why do people post anti-religion posts here?

Pages? I've maybe about 5-6 posts on a thread with 79+ total. Thanks for your diagnosis though, Dr. Phil...

Since when is a little debate on a topic a symptom of something unhealthy? The topic is "why do people post anti-religion posts here?" what would you expect? Maybe a bunch of christians dishing on why you think us heathens don't like christianity - you know we love the world and our sin so damn much, just ask the bible!

 

Yeah, because, you know, it only says about 1,000 times that we're going to hell to burn and be tormented for an eternity because we don't believe.

Sera, I'll keep a seat cold for you, OK?

 

The bible doesn't really say that, apart from a verse or two in revelation, and I think that Paul said some similar things though I could be mistaken. Who says that is the whaked out hateful fundi freaks, like these people http://graphics.jsonline.com/graphics/news/img/jan06/soldiers010706.jpg

Send them email here (well not email really, more like a guestbook thingie that they treat as email). Their responses are hilarious. http://www.godhatesfags.com/main/contact.html

Anyhow, Jesus never mentioned the burning and torture (because it's a load of bull) but it is essentially an adaptation by the early medieval church of the GASP!!, pagan Greek and Roman hades though it had other pagan sources as well. We'll never hear about Christians having "stolen" that one from the pagans now will we.

 

It all goes back to Nicea in 325. That's where Christianity made it's bad turn. And now, Constantine's empire is in it's last days, brought to financial ruin by it's own deception and deceit.

It's kind of like Nixon being in office for 1700 years and then watergate suddenly fell out of the sky. I for one am enjoying it. My question is, what will eventually replace Catholicism?

 

Because "people of faith "are so easy to rile,to answer the original question.

 

Skip, that's what I meant by:

Sorry, I sometimes speak in metaphor knowing full well that many of you are not fluent.

 

Some Christians and Muslims have greater faith in books than in the experiences that God has granted them.

They don't want to accept that their little idea of reality is incorrect. One time I argued with an older carpenter, thinking I was correct, when all along he was right about the way to calculate a certain measurement (I had taken some trigonometry at the time, and was basing my argument upon what I learned in a book, he was a carpenter with high school education (no trig) who had life experience). It's about paying attention to life.

Even you must believe there are other planets with life on them, with the likelyhood that some have very similar (maybe identical) ecosystems to earth. This isn't "it." Should do your best with it though.

The concept that God does not take care of us has caused nonbelievers ("believers" too, I know) of all types to engage in many acts that curtail our freedoms.

It's doomed? What's doomed? There is always an apocolypse right around the corner. Are you old enough to have been in the nuclear attack drills? My mom told me about them, totally silly.

Actually, they couldn't "turn it around", they did not have the wisdom necessary to know "better." The name "Jerusalem" means the teaching of peace, which is what this world is for. I don't expect the pre-school of eternal living to only be populated by fully enlightened beings.

Actually, we are technically made of star poop.

 

Because organized religion breeds more hate in this world than good will. Almost every war this world has ever known has in part been started over diagreements concerning religion. I don't think anyone could convince me that the world would NOT be a better place in the absense of religion. It creates psychos like this woman

Yipes!the sooner humans like that disappear off this planet ,the better we'll off all be.Certainly shows the power of brain washing.

 

Although I would never recommend doing such a thing --wouldn't it be interesting to slip several hits of your finer hallucinagenics in her coffee?

 

I disagree. Wars are started over the control of resources, with all groups (including religions) assuming they know the best way to control the resources.

 

When religion is finally overcome by enlightenment, then we all be better off for it.

But, as long as there are little people with little minds running around singing "Our God's Bigger Than Your God" with their self-righteous weapons of war, we will suffer the consequences of continual hatred and destruction all in the name of "saving souls" for some invisible man in the sky.

 

Fuzzy...is that you?

 

You sound like a reincarnation of a noted and now-banned member here, IMfuzzynuts.

 

It's certainly not a place for unfounded insults. try being nice and creative without insulting others.

 

No offense or sarcasm intended...I just got a chuckle thinking it might be fuzzy.
