tonyj must think Sir Desmond Tutu is heathen scum too, for enjoying the company of those satanic Buddhist types:

Jesus Built My Hotrod may not qualify, despite having Jesus in the title.
It is the title of a song performed by Ministry. The lyrics describe the plight of a young man who has been abandoned by his girlfriend because he found Jesus in his pants and won't stop worshiping. Pretty sure most Christians would consider it Blasphemy.

I propose to start an exclusive cult with associated website, that I am just about to register:
"climbingforclimbers"

The sect will be restricted to climbers, and we may even allow the dark satanic sports climbers to enter our fold.

Boulderers too? That truly would be a broad church.

He clearly said it was to be for climbers, so boulderers will need to find their own church.

Yes, we will only have enough room for one group of ascetics, which will no doubt be occupied by the free soloists, with their minimalist values and spurning of unnecessary paraphernalia.

Faith, hope and charity (and indeed morality) are most definitely not exclusively religious values. I find it incredibly offensive when people of whatever religion suggest that you can on;y be a "good" person if you are religious.

When need a poll. Is it more fun to take the piss of someone who is sensitive about their religion or someone who is sensitive about their lack of religion?

Driving into Nowra one evening, we passed by a church with a crowd of people and a big bonfire out the front, and Jack blurts out "Ah - zey are burning all ze witches!"

Absolutely cracked me up

Just though it might be relevant to a climbing/religion thread.......

All instincts that do not discharge themselves outwardly turn inward — this is what I call the internalization of man: thus it was that man first developed what was later called his "soul."
Essay 2, Section 16

First the thought, then the hand, Satan never rests.

That every will must consider every other will its equal — would be a principle hostile to life, an agent of the dissolution and destruction of man, an attempt to assassinate the future of man, a sign of weariness, a secret path to nothingness.
Essay 2, Section 11

The sick are the greatest danger for the healthy; it is not from the strongest that harm comes to the strong, but from the weakest.
Essay 3, Aphorism 14

"The blessed in the kindom of heavan will behold the punishment of the damned, so that thier blessedness will please them all the more."

I vote this thread be closed and deleted.

Not in the interest of stifling debate or free speech that we hold so dear.

It just seems overly vitriolic and is reminding me of listing to Catherine Deveny.......

Oh yes, I forgot that belief in the supernatural must never be challenged and only ever treated with kid gloves.
