Why do we feel it so necessary to bash others and their beliefs and religions. We no longer live in the Stone Age or Renaissance or Crusades so why does one feel the need to bash another’s religions? What does it really have to do with Conspiracies in Religion? What is a Conspiracy?

Also it is of interest to note that many of the threads of recent days on the conspiracy in religion have nothing at all to do with conspiracy...Im surprised its not on BTS board

Its the 'ego' the need to be one up or right that fuels what you talk about.
So until that is put in check there will always be someone trying to push their idea on someone else.

anyway...

This post does bring up a really good point. I would really like to see more conspiracies concerning other religions. Personally I don't take religion seriously. I just think religion is man made, and therefore a tool of sorts to worship the created vs. the creator. But alas, I digress. I really can't say I know much about other religions, and it would be great to learn something about them through either ATS or BTS. Thanks for pointing this out.
It would probably fly better in a church than in an open forum. In a Church 99% of the people there have some sort of belief in that religion. So you can work within at least a theological model.

Very well said. That is the point isn't it. To educate ourselves to a point to where no one can pull the wool over our eyes.

On this board, because everything is suspect, I think a relgious conspiracy just doesn't fly. Mainly because religion itself is seen as so dubious, that a conspiracy about it has no real bearing, except to those who are adherents of that religion. Maybe if you could confine it to only those of a particular affiliation you could get away with it.

But here, there are no boundaries, and no expectation of the beliefs being followed.

I see a big difference.
How many for example would be willing to die for their beliefs in a soul catcher on the moon, or that aliens are visiting the earth, or that Chris Angel is not just a talented illusionist.
I might be wrong, if so I stand corrected. But I have never met anyone who was willing to do so.
