I haven't studied it and so will reserve my opinion for when I do. I will say this much, over 13 years ago a Superior Court Judge took a chance on me when many thought I should be locked up some more. I have not since given him reason to regret what he did.

]]> Comment on Using religion as an excuse by Calgary Teacher of Religion http://foonicate.com/blog/using-religion-as-an-excuse/#comment-84 Calgary Teacher of Religion Sat, 27 Oct 2007 03:34:05 +0000 http://foonicate.com/blog/using-religion-as-an-excuse/#comment-84 People may wish to note that religious texts such as the the Christian Bible, the Hebrew Bible, or the Q'uran appropriated ideas and writings from other cultures. Plagiarism was rampant when these books were re-written to suit the needs of the people at the time. Juxtapose Hammurapi Codes with the 10 Commanndments...see the similarities? Creation myths have been around for thousands of years. Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation myth coincidentally meshes with Genesis 1 from the Hebrew Bible (a book written about Israelites, not by hIsraelites). The list goes on. I am a Christian and I am able to step outside of the box and critically analyse the texts of my religion. I don't get all upset that many stories in the New and Old Testaments don't mesh. We have created ways of meshing the texts to suit our needs. We appropriate to make the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Parallel stories in the Q'uran with the OT and NT. That book was also created with older story themes and messages in mind. No offense should be taken by any group. I want to inform everyone that your 'holy book' is not completely original. Sorry.

I was waiting to approve your comment until I had time to form an intelligent response. Now, I don't need one. I'm not against people expressing their opinion. But when it comes to Internet communication, there are a few courteous rules of engagement. Obviously, you need to take a Web 1.0 course. First, and I quote "COME ON FELLOW AMERICAN WE ARE SMARTER THAN THIS. TO LOCK THEM UP AND THROUGH AWAY THE KEY. YES IF THEY BROKE THE LAW THEN THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED BUT LETS FIND ALTERNITIVE WAYS" - they have this awesome invention called spell check. When you are commenting on Wordpress, they underline the words spelled incorrectly. Red = wrong. Green = improper grammar. Come on, fellow American; we are smarter than this. You said it yourself. Second, it is rude to type LIKE THIS unless you are intending for your response to come off as screaming. I don't think you meant it this way. Turn off caps lock. The world will thank you. Thank you for sharing your opinion. Next time, try to use your Internet manners. It is just as easy for me to select "Deny Comment" as it is to choose "Approve Comment". Alright, then.
