What makes you think I was generalising? Did you read what I wrote rather than read into what I wrote?

How so? Even Christ said if you want to know if what he is teaching is true, try it. You can't get more "thinking" than that.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.
1. At the time that Christ supposedly lived, anyone who was left-handed was assumed to be evil. 2. After reading the bible from cover to cover (I really have: some fun stuff, a bit predictable in parts, should make a good series of fantasy action movies) I did not find any mention of this Christ person supporting left-handed rights or that left-handed people were not evil. How do you live with yourself having this hypocritical, lefty... should we call it "life-style"?

The evidence is all there if you care to go and look for it. Legalisation of drugs has never done anything but harm.

Now tax it! Why not? They tax alcohol & tobacco, so why not tax (and regulate / control the purity of) drugs as well. In fact, make teh whole lot legal, and tax 'em. The TV adverts would be interesting ... :laugh: In all seriousness, making it legal improves the quality for users and massively reduces costs for police forces who spend far, far too much time dealing with minor possession charges. And no, I don't use drugs - and haven't for twenty or more years.

Show me one citation of this person outside of your fantasy-book. And no, religion is not philosophy. :|

Of course. I went to 13 years public school and 6 years college. If you don't give the answer they want you get it wrong. But now you answer some. How does religion prevent free thinking? There are millions upon millions of religious people. Do you really believe that they are all brain-dead? Surely you can't be that arrogant.

That still does not change the fact that the Christian religion (maybe not Catholics) challenges you to test it out, never tells you to just accept it.

No, it doesn't. Christianity is not this "loving, give us a try, we're researchers" nonsense. The Christian religion is based on fairy-tales that already existed before, did things that other profets did, by a man not mentioned ANYWHERE in history except in the bible. And no, Christianity does not promote thinking; talking about some witch that walked on water. Next to that, nothing good comes out of religion. It should be banned in all forms, as the great evil that it is :thumbsup:
