Religious Animals

[nailit]

Why are humans the only animals on the planet that *seem* to have religious convictions?
I don't see any chimps or gorillas having wars over religion?
There have been millions of different life forms on this planet and yet it is only humans that wage war over things that cannot be substantiated?

I do wish AB had a Philosophy section...

[Neveracrossword]

Nailit, I'm all for you (me, everyone)questioning the meaning of life - but you seem to spend an awful lot of time focussing on religion. There's so much more to life!

[nailit]

//Trust me Nailit, nothing even damp here//
Except maybe your intellect?
If you have no interest in a question then why bother to reply?
Bored were you?

[nailit]

//but you seem to spend an awful lot of time focussing on religion//
A Philosophy section would seem much more appropriate then...but there aint one :-(

You carry on reverting to type, just so predictable.

[Neveracrossword]

Nailit, I didn't mind your question - and yes, it would be good to have a Philosophy section. I just wondered why religion itself is so important to you, it seems to take up a lot of your time and thoughts!

[nailit]

//You carry on reverting to type, just so predictable//
*Yawn*
Yeah ok!

[Baldric]

You appear to have difficulty maintaining a dialogue when someone does not share your viewpoint.

[nailit]

neveracrossword,
Nearest thing on AB to a philosophy section...
And Yes, I do like discussing religion. Does that mean that I shouldn't discuss it because my views differ from those that profess to practice it?

[nailit]

//You appear to have difficulty maintaining a dialogue when someone does not share your viewpoint//
Do I?

//Get a life//
And thats ^^^^ YOUR dialogue is it?

[Neveracrossword]

Nailit, if I'd wanted to say 'maybe you shouldn't discuss it', I'd have come out and said that! I know many, many atheists - many whose minds are just as enquiring as yours - but they question many other things, not always focussing on religion.

neveracrossword, I post in many cats inc. science, I don't get ur point?

[Neveracrossword]

Nailit, your philosophical questions are almost always about religion, I just wondered why. I'll leave you to your discussion now...

[nailit]

Baldric, Ive told you to stop wetting yourself. Its no good for a man. Now, if you havnt got anything to add to the discussion apart from 'Get a life' then go away. Simple!

[Baldric]

Like everyone else on AB I have the right to post where I like, so unless you are part of the Editorial team please don't tell me where to post or not post.

[bainbrig]

Don’t upset him nailit. Him and his mates do make the rules round here, you know.

[douglas9401]

Right! No more Ribena for you two!

[nailit]

Calm down dear....no one is telling you where to post.
why are you getting so uptight about a post that you arnt really concerned about anyway?
Would you like a change of knickers darling?

I don't see chimps or gorillas having spats over trivia, LOL.
