What is the origin of your username?

And hopefully learn from our mistakes.

I don't think religion plays a that big part.
Every human has a consciense and knows what is wrong and right - if I lie, I don't think "God says it's wrong" I think about how it feels wrong to say something that is not true to another person. That's about what I feel, not what god says.

And like, murder is just wrong because then you kill someone alive, that has family and friends and deserves to live.
If this is not what you meant, sorry, but I had to say when we were on the topic.

yes but the society as a whole have rules, right? and everyone of them has origins from religion, causee the way the religion is practiced has changed to controll the people, that is why the rules about not eating pork or shrimp is there, to make people not eat food that went bad quick, in a time when you could die from that, most laws has it's origin in religion cause it is implemented to us for centuries millenias even and tought us things are right or wrong, historians speculate that all our moralic rules come from early religions, and it is known that emapthy is not something ou are born with but something you learn, so while you might not think lets not do this god say it is wrong, some one 2000 years ago said that to gain controll and now it is really clear as day and normal to us all. so history and religion has shaped what we see as right and wrong today together and both can make you learn a great deal about your self...

MY GOD i ranted... sorry! and no offense menat to anyone

Rants are awesome

I still think we could've managed fine without religion. If not religion, something else would've made us think about our actions and the consequences.

I think that we try to blame a higher being for our behaviour.

I blame my parents.

i blame substances that clouds my judgment... but really there is always a way to make it less me and more someone else the trick is to not allways take the easy way out

Yeah, sometimes it might not be the easiest or most damage free way, but still the best way to do things. Few people can do that choice again and again.

yeah well we're all human we'll all slip up every now and then

Yup. At least we're not Hitler.

if hitler had had someone to smack him up the head and get him somehelp he wouldn't have done wha t he did....he wasn't mentaly well... ah i can't bellive that sounded like it did, i don't like the man but i think if someone had put him on meds he might have been unable to be like he was and then not done what he did

Yeah, I think every human being can be helped if they are willing to take the help being offered. But I don't think anyone told Hitler to go see a shrink. He would probably just shoot em.

probably, but it could have been needed even earlierlike when he was a kid maybe? i have heard a lot of diffrent things about his childhood, but it might would have been there he was supposed to have gone somewhere else

Yeah, he tried to get into an art school. My bestfriend's dad has written many books baout him, so she knows a lot about him. He even had jewish friends in his art period, but, something changed him...

then the answere migth lie there

Yeah. A lot of artists are twisted.

a lot of people is twisted... a lot of the greatest people that has ever lived was twisted a lot

I think that being "twisted" they are just looking at the world in a different way.

Yeah, I think a lot of great people are twisetd, doesn't have to be negative ^^

yeah twisted doesn't mean negative things all the time... somethign i hate though is people using the word special as a bad thing, it should be something good something to cheerish not something bad (my dad allways use it as something bad, then in his word avarege is the ultimate compliment)

Yeah, I hate when people like, call people weird or special, if someone says that to me, I say "thank you!" and I smile. It's not a bad word

it really isn't but i think a lot of people is afraid to be it, cause it means not being mainstream

I do not want to be mainstream,to copy everyone around me and too look like clones. The word special is seen as a insult from where I am from.

i want to be me, not anyone else.

special should be possitive.... *pokes everyone that use it badly*

Kind of like the term gifted.
