well then my mistake. change beliefs with religion. Now their actions dont reflect their religion, but their interpretation OF the religion.

now add, in the eyes of townspeople who go to church with them. However, get them far enough away from church, and you've created a complete inversion of what they, or the townspeople may deem acceptable in the eyes of God. ................But praise that lord on Sunday.

yea well then it depends upon how educated the townspeople are and if they are able to find out information about religion by themselves.

Miltamec Soundsquinaez · 01-26-2008, 03:43 PM

yeah, but what do you need other than a bible, and a preacher who god speaks through?

Halfa · 01-26-2008, 03:49 PM

but if you cant read then you have to depend entirely on the preacher, and his interpretation. And to make things worse waddif the preacher is like the middle age catholic church all over again??

lol.

I think you could heavily judge a person on their religious stand-point because it usually means they've never thought of it in a rational approach. Or either their rational thought are so convoluted that they think religion makes sense, in which case you could judge them to be an idiot.

yes i know. and the reformation was a good thing
and Religious people DO think things through rationally. It's just that they see things in a different light than...well...non religious people

Halfa · 01-27-2008, 12:32 PM

in retrospect it was a good thing. why? because it led to reforms in the chuch as well as other reformed sects of christianity.

if you want proof, read A World Lit Only By Fire

Halfa · 01-27-2008, 10:55 PM

read A World Lit Only By Fire. or at least flip through it. the reforms in the church are what made it a good thing. the wars themselves were bad.

which reminds me. why the hell are we in iraq again?
