No matter how anybody tries to spin it, the bottom line is these masses of people are fanatically obsessed with someone who lived 1400 years ago.

"the U.S. insulted the prophet"
that's what is being shouted when they get in front of the tv cameras.

I've been rethinking my feelings about organized religion because of this.
Until this I was neutral on it. But now I'm leaning toward having an overall negative view of it.

Let the prophet sue them in court. It's the American way.

I think it's time I establish a conservative cutoff point for my own self when it comes to this sort of thing.
If someone lived more than a millineum ago, then I'm just not going to let myself get worked up over anything he or she might have said.
A thousand years is long enough. Before that it just becomes too silly.

Now here's an example. This fella lived 2 thousands of years ago.
They called him Alexander the Great. And okay he mighta been great and all that 2 thousands of years ago. But today he aint shit. So if anybody wants to say he was a child molesting moron who ate pork and rode camels then it won't get me riled. I just don't care. I'll have to say he aint a bad looking dude though. Most of them back then looked like goobers.

why say all religions? are you trying to be politically correct because you are afraid someone is going to call you some kind of name if you say these crazy muslims need to be done something with?

because of christians or any other damn group of whatever religion starts doing this I will want them done something with too.

I'm not going to appologize for not supporting this behavior. and I sugest anyone who is a "good muslim" get thier guns or swords or whatever thier fav weapon is and take care of these crazy assed people. They are messing up the entire world. Look around. its not the damn CIA. These people are nuts!

I'm not limitiing this to preachers or medicine men or politicians or carpenters or goat herders or witch doctors or dictators or kings or prophets or messiahs or any other walk of life. I'm saying ANYBODY and EVERYBODY who was around here before a thousand years ago no longer gives me a tingle up my leg.
And if I was afraid to speak my mind then my approval rating wouldn't be second lowest of anybody here so you don't have to worry about that.

The main problem with still getting tingles up legs over these people who lived over a thousand years ago is that thousand year old history is about as reliable as what we get from fox news or msnbc. In other words not reliable.
Those people just didn't know enough at the time to impress me. And even if they did their biographers didn't know enough to convey that. The communications and record keeping tools humans had that far back are just too lacking.
Even with all the modern communications we have today most of us realize that what is written about people and events is often just horseshit. So how can we rely on what was written about people and events over a thousand years ago.

as far as getting tingles up your leg I dont see how it really matters unless someone is trying to kill you. and since you mention what youve seen lately, reffering to all these riots is what I guess your talking about wouldnt what I said be correct? Unless your referring to some other something youve seen.

Yes those hundreds of millions of people with the tingle up their legs over that 1400 year old "prophet" are prime examples of this. No doubt about that.
For me a prophet needs to be born within at least the last thousand years.
Take Isaac Newton for example. Or Ben Franklin. Or Albert Einstein.
Now there's some prophets who knew something. And knew enough to give me that tingle up my leg.

I'm betting that teo will be the first one to agree with me about this.
Teo believes the stuff written about people living today is mostly horseshit.
All that "official story" stuff.
But the "official story" stuff of over a thousand years ago had to be even a lot goofier and even filled with a lot more lies and deception and misinformation and error.

Bob you could sign up as a Mormon, their guy just died about 140 years ago, a more recent deity.

Hmmm. On second thought, maybe I'll have to move that timeline forward even more. lol

When you get to be 63 years old you're just glad if the tingle in your legs is not caused by neuropathy.

My first cousin is 65 and married to a 40 year old. But he's paranoid that she's gonna run off with a younger guy.

ohmygod, Chrissy.
After I threw that thing into the earlier post about Alexander the Great I got curious to learn more about him. And what I found is not pretty...

Wow, you just love opening Pandora's Box. We really should be relying on the people who preceded us in the last generation, or the one before that. Those were (possibly) people we knew and that might have had an effect on us. We can never ignore the advice of those who came before us, be it the last generation or one from 2,000 years ago. We need to hear all they have to say.

Well I'm with you on the last few generations and even the ones before that.
But when we go back far enough then the only thing we can learn from them usually proves to be erroneous. I'm just not inclined to listen to those who tell me the Earth is flat and is the center of the solar system.

Bob, try praying to Alfred E. Neuman.He never has died because he never has
lived
. This could be the key to your metaphysical dream.
