Accountability has been a huge focal point for a buddy and I's conversations regarding his girlfriend. Lack of accountability for an individual's actions putting them where they are today. It's not everyone else's fault or everyone else's problem that you put yourself into thousands of dollars of debt or you're running around with an abusive significant other. Or that you get drunk downtown and get into questionable situations. It's not God's fault for war. It's a group of people seeking out an objective, 99% of the time that objective being someone else's land. Not fucking religious pursuits. That's just gibblty-gob political leaders feed the ignorant masses into believing. It's easier to scape-goat a religion than it is to take personal accountability. If our President originally said, "We're gunna go fuck Saddam in the ass for persecuting his people for no good reason," I'd be like, "Well, good, fuck em'. We're already setup for retort against Al Qaeda (ironically who we originally funded anyway), why not double over? They're right next to each other." Instead we were fed BS and mislead. I think accountability was finally named, but never focused on because the media doesn't care about the good, only the strife and conflict. Notice how no one ever looks fucking good on TV? I wonder why that is....

BTW, that probably has more to do w/ DAC's and such more than the optical cable. But, I do get your point. And, this is off-topic. Greed is the root of all evil. Power. Power is what created religion. Religion is what give a lot of people power. A big ass circle jerk. |
Incorrect. People give people power. Some people just take power and make it for themselves. Religion is merely a facade.

I think we are in agreement, maybe I just misstated my point a little.

I believe religion, at least some forms of it, have had some positive influences on humanity. Teaching kindness and goodwill are always good, no matter under which pretense it is presented. Also, I believe one thing supersedes every other thought I have... the "Golden Rule". Paraphrased... Do to others as you would have others do to you. But, I'm still working on my nasty habit for harboring re/vengeful feelings.
