Whilst there is merit it changing the drugs laws and it's probably true that terrorists find sources of funding in illegal drugs, I think it's naive to think that if you take drugs out of the equation these "religious" wars will cease to exist. I'm not aware there was huge consumption of illegal dr...

And do the same for drug use by minors as well as adults.

Thanks Jihadists. You have made us forget that this is a drug war. And screwed parents who are trying to control what drugs their children will access. Damn you to hell. ============== What we have are not ideological wars but drug control wars. I. S. strength is based on revenues from various black...

That is it's beauty. Myths with messages are superior to most literal stories and are usually easier to internalize to activate our higher minds. The thinking shown below is the Gnostic Christian’s goal as taught by Jesus but know that any belief can be internalized. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

We all are to some extent, so why do jihadists take it to extremes? I might be wrong about this, but maybe it's because their social environment condition that made them did what they did is also considerably more extreme than ours? Imagine we're living in a theocratic society and country since we ...

Gnostic Bishop

But should we consider some of these jihadists as victims? I think you're right; they are victims. Victims of the social environment they are living in, psychological manipulation, misinformation and propaganda? We all are to some extent, so why do jihadists take it to extremes? Frustration perhaps...

Gnostic Bishop

They do have a point, not a well-thought one though. But should we consider some of these jihadists as victims? Victims of the social environment they are living in, psychological manipulation, misinformation and propaganda? I think so, yes. As the O.P. states, we create them. They are not born hat...

Gnostic Bishop

Their goal is to die. The goal that should concern us is of those who fund murder by supporting them. We show our political cowardice by not coming down on the money men as well as letting religion make a play for political power.

A picture is better than 1.000 words so I would say that art has had quite an impact on how we think. So could you please post a picture worth 1,000 of your words? My pleasure. How about a picture as Satan was thought to be by the Orthodox Catholic Church. It speaks more to Christian misogyny than ...

Gnostic Bishop

What I could never get about belief in god -as in the abrahamic religions- was why did he create the world in the first place? The whole thing fell down like a house of cards as no one could give me an answer that was not ludicrous. Then again, imperfect gods who got bored and made humans to watch ...

Gnostic Bishop

Imho religion is all in the mind. Thus the question is pointless to me at least. I'll let you know if my opinion has changed if we all meet up on the Last Day! True that it is all in the mind but look at the morals Christians are putting into their minds and those express themselves with actions. R...

Gnostic Bishop

No. Jihadists don't have a point. They are crazy mental people with access to guns and bomb making equipment who believe any means is justified in achieving their goal. Couple that with a belief that life is totally unimportant because it's what comes after that's important, and you have crazy, men...

Gnostic Bishop

Modern definitions and uses of "jihad" seem to indicate that it is the struggle against either unbelievers (basically any person who does not believe in their specific version of Islam or something very closely allied) or against one's own inner, sinful self. I believe that although on the extreme ...

Gnostic Bishop

Do Jihadists have a point? Jihadists rebel because they see God reward Satan for rebellion. The facts, as I understand them from scriptures, indicate that Satan rebelled in heaven, was crowned as the first Morning Star, was intentionally placed to enlighten Eve with her God given powers, then Eve en...

Gnostic Bishop

What is more likely, that a man spoke for God or God spoke himself? Neither are very likely. God was invented by man to explain the unknown; but as the amount of 'unknown' decreases the need for god decreases too. You show why I gave you what you saw as an insult. Even here. You say neither and the...

Gnostic Bishop

If you could access it, you would have mentioned it. All things in their time... I do not live my life according to the opinions of others. I listen and use that which I hear that seems consistent with my view of the real world and that improves my daily involvement with the world. That may involve...
