Mmmm. Well, I was citing them as the ones that you hear the most about. If I mentioned some wierd little faith no one's ever heard about, like the one based on the "Matrix" movies, people would say "WTF" and ignore my post.

thats fine i just wanted to clarify the truth about the religion through the stereotypes... you are definitely right that some Mormons are pushy, full of themselves, think they are better than all other religions, and try to get into their lives... but most arent.

OOC: whoever badrepped me for this... WTF? backoff... :D

I'm afraid that you're right. Everybody thinks they're right, but can't prove it. Christians hold up the Bible and say that God made it and is telling us to do this and that. Athiests just say: "Nope. You're wrong, I'm right." Or at least most do. I don't get the point of religion. All it does is give us another reason to hate each other. The world uniting is an impossible dream.

Then those Atheists are idiots and I want nothing to do with them. Any decent Atheists should have no problem in finding the evidence (of which there is plenty) to win almost any argument.

Lately a lot of threads seems to be focusing on religion, either aspects of it or particular beliefs.

Every time it seems to result in some form of Christian Atheism slanging match and it has caused me to think what I am about to say.

Atheists continually push that to believe in a god or follow a religion is to be lacking in intelligence and are blinded, that they see the truth and that they are the superior ones with their high levels of intelligence that prove that there can be no god.

However, that in itself is blind. To preach that those around you are following the wrong life and that they are acting in ways other than intelligent, surely that is exactly the same as the actions of some religions that you argue about so frequently?

"There is no god, to believe so is stupid"
"Thou shalt have not other gods before me"

Declaring other ways to be wrong and your own way to be right, isn't that exactly the type of thing you fight against?

I am an archaeologist, I have seen the evidence for evolution, I do geology, I have seen the evidence proving that the world is older that what religion would expect us to believe. Yet I don't force my opinions down the throats of everyone.

Some of those who claim to be of a higher intelligence than those following a religion are really only as blind as those they continuously criticise.

As for religon, I do not believe in god, does that mean I will go to hell? I don't know, afterall, if the Christian god is so loving and caring, how could he send people to hell who live good honest lives without worshipping him? What of those who are unaware of the existence of him and Christianity but instead live a humble life showing respect and honesty all their days, would that person be sent to hell?

Islam condones the murdering of innocent people in the name of Allah, those who kill are viewed as heroic, how can that be justified?

Some religions allow taking of multiple wives, some justify murder.

Religion causes war and conflict, people fight over their beliefs and die for them, but if you yourself fight for your faith, then how can you not see that the people you are fighting are doing the exact same thing? Are they not able to feel the same passion for their beliefs that you do?

Plus, if most religions think you will go to their version of hell for not believing and following them, doesn't that mean we are all damned to spend eternity suffering?

Maybe I can't really comment, I belong to neither side.

People who believe in their chosen gods are not all ignorant unintelligent blinded people, just as not all atheists are arrogant, forceful snobs with a superiority complex.

Extremsists are when the problem is.

Arrogance is just another form of ignorance and I think both sides need to take a step back and realise just how similar they both are before continuing to belittle each other.

Believe what you want to believe, follow your faith (applied to both sides since afterall atheism is a form of faith too is not? The belief that there is no god), but the least you can do is let others do the same.

Yeah and it needs to stop because im getting tired of athiests not respecting christanity. They are saying a lot of offensive remarks.
