I think if the better tenets of several of the major religions were actually followed this would be a far better world in which we live. But the way the people involved in most of them behave, I have severe problems with most of the "religions" in one way or another. Many religions have good and bad points.. far too many to debate. Every last one of them has a history that includes far too many abuses in their name. I guess the biggest problem is when one group decides to force its definition of "GOD" on others.

Amazon 7 #72 August 13, 2003 Quote need some crew?? Its only a 22' Columbia..... but deck slaves..uh I mean crew are always appreciated Sailing a 22' sloop across the Columbia River Bar has its moments... whitewater sailing ROCKSIt is good for an adrenaline rush unlike anything else you have ever done. A little chat to that HIGHER POWER comes in handy once in a while. ( to get back on topic) Amazon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #73 August 13, 2003 cool...my friend (and fencing coach) used to have a J22 (? weak on sailboat types but love the feeling...) we came close to flipping it a couple of times, and since the lake in AL he played on most had nothing in its class to race against. We used to play "pirates" during regattas. I swung over to a little Catalina (maybe cant quite recall) with a sabre in my teeth and demanded "Bread, Beer and Bikini tops!!"____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

digurman 0 #74 August 13, 2003 Thrill seekers often come to realize that this is our only go around. Better to make the most of it than to live a miserable, monastic lifestyle, which is the basis of Christianity. Granted, modern Christians are moving away from this, but self-denial is the basic tenet of the religion. Interestingly, the earliest gospel (Quelle) does not include any of the traditional Christian teachings. Just the love for fellow man, resistance to authority, etc. Salvation, the trinity, the evils of sex, etc. all came a century or more after Christ. He probably wasn't as bad a guy as the bible makes him out to be. He may have even traveled east and studied Buddhism. Words aren't real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #75 August 13, 2003 Hey.. you need a sailboat..... I want to sell the 22' Columbia... and get a larger one... more suited to some cruising... like around Vancouver Island... I could do it in the little sloop... but I am getting used to having creature comforts these days. Amazon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
