That is exactly why this is such a good post, it makes people think.

Damn right I&#39;m uniformed

At least go to the bother of reading what other people post.

It is often apparent when reading people&#39;s posts that some chaps cant be arsed to read what other people actually think.

vidcc,

I have yet to see you reply to a thread, any thread, which gave the impression that you had actually read it. Your posts come across as someone with pre-conceived notions, who can happily ignore anything which contradicts them. Including, but not limited to, what people actually post.

I gather there is a very fine line of interpretation between auditory hallucination and divine messages..

I guess that in a different context, not knowing what those children would have grown up to be, means that we do not know if she was killing the next hitler based on direct instructions from God. You never know, she could have prevented global anihillation (sp??). Saints were said to have been in direct communication with God so were they insane or inspired..we will never know...nor can we be sure with her....

Your right we can&#39;t be sure but we can make an educated guess that if someone kills her children and then says god told her to she is slightly fkdup.

It goes against gods teaching so why would her case be an exception.

It&#39;s a bit to conveniant (sp?) to be taken seriously. &#39;what will stop me from being electricuted, oh yer the old &#39;god told me to&#39; line.

People should understand that even if god told her too she didn&#39;t have to, as she is said to have her own free will. Her mental state affected her choices and actions which ever way you look at it.

Shamans often claim they are talking to a higher power, however tibetan buddhists suspect them of actually talking to malicious spirits. In this system of belief it is possible she talked to something, but that something might have been a negative influence.

"The whit man came and brought god, poor god couldn&#39;t come by himself."

Why would god specifically tell her and not a random guy on the street or even the children themselves- what they had done wrong and how to right it.

I am as mellow as a sloth on vacation in a field of hash plants

i am as relaxed as the sniffer dog at the airport after making a find and saying "Hey man...like... woof".

I am not convinced by your assertion that religion (presumably any religion) is essential to social order.

All that is required is that members buy into the society that they live in. Europe is largely secular with about 14% attending religious services. The other 86% are not on a rampage. I don&#39;t believe crime is any worse in Europe than anywhere else, our murder rate is in fact lower than most despite having fairly lax penalties for serious crimes.

That is not to say that the social situation where you live is the same. I appreciate the US is trying to glue a lot of disparate cultures together and religion may have a role there I don&#39;t know. However, if that is the case, religion performs a specific and not a general rule.

That is soooooo black and white that it sounds like a census report.

So 86 percent of Europe are atheist or agnostic?

I don&#39;t regularly attend religious services but I still have my religious beliefs. [/b][/quote]
I apologise for the gratuitous use of statistics. I am not a fan of them much myself.

Of course there are many shades of belief systems in Europe. However, by their very plurality, it follows that from that self same diversity there is not a cohesive set of "rules".

However, if people are not social then society doesn&#39;t work. In a purely Darwinian sense unsocial societies will destroy themselves - leaving only social ones.
