In terms of the history of the world, its not that long ago everyone thought it was a fact that it was flat. Its the case that most religions talk of a God and is it not possible that this 'God' is the same on for all religions but just that they choose a different path to that belief?StMarks wrote:I don't understand how you conclude that from what I have written Kwacky.?Kwacky wrote:So you're encouraging people not to think for themselves and to only accept what they're being told in a controlled environment?
Fwiw I think it is vitally important that people are encouraged to think for themselves, and never to be blinkered by the opinions of others. I think people should be taught facts, & fiction should be something that can be sought out for entertainment.
Thanks for your rational & well structured response guys.kiwikrasher wrote:..Now the problem with your statement in bold St Marks (even though I agree to some extend the basis of your idea) is who determines what is fact? There has been many an educated theological argument presented to determine that religious beliefs are fact. Some agree, some don't. So if you are mandating "teaching of facts only" and determine religion can't be taught, aren't you just behaving the same way as the religious zealots? "I'm right and this is the only way I tell you!"
My concern isn't with people doing as they want. Rather my suggestion is that there should not be a mandate for taking those beliefs & inflicting them onto others.?StMarks wrote:......

Fwiw I don't believe I have ever suggested that a belief in a "God" is unreasonable. You along with a great many more intelligent people & learned people than me are believers of one type or another, and I respect your choice.duke63 wrote:In terms of the history of the world, its not that long ago everyone thought it was a fact that it was flat.

Sadly that is where our views start to diverge mate.duke63 wrote:.......Its not religion per se that causes conflict but the men in charge of it in this world that do.
Actually that's a very nice drink.Kwacky wrote:Mix them.
