So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked
I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend.
I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

You created gunpowder and guns and allowed me to shoot a girl in the head for wanting to learn all those devil teachings you figured out.
Yours,
Religion
Religion is an idea, a way of life. Especially in Abrahamic religions, it teaches people of a group they're better than other people of a different group.
Religion, by definition, teaches people to eschew rational thought and take things on faith while usually ignoring actual, indisputable, real-world evidence. Add irrational passion into THAT mix and that's when trouble happens.
What is in the "heart" of man? Easy, what did religion put there?
Tim McAdam, you're right, we should be more specific on the usage of the term religion.
per "define religion" in Google:
re·li·gion/riˈlijən/
Noun:
1. The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods.
2. Details of belief as taught or discussed.
For the sake of this discussion I think we can all agree to these definitions.
But I believe you're right, anything that brings peace to the (proverbial) soul can be defined as a religion. For some it would be playing golf, for others it might be wilderness hiking and others still it might be automechanics.
:o)
"Religion is an idea, a way of life. Especially in Abrahamic religions, it teaches people of a group they're better than other people of a different group."
Would that make Sheldon a religion? LOL!
Wiki states that religion is a way to tie humanity to spirituality. That sounds like a good start, and precludes greed from being a religion. Greed could be a tenant of a religion, but greed itself is not.
greed toward something is a form of idol worship... you may not be "praying" to it , but it is what you might be "worshiping" and sometimes basing your life worth on or putting your "faith" in....
Blair Warner religions may espouse those values but actions speak louder than words and their actions are usually the opposite of their words.
