50 axioms of my life as I reach 60 years old tomorrow. I use sermon titles in life and these are perhaps my top favorites I use as I run amuck on this planet. If you like any one or few of these then say so and say so why.

Excellent, all of them. One or two could be used better, because it sounds like the author is protestant. Divorce kills at least one person's entire history halfway, its actually better to live through a hellish marriage. But thats just IMHO.

Nice go there. In the series of disasters of my own life there is likely none anywhere close enough to having married a religious hate filled whacko. And yes I did give that a good do. 23 years of insanity. Then another 5 years of money support and for past about 10 years then totally cut off. And I do claim divorce is the 2nd worst thing in my life but the #1 worst of my entire life was marrying insane and wow did I pay the price.

What does it mean to have religious hate? Towards what exactly?

[–]thomastheglassexpert[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

"Religious hate" to my mind simply means you use your religion for violence, rape, murder and slavery because your religion either allows or encourages it. I married that and yes a Christian and her level of hatred towards gays and other religions just epic. And any moment she needed to lash out at her husband well then it was for sin or crime whether or or not real or her imagination. My own crimes were that of sex and because of that her hatred boiled to a level incredible did not matter that I actually did the sex crime or not. She said I did therefore to her = I did. Therefore her hatred righteous in front of God and if I dared deny then I lied also a sin and that against her God. I lived out in MENA for 3 years and also saw that level of hatred from a death/rape cult of muzzies and they hate because their religion allows it and mandates it. Slavery and rape and murder all quite ok as their God says it is. I was ready for that as I had already dealt with hatred for a long time prior to arrival in that evil place. "Towards" simply means any and everything your God commands you to therefore it is really Gods hatred the person is showing therefore totally righteous. Of all the various types of hatred (city/state/nation, sports, gender or sex) there is NO hatred more pure and vile than religious hatred.

Yep, sounds exactly like protestantism to me. Sorry dude, that isnt christian at all. You are supposed to love the heathens and sinners, but only as in you shouldn't hate them, but feel sorry and pray for their coming to your faith. This being said, you dont let them come near your family nor you allow them to spread their filth to your family.

And yes, i agree religious hate is awful, but out of all abrahamic religions, Catholicism is the only one that does not justify enslaving or murder of infidels.

"Catholicism is the only one that does not justify enslaving or murder of infidels."

So the Inquisition and all the thousands of witches, pagans, and heretics tortured to death was all done by Protestants, and blamed on the poor Catholics? I suppose the genocide of the Incas and Aztecs was also them pesky Protestants, pretending to be Catholic priests? Damn that Martin Luther, and his band of zealot ninja chameleons...always out to besmirch the good name of Catholics!

The inquisition was the tamest tribunal of all. Many of modern judicial trial methods were imported from it, such as witnesses, presumption of innocence and separation of judge, jury and executioner. Like 300 people were executed by it in a hundred years.

Besmirching the Inquisition was done by the protestants to filth the Holy Church.

Lutheran is like Catholic Lite in a good way as far as I can tell.

That's a fun way to put it. I agree, but "lite" makes me think noncommittal (not saying that was your intention, rather my own association). Lutheranism is like extremely minimalistic Catholicism.

No, he erased all the good deeds of the Catholic Church by enabling the most vile """christian""" thought of all; that you only need to ask for salvation in your deathbed and all your sins are forgiven. Worst; there are no saints, so you cannot elevate yourself.
