Absolutely true, CC. And thank you for the clarification. I have met and worked with loads of the little people doing good in their communities. In fact, don’t think it’s possible to escape the religion power-trip unless a person gets down into the humbling task of serving their fellow man. I mean, REALLY doing the work and not just showing up for the photo-op.

but all of the above is just the power play that has always been part of any organisation. Peeps forget that Church and State were inseparable till the reformation. The real christian church then and now is all the little people who like to follow a code of behavioural conduct to give their lives meaning. Not everyone has the curiosity to investigate other pathways and if a religion has an seemingly acceptable moral code or is what their parents taught them, it’s the one they follow. The spotlight is shone on the dirty deeds department and the good, behind the scenes work done by a far greater number is ignored. When a priest is outed for damaging little kids it’s only the priest who is a shit, not the possibly hundreds of parishioners who feel the shame but still keep their own moral standards and go on doing good in their communities.

So who are those three females always running around? Her inner holy goddess trinity??? I like the bit are the end where she goes up the escalator and sees herself going down. Pity the actual perfume itself smells like, well, a candle from k-mart.

I’ve never understood humanity’s obsession with a personalised anthropomorphic god. Religion always seems to boil down to dreary power, politics and social control machinations – there’s nothing otherwordly or even spiritual about it. It’s such an obvious human construct designed to artificially shape and manipulate the beliefs and subsequently behaviour of people belonging to a particular social system.

I suppose from a historical and cultural viewpoint it’s interesting to discover the roots of a society’s beliefs and moral constructs, but you know other than that it’s kinda incomprehensible that people really take the myths of religion literally.

Not trying to be controversial or offend anyone here, just am genuinely perplexed by the whole subject. That being said am generally questioning my own spiritual persuasions at the moment, wondering if any of it really means anything and is it not possible that it’s all just a load of wank and wishful thinking.

Maybe it’s bloody Pluto doing my head in again? Maybe I’m watching too many X-Files reruns …. hopefully the truth is out there!

One of the bones of contention at the Nicaean Council was the divinity of Christ. Because a Roman Emperor was divine the Roman’s couldn’t possibly have a religious founder who wasn’t, so regardless of the various ideologies, Christ was declared divine and all other ideas were declared heretical. In the sixteenth century Pope Leo X is on record as saying “it has served us well, this myth of Christ” Most of the so called heretical groups were left in peace till Innocent 111 (what a misnomer) pulled a crusade in 1208 on Raymond V1 Count of Toulouse because he was too powerful. Innocent claimed the area was heretic because the region was Cathar Christian and exterminated them. Again political. He set the Dominicans up as the Inquisition and the burning times began.
