Reply to Religion! Is it a means of control?? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

"There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning.." ( Jimmy Buffett, "Fruitcakes" ) ORGANIZED Religion is certainly a means of control, and it's a growing business as well. The various denominations, sects, and theocracies, are nothing more than service organizations marketing to targeted demographics. King James had the Bible translated once the masses began to read, hmmm, think that could have been a control issue?

Seriously, good job on 5 days, last time I tried to quit I used Zyban, didn't smoke but I was a zoombie for the 6 days I took em. It's just not meant for me to quit, patches burn my arm, the gum burned my stomach, and I pissed off the last hypnotist who carnivaled thru town by lighting up ( totally instinct ) once he finished his spiel.... So it goes....

I'm pretty sure the final four were all standing on the same side of the stage...how about Bo splitting the middle last night? I thought he did well in a bad situation, and why would they put him in such a spot anyway? Scott, Scott, Scott....he's got to be next, the Clay clone will go shortly after him, and then, hmm, Vonzell and then Constantine ( I reserve the right to exchange Carrie in this position if she doesn't fix her wardrobe and pres

With the exception of Swinger guy and his secretary, it is believed that all the other parties were faithful until divorce. The surprising thing has been the youthful exuberance of the newly single "40ish" folks. It's like a mass middle age crisis or group recapturing of lost youth. I always thought in the old days the wife just got a face lift, and the husband bought a Corvette...... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Hmm.gif" bord

We live in a small southern town, complete with a dying textile and agricultural economic base. No fast paced lifestyles to hustle thru, no traffic jams, no big problems to speak of. But reality is mirroring fantasy in the personal relationship department, it seems that every episode of "Desperate Housewives" has played out within our circle of friends.

Careful, the Nation of Islam has designs on the Mexican Gulf States....and as a conservative who throughly enjoys the constant replaying of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" I feel your book banning is severe.

Any dog, in the wrong hands, can be just as dangerous as a gun in the wrong hands. Do we ban guns as well? How about SUV's, they kill more motorist than any other vehicle, or how about a ban on alcoholic beverages over 50 proof..... You can't legislate away personal responsibility. So it goes........
