Marius Fett Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Come on guys, this is meant to be serious.
Marius Fett Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 posting this in the outlanders? I only just realised that...
Totenkopf Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Not so much religion as a strict adherence, to the point of exclusion and violence, of any belief or operating (economic, political, etc..) system as being the ONLY one acceptable for everyone.
Ravnas Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Okay, actually the worst mistake was Harding's isolationist policy in the 20's
Totenkopf Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 What, you're absolving Euro pacifism and appeasement in the face of the rise of facism w/in europe, Hitler specifically?
jonathan7 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Man kinds worst mistake is not being loving enough. If we loved each other more the worlds problems I think would be overcome. Religion, though it gets a bad press in fact is only a tool; the majority are sheep; who allow themselves to be manipulated into thinking in particular ways and committing horrible atrocities in the name of their country or God or money. Even if religion did not exsist, I think those in power would still use things to manipulate people in their favour.
Ravnas Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 What, you're absolving Euro pacifism and appeasement in the face of the rise of facism w/in europe, Hitler specifically? Sorry,I meant one of the worst mistakes in American history. I should have made that clearer. Obviously those decisions were far stupider.
mur'phon Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I agree with J7, religion is a tool, for better or worse. In my wiev our worst mistake is to regard those who agree with us higher than those who don't. Those who disagre are too often seen as wrong and in need of "enlightening", often using voilence.

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently." - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche The Dawn, Sec. 297
Totenkopf Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Whats curious, is how mob mentality, runs amoc in religions which at least from my reading of them are teaching love and respect... ..the majority are sheep This, sadly, probably explains it. Coupled with man's own basic imperfection.
JCarter426 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Whats curious, is how mob mentality, runs amoc in religions which at least from my reading of them are teaching love and respect... If the first mistake was religion, the second mistake was not following that religion.
jonathan7 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 If the first mistake was religion, the second mistake was not following that religion. I didn't say the first mistake was following religion This, sadly, probably explains it. Coupled with man's own basic imperfection. Agreed.
Jae Onasi Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 This thread is pretty spammy--stay with the topic, please.
*Don* Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 Vanilla Ice. Agreed. lol No, but in all seriousness tho, I'd have to say that religion and money are probably the two worst mistakes mankind has evermade. Oh, and electing Bush as President wasn't that bright either...
JCarter426 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I didn't say the first mistake was following religion No, I'm saying it (and Arcesious said it too ). Oh, and electing Bush as President wasn't that bright either... Not so much a mistake, per se, as he wasn't elected.
Titanius Anglesmith Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Mankinds's worst mistake was religion, IMO. More like "religious politics," rather than religion itself.
