OT: Politics & News... Have at it.

Let's cut the crap here and admit that we all want to see what Bill Clinton will do as the ''first husband''.

But i'd equally take a Trump victory just to see how the next 4 years would be.

Bloomberg seemed to have done well in office...but that's Bloomberg.

Isn't that an "old world" dilemma across the globe since the dawn of time, which enabled the "new world" (US/Canada) to flourish? Class systems are inherent to the old world - with the ruling class "throwing road blocks" to non-ruling class betterment (though more & more discreetly than ever before).

The root of ALL evil in this world lies in religion - specifically its inherent nature to be a divisive force......

More people have died in the name of God, than whatever the opposite of God is for a given religion.

That is your best post and not hockey related ;), religion is supposed to bring people together but politician they know well how to take advantage of it.
 
Motherfcuker Khomeini used to take 13-14 years old kids to Iraq war and give them key and tell them, that is key of paradise and whoever who die first will get faster to paradise, see how religion can fcuking brainwash you! I know quite few people in school back to time that was tempted to go to war and unfortunately some did and lost their life!

I mean 13 years old kid that his height is shorter than height of gun!Unfcuking believable what people can do with name of religious!

Let me not get into it, i can write a book..

The opposite of God is Money and Greed....and more people have died for that than in the name of God.

The premise of religion is it's defining variable = God, which is based on a single fundamental function = faith.

Mathematically speaking: Faith = the suspension of logic + critical scientific data processing

Hence, the opposite of God from a mathematical perspective = function of suspending (logic + critical scientific data processing)

Religion at its basis (whether Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, etc) is good and sound.

Buddha was born Hindu royalty (Prince Asoka Siddhārtha Gautama), giving up his empire for not comprehending how his religion & God could allow his people to be imporverished, sick & destitute. Buddhism is the only "major" religion to have no God, Buddha is not a God (was neither omniscient or omnipotent), rather the essence of the religion is to achieve the inachievable perfect peace when craving is eliminated known as Nirvana -the abandonment, or extinguishing of all fires that cause suffering namely greed, aversion, and delusion/ignorance.

Ironic isn't it, the only major religion to have no God, is the only one that has never killed or advocated killing - eye for an eye etc..

People are imperfect and distort the education coming from religion.

Some religions groups are better at doing it than others. It used to be Christians for the longest time....

Christians were the first of the major religous based missionaries - Syrian orthodoxy introducing Christianity in India (Kerala) by might & force (4th century), followed by Islam starting some 500 yrs later (first Arab Umayyad caliphate and later Persian Mughal empire).

Data point: only religion without a God never had missionaries, nor did they seek to "expand their empire"....

BTW - I'm not Buddhist & not trying to sell or convert anyone...

That doesn't explain Africa....the tyrants aren't using religion as an excuse.

First off traditional African religion is tribal - African deities based on praying to spirits and ancestors. These secondary spirits serve as intermediaries between humans and the primary God. It was Christian & Islamic missionaries that created tyranny - whereas before it was tribes trying to kill each other with sticks, thanks to mainstream religious interference they now try to do so with bazooka's & Ak-47s....
