PKarco Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I was thinking about it a few minutes ago while eating a packet of ramen. Sure, you could think about it from a simplistic point of view like "gangz r bad, they kill peeple!", but then again look at all the religious based wars and "crusades" in history. They both follow a code of conduct of some type. They both are always actively recruiting new members. They both have specific things to wear and not to wear. They both like making people uncomfortable. But, I think I'm relating this more to tribalism or something, considering you could compare similarities between any groups of people.

Otter Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 ...size? Purpose as well, obviously, and tradition. Are Republicans and Democrats closer to gangs or religious groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. House Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) f*cking the daughters of religious group leaders is dangerous because they're usually hot blonde and innocent and you might get caughtt and end up seen like a James Dean rebel. f*cking the daughters of gangbangers is dangerous because you're probably going to end up without a brain case. That's the main and only real difference. Edited March 9, 2014 by Myron universetwisters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iiGh0STt Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Otter said it pretty well. Tradition and History are a huge role in religion. Gangs were only started to defend their own areas or businesses. However, both are equally corrupt, and stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDagger Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 They both like making people uncomfortable. ...no, not really. And anyway, you can't say 'religions kills people' when all it is is people using it as an excuse to slaughter people they don't like. Plus you could throw in a load of other differences and suddenly they're not all that similar - it's surprising what happens when you pick what to compare, isn't it?

Misbegotten cad Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Religious groups use spiritual violence and threats, while gangs use physical violence and threats. For example, the protection racket: -church demands we give them ten percent of our earnings. And if we refuse, we will end up in eternal damnation!!! This protection racket is used my most religious groups to gain money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This protection racket is used my most religious groups to gain money. Um... not sure what religion this is where the universal law is you give 10% of your earnings or go to Hell.... I'm Christian and I know for a fact that any Christian church saying that is hypocritical of their own teachings both through condemning someone and forcing them to give 10% with a threat. (Which by the way for all of you out there, not every Christian church is like that. If you think that, you're running off of stereotypes like the rest of society does. Be smarter than your average Joe.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil weasel Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) the tithe is a 'standard'. God allows you to work so you kick back 10% of your GROSS earnings. Then the Church can pay its debts, the minister and other expenses. Rarely does the tithe make it to 'Charity'. That's a separate box/collection. How does your religious organization pay its bills? What do you think the 'pass the plate' is about. The really serious church's have the 'plate' as a sealed box on a long stick shoved under your nose by the Usher. I've even heard of church's locking the doors until the collections is made. (Pure hearsay.) GOD will punish you if you don't ante up! I agree it is a shakedown just like the protection racket run by gangs. If a church is truly spiritual it doesn't need your money. But the ministers/priests do need to eat, without working for it. I do remember that in the days of old each parishioner family had to feed the church leader in rotation of course. Something you don't need to do with a gang.

universetwisters Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Way I see it, some religions get you to kill people in other religions. However, some gangs get you to kill people in other gangs. What a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember that in the days of old each parishioner family had to feed the church leader in rotation of course. Something you don't need to do with a gang. But as I was saying, you're not condemned for not giving 10% of your earnings. it's not a law in the Bible, although God does encourage it. The church I go to (Like many others) basically say, "We are going to take tithe next song, if you feel like giving or you know God wants you to give, then go ahead, but if you need it to pay your bills, don't give. We would rather you pay your bills than give to us." Yes, my church does pass around a basket using Ushers, but they don't give you funny looks if you don't pay. They don't talk bad about you either. How do I know this? I'm a part time Usher at my church. The reason I say that those who condemn you for not tithing are being hypocritical is because Christians, by their own book (Which is their guideline for life in general), aren't allowed to condemn someone for doing something wrong because the Christians themselves are just as bad. Being Christian is about being far from perfect and admitting it. (Well, that's one part of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil weasel Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Proverbs 3:9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce; Malachi 3:8-10 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse Leviticus 27:30 “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord's; it is holy to the Lord. Genesis 14:20 And blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” And Abram gave God a tenth of everything. Christians often make judgements better left to God in the name of God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Gangs generally traffick and deal drugs, and kill people. Most religious groups don't do that, at least not anymore. Sure, there are a few batsh*t insane churches and people out there, but they don't represent the whole religion. Also, your fedora is showing OP.
