Lets Bash Religion...or Not

[RexoftheFord]

Yeah, I'll probably get reported for this, but whatever. I see posts constantly trying to degrade religion. Not as a way through which a person understands the origins of the world or their purpose though, but through the minority populations of the religion or individuals distorting the purpose of religion. I think it's kind of stupid to purposely bash religion constantly, considering a lot of great things have come out of religious principles. But whatever. I don't like religious institutions, and I hate all propaganda. Religious or Atheist. My mind isn't for sale,rent, or lease.

Personally I find both extremes to be entirely retarded. Those dead certain of all religious principles or those dead certain all religions are wrong. Both extend into illogical thinking on both ends.

But what do you think? Feel free to talk. If you look at my profile, free speech is a thing I like. But please provide some solid evidence.

I don't quite understand this.

I don't quite understand this.

What's not to understand? Just talk. You can bash religion if you want. You can support religion if you want. You can support a moderation. Or you can just sit out.

This is an area of free speech. I've merely offered my view.

It seems that religion threads have replaced the political threads recently.

Those are my only thoughts on the topic.

All things in moderation. I'm a mildly religious man, not a saint or anything, but I believe in the basic tenants of Catholicism. I'm kind of annoyed by anti-theists constantly making blanket statements about my faith, especially when they have no fucking clue what they're talking about.

Edit: oh, he's saying that it's alright for people to start Bashing one-another about religion, yeah, that's much better...

It is just one of these waiting to happen. That is all.

If you truly believe your poster, provide some evidence that actual religious principles cause the collapse of the economy and that pure human stupidity didn't do so.

Humans are conscious. That everyone would agree with. I think that because we are conscious we have an imperative to learn. Anything that holds people back from learning and discovering the truth is my enemy. As such, religious fundamentalists who preach credulity deserve to be attacked on their principles.

I don't think any atheist "knows for sure" that God doesn't exist. That extends into anti-theism. Atheists are usually the "scientist" type, meaning that, for now, our current theories like evolution, big bang, etc., are much more likely than a God. If evidence to the contrary were presented, and if the theories we accept could be broken down, most atheists would probably convert. But we find that this hasn't occurred yet.

If religion were a pie, I would say it'd be custard. In your face Theists.

 

[RexoftheFord]

Again, this is just a free speech area. I've dropped my perspective on the issue. You can bash religion, support it, come to a moderate view.

Do whatever really.

Haha, you said "But please provide some solid evidence"... Was that intentional? Did you do that on purpose? Sneaky, sneaky.

It's intentional. I don't want a pointless flame war. I want intelligent discussion, which I know is a long shot on the internet

Lol. Can you read? It says the republicans ran the economy down, not Christianity. By the way, Avykins, i think you are an insensitive asshole, and i admire you because of it. :)

It opened with the whole Christianity is a joke thing. I thought it was a continuity thing. But ok anyway.

Something cannot happen for no reason. So the Big Bang just happening can't be valid. Something had to generate it for the universe to start. If that's your theory of choice that is.

Are you sure? You seem to have misunderstood... you said "But please provide some solid evidence" in a thread about Religion... See?
