Hammer and sickle? Interesting… isn’t your left earlobe a little bleeding for the tens of millions killed (and being killed) under this banner?

Just discovered your blog Giorgio. I happen to be a (bearded) guy who’s into religions and computer security! Though I’m not a commy nor an evolutionist (anymore at least), I respect commies for their stand on Palestine’s side and being brave enough to do what the *** Arab leaders couldn’t, like Chavez kicking the Israeli ambassador.

Thanks for the info and keep up the good work ^^

As a reaction to your statement on Marx I was (again) sad that there is so little follow up in the analytical sense primarily because of the huge and heavy ideological use of his thoughts labeled as "scientific". Then I realized that for about a year I have come across Niklas Luhmann (1927-1998), which I would count as a true follow-up, although not in the sense that he presents himself that way. I am only a beginner on this and it's not an easy read. Unfortunately what seems to be the simplest text is only in German: Einführung in die Systemtheorie. A nice informational site with downloadable learning software is German too. You could look at this but it is not very informative.

@Victor:
Here I define myself as a “marxian”.
I’m still convinced that Mr. Karl Marx produced the most valid and useful scientific analysis of human societies, and provided powerful tools to understand most our social reality, our past, our present and to plan our future.

You’re not quite clear about what your present thoughts on Marx are. I like it if there are still some around.

@Sirdarckcat:
There was no menace in this chain.
However, wearing my hat of Venerable Archibishop of the glorious Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I officially bless your involvement and free you from any curse.
RAMEN.

hahaha
oh wait, I have this:
http://cybour.50webs.com/elimbu/what_is_elimbu.htm

And also another one from the FSM, http://pastafari.desinformados.net/ but it’s in spanish :S.. the translation is more or less:

Someone has detected that you forward to many chains for fear to the menaces they predict. That’s the reason he has contacted the venerable pastafarian monks guardians of the magnificent Flying Spaghetti Monster. Only you and a few other cursed were selected to receive this ancient pastafarian manuscript.

With the reading of it, you are absolved of all curses received for the non-sending of chains that you could have done in the past, and could do in the future. The great god will ward for your health giving you lots of blessings every time you decide to break a chain. This blessing will endure for your whole life, and for generations and generations.

So from now on, it wont be needed to forward chains, because the evilness inside them wont affect you anymore, And if you decide to fall in the temptation of forwarding an email, remember that the FSM is watching you at all times, and that betraying him would mean that a curse that no one in this world has suffer because of it’s extreme cruelty, would fall on you.

Remember, don’t forward chains, the Spaghetti is watching you.

muahaha!!

So.. Im afraid of the FSM cursing me with his noodly appendage, what should I do!!

@Gareth Heyes:
exactly my first reaction.
Then I decided to retaliate against the innocent, since it’s the way the world goes nowadays.

No way.

Regarding #2:

I’m in a similar boat. I was raised in a quaint little American sub-religion called "Independent Fundamental Southern Baptist" rather than Catholic, but the end result was similar. My daughter (3) hasn’t started asking about God or such things yet, but I know it can’t be far off.

The only idea I have right now is to actually try to provide her with as many different reference points to different religions as I can, and to, most importantly, try to instill in her enough self confidence that she doesn’t look to one as a crutch to help her feel "worthy". From there, if she sees something in a religion that she can’t get in any other way, I’ll likely just go along with it.

Of course, that is just a plan. Who knows what will happen for real? :)
