[Know et al]

Publius, I have spoken to some atheists that were easier to talk to about Christianity than some “Christians”.

That may sound strange but it is true.

[NativeSon]

These people are not atheists. They believe in destroying the fabric of our society to have us all be subservient and dependent upon their god- Government.

I have never been able to believe in God or The Gods and I will never bow down to anything but removing Religion from humanity will destroy all that we've accomplished, all that we've become.

[Know et al]

LOL! I'm still trying to master it.

[Albion Wilde]

The Bach B Minor Mass is long and quite a listening challenge. But the sacred cantatas are wonderful. My favorite is Cantata #147.

Lovely! If I had to choose only one composer to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be Bach.

[Peet]

What? No Bach?

Good question!

An aside: Would Alex have been a very different kind of droogie if he had been into J.S.Bach instead?

[Albion Wilde]

I don’t understand your reference. What is a droogie, and who is Alex?

[dr_lew]

The reference is to A Clockwork Orange. Alex is the leader of a small gang, and he loves Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. By bad luck, this is the music that is played in his aversion therapy, so he can’t bear to listen to it anymore.

As to the question, I don’t think Mozart would have worked for the story.

[dr_lew]

... or Bach!

[Albion Wilde]

Oh — I haven’t seen A Clockwork Orange since it first came out — that will tell you how old I am!

Mozart wouldn’t have worked in that film. But Mozart wrote a most magnificent requiem! And lots of other sublimely beautiful stuff.

Oh — I haven’t seen A Clockwork Orange since it first came out — that will tell you how old I am!

I read the book YEARS before the movie was made.

I’d suggest that instead of the movie if you’re a reader. It can be found online with a little diligence. ISTR finding it at gutenberg.org but I may be wrong.

“Liberals have decided that “separation of church and state” is in the constitution.

Along with rights to abortion and homosexual marriage, and other penumbras from which we can find a constitutional right to anything liberals desire.”

And....

It’s our own fault. Military personnel and others take an oath to prosecute against all enemy of the Constitution, foreign or domestic, equally. But, it is a basic duty of citizenship to do so as well.

We, all of us, refuse to stand up to that duty. The long and successful campaign of the destructionists in all their forms and formats is no ones’ fault but our own.

[onedoug]

Atheist or agnostic? C’mon.

[Publius]

I’m atheist, but I’m not religious about it.

[onedoug]

Not to be argumentative, but it's difficult, despite the lack of a deity, to view atheism as opposed to, "5. any object of conscientious regard and pursuit: as, cleanliness was a religion to him." (Webster's New World Dictionary (1957).

Though to you, who harbors this belief in atheism, none of this matters?

The let live part of “Live and let live” escapes militant left wing fascists of all stripes.
