.
When the wind whispers from the West, all hearts will find peace and rest.

Nine woods in the Cauldron go, burn them fast and burn them slow.
Birch in the fire goes to represent what the Lady knows.

Oak in the forest towers with might, in the fire it brings the God's
insight. Rowan is a tree of power causing life and magick to flower.

Willows at the waterside stand ready to help us to the Summerland.
Hawthorn is burned to purify and to draw faerie to your eye.

Hazel-the tree of wisdom and learning adds its strength to the bright fire burning.
White are the flowers of Apple tree that brings us fruits of fertility.

Grapes grow upon the vine giving us both joy and wine.
Fir does mark the evergreen to represent immortality seen.

Elder is the Lady's tree burn it not or cursed you'll be.
Four times the Major Sabbats mark in the light and in the dark.

As the old year starts to wane the new begins, it's now Samhain.
When the time for Imbolc shows watch for flowers through the snows.

When the wheel begins to turn soon the Beltane fires will burn.
As the wheel turns to Lamas night power is brought to magick rite.

Four times the Minor Sabbats fall use the Sun to mark them all.
When the wheel has turned to Yule light the log the Horned One rules.

In the spring, when night equals day time for Ostara to come our way.
When the Sun has reached it's height time for Oak and Holly to fight.

Harvesting comes to one and all when the Autumn Equinox does fall.
Heed the flower, bush, and tree by the Lady blessed you'll be.

Where the rippling waters go cast a stone, the truth you'll know.
When you have and hold a need, harken not to others greed.

With a fool no season spend or be counted as his friend.
Merry Meet and Merry Part bright the cheeks and warm the heart.

Mind the Three-fold Laws you should three times bad and three times good.
When misfortune is enow wear the star upon your brow.

Be true in love this you must do unless your love is false to you.

oh here we go again. raging hellfire threads.

I'll just say this on the topic: It sounds like you're the one who thinks he holds the monopoly of the truth. This forum is not about discrimination and being intolerant of people for being different to you.


Now everyone just calm tits please.

Oh wait that was what you wanted, wasn't it? Well nuts.

She wasn't 6 she was 9! That makes it better, no?

[Spellbound]

You have to understand that religion - as opposed to belief - is just a power structure like any other, like governments and companies. It's designed to enrich those at the top at the expense of the poor mugs who do what they're told.

What don't you understand about the word SCAM?
