    Quote from: nessrriinn on December 14, 2012, 04:26 AM
    it's not that you stop caring about something called honour.. you redefine it, ... , you claim it as your own.. you realize that noone can take it away from you nor can they give it to you and vica versa.. because the definition of honour we are brought up to believe is twisted and wrong
    honour is part of your character i think..  is how you act when noone is looking, not the community , not family, not anyone.. tell me, how honourable is beating a child?

    you are honourable Mia..  that can't be touched no matter what

    ''Religion only exists because most kids believe in magic, and all adults were once kids. Welcome to organised religion, where everything means nothing and nothing means everything. Where knowledge is ignorance and answers only lead to confusion. But just as those least likely to believe in magic are professional magicians, those least likely to believe in the supernatural, are those with a firm understanding of the natural. You don't have to be a scientist to have scientific understanding. Learn and be free, it's your mind, fight for it'

    "Spontaneously, without any theological training, I, a child, grasped the incompatibility of God and shit and thus came to question the basic thesis of Christian anthropology, namely, that man was created in God’s image. Either/or: either man was created in God’s image — and God has intestines — or God lacks intestines and man is not like him.

    The ancient Gnostics felt as I did at the age of five. In the second century, the great Gnostic master Valentinus resolved the damnable dilemma by claiming that Jesus “ate and drank, but did not defecate.” Shit is a more onerous problem than evil. Since God gave man freedom, we can, if need be, accept the idea that He is not responsible for man’s crimes. The responsibility for shit, however, rests entirely with Him, the Creator of man."

    “We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.”

    Just try getting through one paragraph from The Tao of Jeet Kune Do over a cup of coffee.  Pfffft, and here I thought the Quran was deep.

    I think the “finger pointing away to the moon” quote is extremely relevant to discussions about religion. For most people, religion starts off as a way to find answers, to find that heavenly glory of truth. Sadly, they get so caught up in concentrating on the finger—the rigid do’s and don’ts, the out dated dogma—that they lose sight of their original pursuit. And when the truly awe inspiring truths about the origins of the universe or the evolution of life through natural selection stare them square in the eye, as bright and glorious as the moon, they would rather concentrate on the mundane, on the pathetic, simple, pointing finger.

    So true.  So very true.  Especially sad for Muslims as they are/were SUPPOSED to be the ones who think....ESPECIALLY about signs and natural wonders, the Quran says it repeatedly.  That's what was so poignantly beautiful about the faith to me when I first entered it.  So sad that dogma crept in and decimated the landscape.

    Talk about not seeing the forest through the trees.

    "The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome. I mean the idea that such complexity can arise not only out of such simplicity, but probably absolutely out of nothing, is the most fabulous extraordinary idea. And once you get some kind of inkling of how that might have happened, it's just wonderful. And … the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned."

    19:48   Pharaoh   Life constantly batters against the fortress you have built. Eventually it overcomes the door to that fortress and floods inside, washing away all the delusions you have created. It leaves only the barest truth; a black abyss into which no light shines. You realize that the fortress you created was guarding nothing. Then you die.

    From a piece I'm reading by Bertrand Russell:

    "In this little insignificant corner of the cosmos there is a brief interlude between two long lifeless epochs (it's formation & destruction). In this brief interlude, there is a much briefer one containing man. If really man is the purpose of the universe the preface (& epilogue) seems a little long"

    ...and unnecessary.

    The essence of Christianity is told us in the Garden of Eden story. The fruit that was forbidden was on the tree of knowledge. The subtext is, all the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just keep your fucking mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions. - Frank Zappa

    A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians.  - Frank Zappa
