Most people here, such as me, are acting like idiots (Note how I included myself). In our current society, we should have enough understanding of our differences that we are capable to get along. But instead, we babble on without regard of what is actually important. There are greater matters to attend to than religion. Surely we can just accept that we have differing opinions and move on? It's not like in our current day and age that religion plays a great role in our lives (for most of us). If you feel like choosing a "side", then do so. It is none of my business, or anyone else's. In a world where freedom of speech is thought to exist, we should not have to badger one another over whom's opinion is dominant.

Theism & Atheism & Agnostics
THAT is the title, are you implying that we are creating an argument? And to be honest NO, it is probably the most important discussion.
Religion is based on
faith, faith is dependent on
lack of evidence. Lack of evidence allows bad
things to be done. Yes, I said bad, because any illogical reasoning is a bad one. For the reason that you do something without proper reason is where you take the wrong step, no matter how you put it.
For this reason I am saying that, without logic we can say whatever we want and let it happen.
In Africa they still do witchburnings, if I were, say, a normal person who doesn't get along with people (for obvious reasons) and one of them accuses me of being a witch, what's going to happen? Beaten till confession, burned, tortured. And etc.
Right now they say 2012 could happen, you know
why they can say this without worrying of being caught out? Because there is no way to
disprove it.
They said "the Spanish burnt the Mayan books thinking it was Devil's Work" etc and etc. But really, how would they be so advanced? And they haven't really any evidence other than that, it could've been made up, and you may never get to see what their evidence is because "it's too important"... Eh? See where I'm going?
As a logical and morale person, this is not right, nor fair to anyone. The people who are also brought into whatever religion they are brought into can also be living a giant lie. Children are naive at such young ages, and thus, believe what you tell them. When they're older, their belief is
unbreakable, causing a never ending argument. Despite our proof of the world being older than 6,000 years old (Christian belief), they just wear their Ignorance Armor and babble on saying God this God that xD

I'm finished sorry about that.
