Why do we get so much hate?

Atheism IS a religion, itself.

@"8=============D", I'll go ahead and quote Bill Maher on this one. "Atheism is a religion like abstinence is a sex position."

Any form of theism is a religion, even the absence of it, was how Richard Dawkins put it. Not in the mood for a debate though, I was just replying to OP, trying to help him with his confusion. And I'll just end this now with an "I love you for who you are". .

Don't worry, man. I'm in the same boat as you. I'm not exactly in the mood for an endless debate right now, either. I just wanted to bring up that quote.

If you don't believe what the school wants you to believe they punish you/people look down on you. By school I didn't just mean your teachers and principle.

@Color there is ample evidence to support the "claim" of their being no god. I know for a fact that no god worshiped on this earth exists, and I can prove it. I'm at work so I don't have time to type out a long explanation, I might just make it it's own thread sometime very soon. To summarize though, every religion is filled with non sense, perversion, violence, hatred and illogical and contradictory literature. You really have no argument, you look silly by defending religion because it's littered with silly things.

your post offends me. you don't have to believe it. just don't bash it.

 

[Ironhide]

Because people are ignorant little fucks.

@Shrink, that's completely fine if it offends you, the fact that it offends you means nothing. I will continue to bash religion, because is responsible for many deaths, violence, hatred, genital mutilation, political corruption, molestation and indoctrination/brainwashing of children. Religion is the most damaging, harmful thing that has ever touched humanity. @Shrink, these are all facts that you cannot argue.

@8=============D

You have a tattoo of the cross on your arm? You do realize that is a sin and the bible directly says NOT to get tattoos. You are the definition of a sheep; one who is ignorant of their own religion. You are the worst kind of believer, you fucking moron, I despise people like you. Excuse my harsh words. The irony in this is just too much. This is why your religion gets made fun of, you do it to yourself. Please, go read the bible before you put such an embarrassing label on yourself. I promise by the time you're done reading it you'll be an Atheist, unless you are a terrible human being.

believe whatever you want m8. you just make yourself look like a joke by bashing religions.

 

[Nevermind]

your post offends me. you don't have to believe it. just don't bash it.

If your beliefs can't withstand the bashing, you shouldn't believe them in the first place. Any belief you hold should be able to hold up against criticism.

Never said im going to stop being a christian just because he doesn't like religion.

Religions, just like any other subjects, are open to be criticized by anyone. We need not act like they are untouchable, because they are not.

@Shrink, do what you should have done before you started calling yourself a "Christian" and read the bible cover to cover. Maybe after you read all of the fairytale bullshit and hateful, violent scripture it has in it you will understand why it is so heavily criticized. I bet you'll become an atheist by the time you're done reading it. You seem to be oblivious to the harm religion causes even after I presented some examples. You're ignorant of what you represent. You aren't even a true Christian, you're just a pawn on the chess board; a sheep. You're pathetic and your lack of intelligence and disgression disgusts me. In your defense, you were probably indoctrined (brainwashed) as a child. Educate yourself and stop being part of the problem.

it's not that deep. opinions are opinions.

I'm going to try wording this as delicately as possible. Most Christians/Muslims/Jews view atheists as threats to their faith. Not directly, because nothing you say will ever sway them, but it's kind of like someone with leprosy, we just avoid them at all costs. Don't hang around them/acknowledge them/etc. And in a world where non-seculars are just above homosexuals on the minority scale (I think 6% of the world is gay, 6% of non-Asian people are atheists), it's not hard to believe that you're going to be shunned. I personally keep my faith to myself. Yes, I have a tattoo of the cross on my left arm, but I don't wear it like a badge of belief. The problem with most atheists I know (personally) is that most (not all) of them go out of their way to express themselves verbally when a believer says anything involving their faith, even if not in a preachy way. Atheism IS a religion, itself. I mean, you kind of know that when even Richard Dawkins and Seth MacFarlane don't want to be labeled as atheists. That groundwork out of the way, I'll just say that I don't preach my faith. I don't insist on others preaching theirs. I keep my mouth shut, I expect atheists to do the same. Also, when you say the Lord's name in vein, which is something my faith holds dear, and I don't say anything, I feel you don't have a right getting mad when I say a prayer or something like "bless you". That's hypocritical. We're all members of the same race, on the same rock, at the same time. We can and will have to co-exist until the end of time and the general topics in this forum threaten that peace, which is why I'm still for getting rid of it entirely. It's supposed to be intellectual debating, but 90% of the time someone gets angered or offended, only causing harm to the community and animosity among its members.

Also, I'm not saying that atheists are lepers, so don't give me shit for that lmao.

You literally contradicted your doctrine 4 times in that one paragraph, probably more. The most annoying type of religious folks are the ones who know nothing of what they are suppose to believe yet proclaim it as truth. It's silly you even call yourself a Christian because you follow such a trivial portion of your inflexible dogma and pervert it to fit your agenda. You cannot cherry-pick doctrine.

Any form of theism is a religion, even the absence of it, was how Richard Dawkins put it. Not in the mood for a debate though, I was just replying to OP, trying to help him with his confusion. And I'll just end this now with an "I love you for who you are". .

Theism nor atheism are religions. They have no correlation to religion. Richard Dawkins did not say atheism was a religion nor does he represent atheists.

Contact the ACLU and tell them to send a letter to the school, they will DEFIANTLY see the flaw in their ways.

Were you wearing a fedora with the jacket?
