"But where cannibalism was practised as a means of subsistence, it probably originated in times of actual want, such as may have occurred during the long voyages of the people."

Nov 18, 2008 - continued: "Some writers have connected Polynesian cannibalism with religion. In the Cook and Society Islands, when a human being was offered as a sacrifice, the priest presented an eye of the victim to the king, who either ate it or pretended to do so. Probably the earliest human sacrifices were the bodies of enemies slain in battle."good enough? man. almost if not all societies have a religion. an atheist society is really hard to find. especially one of the older more savage ones.

Nov 18, 2008 - people "dont realize what is right and wrong"?! since your basing that on what *you* think is right/wrong. hell it isnt even really what you yourself think. its just what your religion told you to do. i spoke in terms of function not in terms of restraint. i tried not to even bring right/wrong into my earlier point which was that society needs people to restrain themselves in order to function REGARDLESS OF WHICH BELIEFS IT HAS. and my last point was different because you changed up your angle.

Nov 18, 2008 - whoops didnt finish that 2nd sentence. hm i forgot where i was going with that. anyway all religions dont have the same beliefs so that doesnt make sense to compare all religions to non religion. i think that was what i was going to say... hm. something like that.. im not sure. anyway my other arguments are sufficient thought for you to chew on and argue. ill be back on later. (btw im trying to show you some respect even though i dont agree with you. could you reciprocate a little?)
prox000 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - you got your belief from somewhere. a book. a conversation. maybe your obsevations. maybe youll play the "god told me" angle. i dont know. in any case that really wasnt the biggest problem ive given you. besides if someone else said the same thing as you did but believed something else then you are in quite a predicament in explaining your reasoning.

Nov 18, 2008 - I just can say: HOW CAN THEY BELIEVE IN THAT??Hubbard was a writer with a lot of immagination, but nothing more...The catolics believe in a wood worker who lived 2000 years ago, but in thier story there are no aliens and no lord of universe...

Nov 18, 2008 - This is getting ridiculous. I don't have to be criticized by dumbass theists for living a moral life under my own free will instead of because I think some giant man in the sky is going to set me on fire if I don't. Believe what you want, I don't really give a fuck about what some random guy on the internet thinks about my beliefs. ^^I'm sure the same applies to you. Fuck off, and have a nice day. :)Also, a round of applause for prox000!
BlueNightWeasel Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Do you see Scientologists running around eating jell-o with vegetables in it or waking people up on fucking Saturday morning to preach their crazy ass beliefs? I mean really, green jell-o and fucking /carrots/?!?! that doesn't even _sound_ remotely good. At all. Ever. Anywhere.Period. lol ok i think im done now =( living in Salt Lake City is frustrating...^^

Nov 18, 2008 - lmao, well, you make a good point there, but I dont live in salt lake city so I wouldnt know, sorry btw

Nov 18, 2008 - are you trying to tell me what I believe. douche. sucka dick.
stpcreepstp Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - most theists just don't want to think about giving up hope of an after life. It's freeing when you realize this is it, trust me.

Nov 18, 2008 - You would have to be really low and needy to believe in this Scientology hoax.If you do i hope you give all your money to the Church! lol...

Nov 18, 2008 - this cant be what they believe its just... weird
aeminence Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - It is.. go look it up some time. Whats even worst is that they used the name Xenu, its just latin for alien or foreighn, with 1 word changed 'Xeno'. Southpark pretty much explained it the best way...
