Now you're probably opening this thinking "oh great another rant on religion", well you're right. But please keep reading on because what I have to say is important and applies to all beliefs, even if you don't have one.
Many religions now believe the world is going to end, soon. Basically they believe this because of "signs" and their precious magic books. Well the scary thing is the world could end soon, and religion could actually be its cause. The fact is, for the world to live on religion must die. Faith is nothing to brag about it, and people who accept faith, or preach it are just intellectual slaveholders. Religion has caused so much craziness and destruction and I think 9/11 is a great example, however I won't get into it much because of everything else I have to say.
Now, why is religion so powerful? Because it allows people who DON'T have the answer to what happens when we die to think they do. If you're a christian or any other religion you may think it's great to say "PLEASE GOD I'M WILLING! I'LL DO ANYTHING YOU ASK OF ME!" Well guess what, there are no gods talking to us so that void is filled in by corrupt and often hostile people.
This is why anti-religious rationalists must come out of the freakin closet and let themselves be heard. And for those of you who only consider yourselves "a little religious", is the safe feeling of believing in a religion worth the pain and destruction it causes? If you belonged to a social group that wasn't a religion that involved so much bigotry, homophobia, violence, and ignorance as religions you would quit the club and protest against it. And if the end of the world comes because of nuclear arms led by religious nut jobs... just remember what the true problem was. We found a way to end lives on a mass scale before we stopped wishing for it.
I think someone asked this? and the answer would be the one person however it's not like that with religion... in religion you have something called FOLLOWERS.
He's just repeating because nobody responded. But it most certainly is like that with religion. Are you telling me that if one person in a religion of 1,000 people killed someone, the whole religion and all other religions would be considered evil, simply because the religion has followers?
well first of all I love how it's sort of like a 3v1 debate while I have no help lol.

OMG, you mean like when this thread first started and it was just me against like 3 or 4!?!?!Please dont ask for pity were you wont get any. (sorry if this is a bit harsh but, well, the truth hurts.)

I asked that, but you didnt answer. but this is EXACTLY what you are doing with religions, a few people do bad things so you think the whole thing is bad.

If religion was their motive perhaps, it depends on the situation...
I didn't use it that way, if you're referring to me. Sorry for the confusion.
no it wasnt you, it was me and some moderator.

LMFAO did I ask for pity? and yes very christian of you by the way xD

Hmm, okay. Let's rephrase JJ52's question.
If one person in a club of 1,000 people killed someone based on their interpretation of the club's purpose, would you hate the entire club and all clubs like it, or just the person who made the misinterpretation?
for you maybe. =/
Then you get more thinking exercise, though! I love debating 3 or 4 people at once. It's more challenging
oh and another thing, the reason I hate religion isn't just because of the bad things either happening or did happen because of religion, it's because of what COULD happen... we've seen it before and now with modern day weapons who knows what could happen. People will do anything for what they perceive as "god" and that makes religion a very dangerous weapon waiting to be used by any nut who wants too.
He is a newb tard atheist i am a real atheist (actually prolly one in a million atheist) that respects other religions he is just asking for a punch in the face and a meaningless existence
If one person in a club of 1,000 people killed someone, would you consider the whole club and all of the clubs similar to it evil, or just the one person?
I would call that one person a murderer. It depends if the other embers agreed with it.

umm how am I doing that again? and I said a few times in this thread that I believe people have the right to believe what they want, and you can ask kirby to confirm that if you want.
