Being disrespectful to other religions is just not nice. No one can ever understand that way. If you seriously want to know about God you must look within yourself. But I can not see that happening any time soon. Good luck anyway. ---

> [@lekatt](#): > > Being disrespectful to other religions is just not nice. > > No one can ever understand that way. If you seriously want to > know about God you must look within yourself. But I can not > see that happening any time soon. Good luck anyway. To paraphrase someone much smarter than myself…when religion was in charge, it ruled with an iron fist. Burning, torturing and killing any and all who spoke against it. Now a few words are thrown around, and a certain segment of the religious community get their knickers in a twist. If your religion/faith/god can’t take the criticism aimed at it, you should probably look a little harder at it’s foundation. But I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Good luck. ---

> [@lekatt](#): > > Being disrespectful to other religions is just not nice. So is asserting subjective speculation and expecting it to be accepted as fact. And then complaining about disrespect when it’s questioned. Joking about something is the norm. Religion does not get a pass. A priest sees a boy standing in front of a monument outside the church and approaches him. The boy looks up and says “Father, what are all these names?” The priest replies “These are all of our parishioners who were lost in the service.” The boy is quiet for a minute, and then asks “The 9:30 or 11 o’clock service?” ---

I’m sure you did not mean to imply that I ever had a conversation with that disgusting goat-man or that he is anywhere near Pallas’s level. Pan is scum. So are satyrs and fauns. Exterminate the lot of them, I say. ETA: I apologize for writing “eliminate” above. I meant murder. ---
