While I am pretty antagonistic towards most organized religions, I don't think blowing up churches is really the best way to get a point across. -------------------- "Your life is yours alone, rise up and live it" ~Terry Goodkind Post Extras:       AAnnAArchy Gifted Procrastinator Reged: 10/20/03 Posts: 643 Loc: Las Vegas Re: Would you join?

Today, the question is largely academic anyways, since, in most cases, the Church's interference isn't too extensive. Still, if I lived in Galileo's time, maybe I would enjoy a few plots like that... -------------------- "Your life is yours alone, rise up and live it" ~Terry Goodkind Post Extras:       Packer_Fan stranger Reged: 04/12/04 Posts: 16 Loc: Virginia, USA Re: Would you join? [Re: Sephia]       #1232 - 06/07/04 04:35 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   This is a very interesting question. I would like to think I'd join, given my logical sense of thinking about science. But I wonder if I would've had the courage and strength to believe in the scientific data of the time especially in light of public opinion and certainly the beliefs of the majority. What I'm saying is that today, with hindsight as my guide, it'd be a simpler decision. I'm trying to think of an example today, where there is public opinion in one direction and scientific data that leads us elsewhere and I can't really come up with an example. Just to test myself. Interesting... -------------------- Wild man in a wild world. Post Extras:       WKShadow Beloved Angel Reged: 06/02/04 Posts: 79 Loc: Myrtle Beach, SC Re: Would you join? [Re: Packer_Fan]       #1236 - 06/07/04 08:04 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I don't know about joining. I'm of the Vetra philosophy and feel that science and God both have a place. The true religion before Christianity was Judiaism, and then Christ came along. He practiced Judiaism and fulfilled their prophesy, but they didn't see it. Now, everyone doesn't have to, and may not agree with me, I'm just saying, I think I'd be like Vetra and the pope which was murdered by his chastely born son. BTW, the book I mentioned in another thread uses in vitro for monks too. I think it's a ripoff of Brown! Post Extras:       Galen stranger Reged: 06/22/04 Posts: 3 Loc: USA Re: Would you join? [Re: WKShadow]       #1372 - 06/22/04 09:30 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Quite an interesting question... As things seem to be today, I believe the Illuminati are around, or at least a group with the same power and influence. And actually, my goal IS to join that group. Since the Illuminati filtered into the masons long ago, I thought the best place to start was there. While it may be a dead end, at this point I've nothing else to go on. I have a friend who worked/works for the government, DoD and such and he has met people he "suspected" as being Illuminati, and he is a man of no small genius. As for the New World Order, it seems that almost everyone wants to stop it, and while that may be the "noble" or "moral" thing to do, I would rather be on the winning team. And not so much that I'm scared, I would just rather live my life out the way I've planned. Being eliminated or enslaved by a group that I feel has almost the same views as myself isn't something I like. And yes, I'm probably crazy. But just because your paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. Post Extras:       Sephia Supreme Goddess Reged: 11/28/03 Posts: 876 Loc: MA, USA Re: Would you join? [Re: Galen]       #1437 - 07/05/04 06:18 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   I doubt anyone is after me, but a little paranoia isn't always a bad thing. My goal *would* be joining the Masons, but there's just one tiny little problem. I'm not male. So it's either the Co-Masons or some other group. ::sigh:: -------------------- "Your life is yours alone, rise up and live it" ~Terry Goodkind Post Extras:       Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all)
