Should of seen an andrologist sooner. Proof is that humanity is still on the edge of it's seat, waiting for the second cumming. He would of been divorced by now. Jus sayin.
Happy Easter by the way. |

Don't do religion, never really got my head around it.
Don't need a book or a certain group to tell me how to live as a decent person.
Happy for people to believe what makes them happy, but religion is not for me. |

Each voice has a right to be heard and religious people share an EQUAL right not a greater right.
I will not be thinking of Jesus as I am a total non believer.
A question was asked and a question answered.
Enjoy your life everyday. |

Happy Easter Shag.
My dad learned some interesting things on Friday about the story of Judas. I'm hoping to hear what he learned today later.
I don't think it's a bad thing to use a feast day as a reminder to reflect on life in general |

The amount of money Judas was given to betray Jesus was the amount required to buy an unpaid servant (not allowed to say the correct word), symbolically making Judas their unpaid servant. I can't remember the equivalent in today's money but dad did tell me. |

If people find comfort in the story then that’s their choice. I personally think the original story “peaceful man encouraging others to be peaceful”, got embellished to make it more impactful. They certainly achieved that.
The behaviour of the early Christian leaders certainly didn’t follow the teachings of the man they sought to elevate to godlike status, quite the opposite. And the fact that billions have been killed in his name and others is way more poignant than any other aspect to any religion.
The fact that hundreds of millions of children are raised to not think for themselves and just blindly follow texts written by men hundreds of years ago is just pure brainwashing in my opinion.

This right here is the major thing, while people rip in the religion (at times I get it) and spout about it being bad (and it can be) all the often they themselves are heavily influenced to follow other personal "religions" - celebrities, trends, influencers, sports teams etc.
Anywho happy easter, especially to those that celebrate Jesus' return after going missing on two day bender. |

I’m not in favour of influencers but I think there’s a very important difference. Choice.
Parents telling their kids a story in fact is very different from people choosing to watch mindless drivel on social media.
Want a laugh? We were looking for toys for my granddaughter in Argos and while scrolling through, we came across an influencer play set. Toy camera with ring light, toy radio type mic… I just hope nobody buys them. |

I'm not religious Shag so I'm not thinking of Jesus' resurrection however, is worth thinking about, we could all, irrespective of our beliefs, make an effort to resurrect the positive things in ourselves, our community and our world that we might consider to have "died", such as, love and caring for others, hope, tolerance, self belief... |

Agreed Trio .... as a Humanist I don't believe humans require religion to achieve what you suggest either ... just love for others that is not worn as a badge. I agree with you totally |

🤔 They will a lot of people aspire to be influencers. I think the clue is in the name, they seek to influence and I'm not sure how much of it is choice |

Are millions of children raised to not think for themselves? Religion in schools is taught as just that, a religion. As in if you're a Christian you believe....and if you're a Muslim you believe..... What you choose to believe is a choice |

Religion is taught more in the home than in school. Parents pass their beliefs on to their children. Some more strictly than others. Eastern cultures certainly seem very strict on this with close to 100% of some countries following a religion. |

Not me shag. But enjoy your day of thought. There's a few more people could do with a bit more thinking and a bit less doing. |

"Today it is easter sunday and it marks the resurrection of jesus, who else is thinking of him? I am "
Well Shag, I actually quite like an Easter service, especially a sunrise one out somewhere like St Martha's hill in Guildford.
Thought about a walk with my dog on Hampstead Heath this morning at 4.50 when I woke, but he seemed content in his basket, and I probably would not have got much time for reflection/meditation with him tearing around.
What did you get up to Shag? |

I do think of him, but just wonder who he actually was. So many religions over the whole world have similar people, with similar thoughts and teachings, I sometimes wonder just what made him so special to us. |

That is interesting and good how your dad told you it, yes, the equivalent would be different in todays money too |

It's an important time of year for Christians to reaffirm their faith and I think it's a nice time for anybody to pause and think about what we have and the world around us.
Whether or not you believe in Jesus or not, someone who accepted society's outcasts, helped the poor and taught peace and tolerance sets a pretty good example. |
