surenderer: This discussion seems to have turned to religion and homosexuality so let me ask you this.....If there was no religion are you then telling me that homosexuals would be accepted as normal into society? that seems to be niauve (sp) thinking because everyone knows that its human nature to dislike anything different than yourself.....thats been the root cause of racism, sexism etc.....not religion......religion is just an excuse used to promote immature ideas.If there wasnt any religion those bent on promoting these ideas would find another excuse :m:

M*W: I believe that christianity has promoted disparity in the world. In the pagan world before christianity, everything had its own place in society. Diversity was welcomed and honored. Christianity propagated hatred and bias, and we are still suffering because of its influence. Fortunately, christianity is dying worldwide, and diversity is becoming more accepted, as I believe it should. Human beings would probably still have had some innate differences in each other, but I believe they would have been more acceptable than the horrors we've had because of christianity -- the holocaust, the witch burnings, the inquisition, not to mention all the other evils that came out of christianity. We are all interconnected together as one body and one soul (energy), but it is christianity that has taught us to be devisive.
