Do you know how I know how BHO is more advanced than most of the so-called advanced world?

Because we are five pages into a discussion about the merits of religion and nobody has threatened to kill the other person.

Now, if I had an agenda....is my morality leading this thread to an open discussion of ideas and possibilities? Or have I just generated enough of my own knowledge, wisdom, and understanding in my 42 years to cultivate the direction of something and have we all done that in the name of collective conscience to better understand the ways of man?

Is it just the communal nature of this boxing board as a whole, and our familiarity with one another--with the exception of "rj" whom we really haven't spent much time conversing with over the past decade.

Would this discussion be going in a completely different direction if we were all locked in a cell with one another?

What if our individual survival in a hypothetical prison cell whilst discussing this meant that in order to survive, we had to do anything and everything possible to impose our beliefs on one another about the merits of religion and if we didn't we would face certain death?

There was an experiment carried out in russia where they bred aggression out of a wild animal. Some kind of wolf or fox...i dont remeber. The scientist who started it long died off....and they continued it. Some several generations later...the wild dangerous were so civilized...they were made house pets man.

I have bought into the idea of generic predisposition for a long time. I would think that would play a larger and the most primary factor before you get to any book....it could be why 10 can read the book...and 1 goes on a murder spree...and if we were to implement the actual ratio...it would be a lot wider than 1 in 10. We need more statistics in the world. More metrics. Theyd tell quite a story.

So you're disputing people who are religious but not the book. Like you said its a collection of different people records of their time in History.Its definitely not all about love and whole bunch of soft shit. Its about war and the wrath of god to the children of Israel for their continual disobedience and their way of life. It references one nation throughout the entire book. It has different composers so any contradictions are related to that and the time, plus the many times it has been translated and altered by currupt world rulers.

I've been working out of town away from my family and friends with nothing better to do than chop it up with you guys
