That is a view I have never seen expressed by any sect of Christianity.

Pretty much everybody tells me that the bible is how you get to heaven, and that is the primary purpose.

You can read in other reasons, but calling what you just did "the whole point of the bible" is pretty silly.

“not being a poopy person” is pretty much the same as getting into heaven from a didactic point of view.

The view of believing that you are part of something great and eternal is essential to both.

Yet not supported by the bible or any sect of Christianity, so hardly "the entire point of the bible".

You do not need to believe you are part of something eternal to not be a bad person.

but it does work 99% of the time...

like it worked for me

Disagree.

In fact, I'd say it really doesn't do much at all in the grand scheme. Lots of Christian murderers, thieves, and greedy business owners.

Financial Times: "The foes of Alex Jones....are making him look respectable."

America's biggest free speech icon weighs in on Infowars ban, saying its wrong, and ZERO media outlets cover it. Almost like they have an agenda or something.

Alex Jones and the rise of corporate censorship
http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/alex-jones-and-the-rise-of-corporate-censorship/21658#.W3CNqsJ9j9K

"On one hand it is fashionable to hate capitalism...but on the other hand we seem content to trust Silicon Valley, the new frontier in corporate power, to make moral judgements about what kind of content people should be able to see online."

"It was a rash act of silencing carried out under pressure from a moralised mob that insisted Jones’ words are too wicked for public life. This isn’t the free market in action – it’s the bending of capitalist power to the end of enforcing moral controls on speech."

"Libertarians’ obsession with the state, their belief that things are only bad if the state does them, means they are incapable of arguing against capitalist authoritarianism, and in fact even support it on the basis that this is the free market (even though it isn’t)."

Vimeo just banned Alex Jones lol.

i don't understand why they would really want to ban him. He made his viewpoints and his constituents look so silly. He's just about the greatest advertisement for liberals that anyone could ever be.

He's just generally toxic, and now has several lawsuits (and more potentially coming) that could spillover to the content distributors in one way or another.

So you're saying that the idealogical differences between Jones and the brains behind these tech companies (who are liberals) is purely coincidence? this decision is about nothing more than trying to shed themselves of legal entanglement?

If that's what you are saying, I can definitely consider that as a possibility.
