Serious question for those of you that are religious
When y'all pray for more rain or thank god for you scoring a touchdown, or pray that your relative will recover from illness, what exactly are you expecting will happen? Are you praying that god will intervene or is it more of a prayer of just hope or thanks and not actual expectations?
I'm curious. Mitch |

I remember Beth telling me she had a psychology class that was devoted to the belief of religion and examining those who do and those who don't believe in it. And from a psychological standpoint those who believe in some sort of God benefit more than those who don't. The belief in the possibility of their being a greater force is more powerful psychologically than not believing in anything. I always think of Holyfield. I don't think he was necessarily the best fighter when he was champ but he always seemed to believe that God was behind him and he seemed almost blinded by that belief. Also, when I lived in the Bahamas I saw first hand how important it is to society to have religion. It was the first time I witnessed why it is necessary to have poor people believe in a higher power. Religion gives extremely poor people a reason to be good people. The people we saw were so poor they lived in tents and had absolutely nothing and yet spent their days working on million dollar homes doing shit work with no food and just a jug of water in the blazing Bahamas heat. I strongly believe religion is what kept those people from stealing as much as they could from their clients. Jail isn't enough of a deterrent when you have absolutely nothing. |

Here is the interesting thing. They are always struggling for money and it is their own fault. They are always moving. Every 3-4 years they are off to a new city because God is calling them there. So he can never get established in his job and start making a decent living. I have my own theories about these moves and think that it has more to do with his wife wanting to control him than God calling them somewhere, but hitting on your point he is always upbeat and sure something great is going to happen just around the corner. His belief comes from what he calls a miracle. He got a few concussions as a kid and it gave him narcolepsy and some other kind of disorder. He had been on medication for it for a long time. One weekend his wife was out of town visiting her family and he realized he was out of medication and couldn't get more. He was told without it would have seizures and other issues. His wife told him to pray and ask God to heal him. He made it through the weekend without any problems and has never taken the medication again. Personally, I think it is because it has been 20 years since his last head injury and over the years he has healed, but he thinks it is a miracle so now he is uber-devout. |

I am sure some people do pray like that, but I don't. When I pray I generally thank God for the blessings I already have and ask merely for the strength and direction to do His will and be a better person.

And with respect to crime and religion, you are again exactly correct. People are far less likely to act out, when they are bound to religion/religious beliefs and the idea that they will be judged in the end or are being watched all the time or are violating a strong code that the entire group holds dear. Many many many cultures throughout time have put a god and a temple at the center of shared resources with no other law (irrigation to farms from a shared and limited water source for example) and people generally do not take advantage, hence the institution of religion as an effective management tool over law and punishment. Groups that are not bound by religious beliefs live an infinitely shorter life than those which are. This is very well studied and particularly evident in cults which typically have a shorter lifespan than other organized communities or groups or larger societies.

Religion was introduced to men as a form of police. Without it there would be anarchy.

Additionally, Kamizaze pilots brought into being by the resurrection and use of Bulshido, not religion. And by the way... the fighting itself is also basically a religious experience. People bind into groups. People unite behind common beliefs. People unite against an enemy. People start to believe in their "righteous" cause. People start to believe in the "evil" of the enemy. People sacrifice themselves for others. People transcend beyond the "me" and start seeing only the "we" and "us" and act in the interest of the group, for a higher cause and purpose.

Why do you think Hasidic Jews control much of the world diamond market? To say "they're greedy" is ignorant. It's because its a business that relies heavily on trust. That trust is easily found when dealing with other people with shared beliefs and values and ancestry . Further, it is a natural human trait to trust and feel more comfortable with similar people than dissimilar. Even infants have been proven prefer their own language and their own race to others after just a few days of birth.

You are misinterpreting and distorting what I said to fit a predetermined belief that you have, which you wish to defend. I said nothing about "control". People don't want to be "controlled". They want structure. They want rules. They want order. They want leaders. They want to survive and reproduce. And "what they want" is the best means to that simple end.

My genes don't like being lied to.
In the end the Morman's will prove you right. BTW. They are prepared for the next total war and as a group they are the strongest in the US. So I'm not saying that you are incorrect in some the effects of religion in humans. Survival of the sheeple. I am saying that a lie is a lie and controling and manipulating people for their own good via religion is a control method of the powerful. BTW, the majority of the atheists I know are really intelligent and care about the earth, humanity and doing the right thing. They are the most ethical folks around.

Your misunderstanding of religion could be summed up well in your inability to answer the simple questions... "who exactly is in control". Many 1000s of religions out there. Billions of followers. The answer is obvious... no one is in control. We are all free to believe as we choose, yet the majority of people on this planet believe in a higher power. Our brains are wired for it. It's built in to who we are.

We just think you are delusional idiots in that area, But we will never turn you away or not do business with you because you belive differently about the exsistance of a god.

My only belief here is that I live amongst crazy ass MFers that beleive in ancient fairy tales. If the crazy MFers stop beleiving in BS and start working for a common human cause My beleif goes away. If there weren't people who beleived in god/gods I wouln't have to disbeleive it. I long for the day when people are reasonablee. Laws are not control of the same magnitude as religion. If I violate them there is real punishment for my crimes. (I know, what if get get away with it? right?) A slave is a slave is a slave.

Of course, the personal attacks usually start right around this point in the conversation. (it's only a small attack but, that's worth mentioning)
I you have such religious conviction.... Why are you in the adult business? On an adult board. Clearly you interpret your religious texts differently than others do. I have yet bto read a text for the 3 main religions that says selling pussy and cock is OK.
