You're very talented, I don't even know how to put a pic into the sig box. I tried a few times and gave up, wasn't holding my mouth right, I guess.
I will.

Thanks. What pic (or kind of pic) were you using? It has size limits that can easily be manipulated in a photo editor.

Oh, just regular pictures. I just couldn't get them to show up in the sig.

I was just looking through Comic's Art thread, really good stuff there!

Jesus himself would have made a good American. I can see how Christianity spawns so much fascism though. God in the form of man... God is definitely the kind of thing to put the seed of inferiority into someone's brain. Because this Jesus thing is supposed to be God in man form, it makes people think they can match the Jesus thing, causing them to develop the SEA complex.

By removing all the 'God'/fantasy stuff, Christianity could be a perfectly fine philosophy.

Religion, in itself, is tragically flawed. What is religion? A set of beliefs, usually involving a God. Why not create the exact same thing, except instead of a set of beliefs, use a set of facts or truths?

Because it is so hard to bend "facts and truths" to a current political ideology when they are supposed immutable.

Certainly, if you were to remove the God/man part from Christianity, the fascism would also be removed. Even removing the 'God in the form of man' thing would do the trick.

As far as creating an evolving 'fact/truth-based theology', I did actually already do such a thing (merging science with philosophy), but I couldn't come up with a good name.

Jesus is a nice dude. We had a couple of shots of brandy this morning. He was aching a bit due to some hard shit on his place. Apparently he needed to fix some warped wall without the proper tools. I told him, God! Cmmon! Donīt do it that way! He then looked at me and smiled, as if I were some asshole telling him how to do things. Burp. He was right. No, sorry, left.
