Ditching religion was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life, honestly. To each their own, of course. My life is much richer without the claptrap of religiosity and I don’t need other peoples’ random rules to find soulfullness. So no thanks on the pity. When people try to change my mind, a discussion ensues. No harm, no foul. For those who think it’s wrong to try to change someone’s belief system, well that’s just ridiculous right? Who on this planet anymore follows their race or culture’s original religion? If you’re a caucasian does this mean you ought to be a Nordic pagan? It’s likely Jesus was raised in the Kabbalah tradition since it’s an ancient Jewish belief and he was an ancient Jew. Should only those from the Middle East be Jews and Muslims and Christians? Only Asians should be Buddhist? Silliness, right?

Re the posts against religion, I have to honestly say that I am sad that so many people apparently think we are just random soulless beings on the Earth for no reason whatsoever. I’m sorry that you think it’s better to “ditch the religion” when people grow up, than to have your own spiritual beliefs and good feeling for the other souls in the world, and that we do have a purpose here. Sounds like some have had a bad experience with religion. If so, please don’t blame those of us who have had joy from our own spiritual beliefs. This has nothing to do with “church”.

As far as Madonna imposing her beliefs on them, I think it’s wrong to try to change another nation’s aboriginal beliefs; i.e., the “white man’s burden”. It’s disrespectful.

“wacky religions” do much of the charity work overseas. Sure, they’re promoting their beliefs but as I posted before: If children are surviving and thriving, the metaphysics seem far less important. If Malawi decides to turn away Kabbalahlists (not sure it that’s a real word) charity, wouldn’t they be obliged to turn away other religions for the same reason? What would make one religion’s charity more valuable than another’s? That just doesn’t make sense, esp. given the dire straits they are in. I’m sure they’re grateful for any help and international attention to their plights. I don’t care about Madonna or believe in religion. Philosophy is best discussed with a well-fed belly, regardless of where the food comes from.

*sigh* It’d be nice to see he do something genuinely good with no strings (red or not) attached.

Hi MissMara,

I appreciate the note but I have no interest in stalking anyone, much less her Madgesty. Face it, Madge does what she does for media attention. Can we say she is the least bit “controlling?” Her poor husband.

“Madge, I’d love to see her do something without a camera around.” -Mr.T

“What’s the difference between believing in Kaballah or whatever other religion preceded it? It’s all just superstition. ” -trillion

Well I am no proponent of Religion either but if Madonna’s motivation is to convert these children to Kaballah she needs to be stopped by the people of Malawi. Last I checked the White Man’s Burden Theory got disproved so she needs to turn around and go back to her stupid palace in England and stop capitalizing on the unfortunate to promote her wacky religion.

Madge, I’d love to see her do something without a camera around. Let’s see her move from jolly old England and live in Africa for 5 years and do some actual charitable work. Face it, Madge is a limousine liberal. What is the sound of Madge in the wilderness without a camera bulb flashing?

What’s the difference between believing in Kaballah or whatever other religion preceded it? It’s all just superstition. Hopefully, when kids grow up they will ditch it or keep it according to their own judgement. As long as these children are getting help and Madonna possibly inspires people to look into adoption, they are the real winners.

Oh please Jesse, I hope she actually hires people with degrees to run it.
She’s not that smart.
