I read it as "Religion is just a form of control" rather than "Religion is a form of control." My bad.

Yeah, but didn't he say that we humans aren't supposed to pass judgement? I don't doubt that Jesus supports justice and righteousness, but we're supposed to leave that up to Him. I just don't think I could sentence a person to death, nor support the death penalty, knowing that I'll be judged if I pass judgement. The only thing we need to do as humans is make sure the perpetrator never harms another person, and I don't think killing him is the right way to do it.

When God says not to pass judgment, he's talking about the hypocritical kind: doing something wrong and judging someone else for it.  He does want us to pass justice.  That's also why God appoints leaders and governments, so what needs to be done can be done and not decided by any one person or any one subjective view.

That's a picture of Bush when he found out he actually doesn't rule by divine right.

Post of the Year!  That's funny on so many levels and from several points of view.  Nice.

1) PL is my least favorite member now because he stole my line.

2) I have an oddly hard time discerning whether or not TurtleKid's post is sarcasm or not...

3) Luigison killed the funny by saying the four magic words.

I think Turtlekid1 was trying to be funny but (mistakenly?) owned himself instead.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

If I can stump Glorb, there may yet be hope for me.

Yes, it's true every human is subjective regarding morality and their beliefs.  But no stranger off the street is going to be biased against a murder suspect one way or another until he hears both sides of the story.  At that point it's actually good to be morally subjective, so the right conclusion to the case can be reached.

ProTip: You don't want to confuse people in a political discussion unless you don't know what you're talking about and want to escape looking like you do.
