[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Islamic religion.[/quote]

I'm actually embarrassed to admit this, and my opposition is definitely secret. But yes. I've read the Koran cover to cover, which I'll wager is more than most have done, and my opinion is well-informed.[/quote]

Having two degrees in religious studies, and having real all the main religious texts as well as supplemental texts, my opinion on all religion is well informed. No thank you.

Outwardly, I don't believe in religion and am quite more tolerant. But secretly, I believe them all to be vile, and that only weak people believe in religion - ie, those who seem to be so scared of life and the world that they need such structure. That their moral code is so flimsy that they can't have introspective human ethics, and need a text. Or have lives so chaotic, that they need concepts like heaven and hell to try and make sense of things. I understand the purpose that religion serves for people, but I believe those people to be extremely weak.[/quote]

They are not weak.  They are artists.  Have you never heard a truth in art that can not be expressed in rational words?  What a pedestrian soul you must have...[/quote]

They're not artists if they follow somebody else's Color By Numbers, pre-made pattern. [/quote]

True.   They are the devoted audiences of artists.  Most of us don't have the talent to be the leader of an artwork.  but we can still love the arts and understand the truths they express that can not be said in rational language.[/quote]

Of course - admiring art is one thing as a form of someone's temporal expression is one thing. Taking a piece of art as some kind of timeless, cosmological truth is another. [/quote]
