Time to come clean, you guys...

...no one was arguing.

Didn't mean to bust another religion topic open. Sorry guys.

The idea that religion is just there to control us has always baffled me. I mean, maybe that was the meaning of it originally-- but most people that say that haven't really been involved with a church and talked to these people. They truly believe it. And not all of them force the religion down your throat. If they're using it for control, I just don't get the angle...

Of course, the people in authority can force the belief on you, but most arguments make it seem like there's a secret society that tells the preachers the truth once they start. That it's all a lie, and they're just tricking everyone into obeying... that's not the case. They believe it. It's just like atheists constantly trying to prove them wrong or that asshole at the music store that told me that I "should play some blues because nobody plays blues anymore." I didn't have the heart to tell him he was retarded... or that his navy blue sweat pants didn't match his green "ARMY" T shirt...

Alas, I think I'm going to market a portable Glory Hole. It'll be a nicely framed piece of plywood with a hole in it with "Penis goes here" written on one side.

Oh no, I think people really believe on most levels. Every organization, however, has people at it's apex who make decisions in the dark, far away from everyone else. I can't imagine people with that much power would go very long before being completely corrupted, and history only serves to reinforce that gut feeling in me.

That's just how I feel, tho. You feel differently, and that's cool with me (not saying you need permission or some crap like that). I'm not gonna get any more Southparkian here and start losing more friends.

Cheers, Mr. Spunckle.

Sorry if I came off as argumentative (you didn't at all). I actually don't disagree with you-- which seems a bit backwards from what I already said. I guess I believe there ARE cases where religion is used as a scam or for control, and others where it's simply used as something to believe in. I have lots of Christian friends, so it's hard for me to totally dismiss it as "bad."

Anyways, back to the comedy of this thread. Sorry for going off on that little... thing.

Why aren't there glory holes for boobs?

Dude, totally. I think it's because women secretly don't dig guys going bananas on their fun bags. They won't tell us, tho cause they don't wanna hurt our feelings.

When I get to play with boobs, I skip bananas and go right to apeshit!
