What have the scriptures and the Bible got to do with having sex?

Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence--a life sentence.

Marriage is very much like a violin; after the sweet music is over, the strings are attached.

Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Masters.

Marriage is a thing which puts a ring on a woman's finger and two under the man's eyes.

Marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.

Marriage is not just a having a wife, but also worries inherited forever.

Can you prove that God is God?

If we can free ourselves from all this nonsense then nobody is going to sulk, they will be too busy enjoying life

The character of Jesus was founded on the basis of Horus the Egptian God of the Sky. The story of Jesus were embellishments, copied from legends surrounding Horus.

The Jesus story in the Bible is a recycled version of the Horus story.

Or even better still a simple human being

OK, lets call it the Christmas truce. Just like the Germans and the Brits has during the first World war

@reverenhd,
i think no 10 sud be DO NOT STEAL FROM A LEAKING PIPELINE

I think that is covered by the following of the new rules:

3. Do not steal.
4. Do not destroy another's property.
5. Do not lie or cheat.
8. Do not pollute the planet, for we all share it.
9. Obey the laws and ordinances of the community. If you do not agree with them, work to change them rather than disobeying them.

Maybe we could make a new subsection and ruling for gasoline thieves!

Thou shalt not smoke near a leaking high pressure pipeline
Thou shalt wear Nike trainers and learn how to run quickly

'seemeth right unto a man'

'the end thereof is utter destruction!'

'Wide is the roadpath to perdition!'

That is why we need the re-write the rules and cut out this religious nonsense and clap trap. Why do you use medieval English to make your points? What can you not stop all this jiggery pokery Harry Potter talk and speak English?

Modern English, English that has not come out of a fairy tale book 

The decision is his to make and know that no matter what you do, you cannot hide from God!

That is true, you can not hide from somebody that does not exist,  It is a pointless game 

Why don't you just suggest a few laws that could be written into a non religious code of practice. That is what this thread is all about and that was the question 

Why do you feel the need to start your pointless attacks again?

You are off topic again as always and you are flaming the thread 

kayno-Jah:
This Babs787 of a person is obviously an agent of darkness! How can a human being who knows how to get himself registered in a forum like Nairaland be posting a thread as idiotic as this!!

We must ensure that agents like Babs787 are deterred from using Nairaland as forum to perpetrate acts their masters had sent them-suggesting satanism to very 'G'odly people. Babs787 or whatever he claims to answer should go look elsewhere for their 'Damianism' tendencies. For the records, Jesus Christ is God- Olodo!!!! Nonsense.

What the hell right have you got saying that people should be banned from this forum because their opinion is different from your own?

If anybody is to be banned then that should be you. Why dont you just answer the question instead of boring us with your communist dictator attitude and dribble!

If you think for one reason that writing this crap makes you Godly then forget it. Even if God did exist, I am sure that he would not want a biggot like you on his team!

God is Patient!!
@Reverend
may God help u

How can he help me? Please elaborate, and what is wrong in bringing the rules into line with the modern World in which we live? As for being patient, that is quite an easy trait for a pretend person to have

A non religious set of rules that everybody can adhere to

No mumbo Jumbo magic or brim and firestone, lightning bolts and fire filled pits, just plain common sense

jagunlabi:
Nice set of "commandments".All we need now is a stone tablet.

The whole point is to get away from the past and look to the future. The rules are non religious so everybody can follow them,

To set them in stone would be old fashioned and that is what we are trying to get away from. These rules would be available on CD, DVD, Memory Stick, Ipod and all other popular formats  

@TayoD

I can not run towards something that does not exist!

Nice story, but that is all it is!

@Trini_Girl

So you are a clever bunny after all You have made some valuable statements in the last couple of posts.

That is the very such nonsense that I am fighting against. People with the mentality of 'Rezzy' who have real hang-ups regarding healthy sexual function and religion. They always have to combine the two and brand everbody a sinner for the slightest cause.

I am not following you by the way, not yet , maybe when I come to Trinidad for the pot test drive you promised me

@MrMayor

I am glad that you came up with that one. That is exactly what we preach. That you should not preach or be preached to!

Everbody is there own God and guide in life. We do not need to follow imaginary ones

Good point,

New Commandments for the 21st Century

As intelligent human beings, what commandments might we create? Here is a starting point for the new Rules of Conduct:

1. Do not murder or harm other human beings.
2. Do not enslave.
3. Do not steal.
4. Do not destroy another's property.
5. Do not lie or cheat.
6. Do not discriminate against groups of people on the basis of arbitrary characteristics.
7. Do not waste the time of another, for our limited time on earth is all that we have.
8. Do not pollute the planet, for we all share it.
9. Obey the laws and ordinances of the community. If you do not agree with them, work to change them rather than disobeying them.
10. Do not have any Gods. NOT ONE
11. Always be honest and faithful
12. Keep your religion to yourself

This process of creating the "rules of conduct" is not based on "religion" or "God." It is based on common sense. "Do not murder" is simple and obvious, and it is essential if we want to live in a functional society. We post these rules prominently to remind ourselves of our standards and our goals as a society.

We should arrive at our commandments through a normal political process (public debate, voting, etc.). Doing this ourselves is an extremely powerful idea because we can all take part in the process, and we will actually get a much better set of commandments.


What do you think should be added to the list above?

There is growing evidence that the delusion of religion causes significant social dysfunction. Statistical research is revealing the problems that go with religious delusion. For example, a recent article in the Journal of Religion and Society points out that religion is correlated to the significant social difficulties that we can see in todays World:

Let's ignore the ill effects of religion around the world over the last several decades. We have Muslims killing Christians (and vice versa), Jews killing Muslims (and vice versa), Protestants killing Catholics (and vice versa), Shiites killing Sunnis (and vice versa), etc., etc. All of it is completely pointless, because all human gods are imaginary. But let's ignore all of that killing and destruction.

Let's also ignore all of the insanity that religion has brought us through the ages -- the crusades, the witch hunts and all the rest.

And let's ignore all the people that religion oppresses -- the women, the people who have been enslaved, the people who happen to be homosexual, etc. Let's ignore it because it is all water under the bridge.

It has to be obvious that God is imaginary, then why might half of the population profess belief in God?

This question is fascinating. Why would we, as a species, create all of this mythology and nonsense over and over again through the millennia? We must do it for a reason.

If we can understand the reasons and deal with them rationally rather than through the silliness and mythology that is religion, we actually can do ourselves a great deal of good.

There are two important reasons why humans fabricate all of our religions:

People invent God as a way to cope with death. Many humans are terrified by death for some reason. They invent religion as a way to deal with their terror.

People invent God as a proxy for goodness. People want a way to promote "goodness" and eliminate "evil" in their societies. In the past, inventing an imaginary God has been perceived to be one way to facilitate that process.

Death and goodness are important to people. They touch on fundamental human emotions. If we can separate death and goodness from the mythology of God so that we can understand them and work with them in a positive way, we can actually do something very helpful. We can create a rational world for ourselves that is focused on benefiting mankind.

It is down to death and goodness. We need to understand the reasons why we fabricate our gods and then act on these reasons rationally.
