Description
Now, before acting like a fucking dumbass, read the entire description.Why? It taught us values.
Granted, it may have but it also taught us hatred and intolerance towards people, see the big past for example, salem witch trials, Templar crusades.
It won't get rid of anything!
Yes, it may not but it would get greatly reduce bigotry, racism, sexism and all the other things, and we'd be less divided. And yes, there'd still be jackasses around like Stalin for example but at least less people would've died, because we'd have less motivations for things like the Holocaust, WBC, etc.
And what would this exactly accomplish?
We'd have advanced research, space travel, cures for deadly diseases (stem cell research), ability to regrow limbs (stem cell research) and many things stem cell research would have.
And what would we lose?
Holidays and death tolls, to be honest, it sounds like a fair trade, especially since I don't celebrate holidays.
I'm not saying that religion has caused all problems, I'm just saying that we could do without it because mankind used it wrong, and if you want to do it right, just focus on love and tolerance (no pony reference intended) instead.

If people claiming to have seen God in near-death experiences is proof God exists than every deity in history exists. Hell, Greek mythology is eyewitness accounts of their deities. Personal anecdotes is not evidence.

Tbh I guess I'm not really "Catholic"- I believe in the Catholic God, but I believe He basically every God- it's hard to explain, really, but in a way I believe in every God, like every God together is the one God I believe in, if that makes sense.
So I dont look at a Muslim person and think "they're wrong for believing in Allah", because in a sense I believe in the same God.
So if people claim to have seen God I believe them. I understand they might lie but I have no reason to assume they did- they are innocent until proven guilty.
Those are just my personal beliefs though.

Well out of the thousands of religions that exist the fact that you think yours is correct is pretty arrogant.

Well the fact that you think you're always right is even more arrogant, kiddo.
And you don't really know my personal beliefs. It's arrogant to assume you do.

And you don't know what my personal beliefs are, my friend. Therefore you can't really call them stupid ; )
Gosh it's so cute how you think you know everything ! Just like my 3 year old little cousin !

It says you're 16 on your profile. Also the fact that you believe in a magical sky daddy makes you more like a 3 year old than me. That's like still believing Santa Clause. Β

The fact you think you're always right and so much better than anyone makes you very immature.
Honestly you're stupidity is starting to bore me. Hope you get help with your little problems.
Not trying to trigger you or anything but I'll pray for you ; )

Because that's what actually matters. Hitler did some good things. He was a great painter. He was a vegan and an animal rights activist. He also pulled Germany out of an economic rut. But you wanna know what else he did? Kill 6 million fucking Jewish people.Β

You completely missed the point. Just because someone does something good does excuse the bad things that they've done. The good things in the bible don't excuse the bad things.Β

This stamp is cringeworthy. Clearly the creator neglects that:
>Only %7 of all wars in history combined have been fueled by religion. In fact the first Crusade was the only real Crusade not fueled by political, economic, and social turmoil. (Burning of Constantinople anyone? You know, when devote Christians attacked other devout Christians? )
>Josepf Stalin, Mao Zadong, the Kim family, Poe Pot, and plenty of others have committed genocide without religion. (I can argue all day that Hitler wasn't a Christan, but I would like to give the conclusive examples.)
>Sir Issaic Newton, Louis Pascal, and even Werhner Von Brahn (the guy who made NASA) were all religious.
>Darwin himself believed in God and even stated that he believed God created evolution.
>68-70% of all Nobel Peace Prize recipients are religious.
>Dr.Martin Luther King Jr, enough said
π: 0 β©: 1
>That's still a huge amount of wars
>They didn't kill people because of their atheist beliefsΒ
>Steven Hawking, Albert Einstein, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, Nikola Tesla. All atheist and all are considered some of the smartest people in history.Β
>Your point?
>10% were atheists, in a time where calling yourself an atheist was like calling yourself Satan himself.Β
>Hitler was a christian, enough said.Β

>Yeah, it's called human nature. Fighting is in our basic instincts. I suppose I should consider the animu dweeb to be capable of realizing this with all his edgy shonen shit, however I must say I am not surprised that you fail to realize the fallacy and hypocrisy of your own arguments being that you're white knighting for a stamp such as this.
>Yes, they did. Stalin, Mao Zadong, Poe Pot, and the Kims have all condemned religious people to death based on their 'transgressions against the state'.
>Einstein was not atheist, he was agnostic you moron. Also Richard Dawkins is not a scientist, his 'work' is based on what he assumes Darwin wrote about. Tesla was religious, it is only after people like Marconi screwed him over that he became atheist.Β Also I never stated you cannot be intelligent and not have a religious viewpoint, that statement would be an absurdity. However, the notion that religious people have never contributed to science, and don't today is as much as a fairy-tale as you believe religion to be.
>Atheists, (even though I have friends who are atheist and I don't consider them among these war atrocity carrying out bastards), have killed far more people than you can even compare the Crusades or the Salem Witch Trials to.
>You're an idiot, Von Brahn was around in the Atomic Era, way past separation of Church and State was won.
>Hitler was was as every bit of a 'Christian' as Stalin was Orthodox, and Mao Zadong was Buddhist. Hitler used the church simply to promote his radical ideologies, in fact his second in command, Heinrich Himmler was neo-pagan.

>If religion wasn't holding us back war would be completely unnecessary. Why should I take the furfag seriously?
>No they didn't. That's a flat out lie.Β
>Agnostic is a state of knowledge, not belief dumbass. Everyone is agnostic you fucking moron. He didn't believe in a higher power, so that makes him atheist. Religions are simply fairy tail stories. Religious scientists no a days a so rare that they might as well not even exist.Β
>That wasn't my fucking point. I meant the backlash from the people at the time, not the government taking action against him.Β
>Stalin never claimed to be Orthodox. He simply didn't care about religion, atheist, or any belief for that matter. Buddhism isn't a religion you fuckwit.Β

This stamp is for self-centered people because there are people who do follow religion and just because of this small group who doesn't follow religion doesn't mean nobody can follow it.

Maybe Christians aren't the best people (As me, being a Christian, I don't bash anyone based on their gender, sexuality, religion, etc. I only bash them by their acts.), but getting rid of this religion won't solve shit, dude. It will cause many more problems that there were before.
And also, you didn't need to fucking highlight that "rid", because everyone is going to see it.
Of course, I could've bashed you if you were a Christian and said that "atheists suck" or "gays fucking disgust me". Everyone IS a person.
And Christians only believe in God.
I've never seen a Christian bashing someone by their sexuality.
Show me one, first.
if there is any Christian out there that does that, they really should fucking stop. It's NOT normal.
Being anti-Christianity/Religion = Being homophobic
Being homophobic = Being against human rights.
period.

No. People would still find ways to be hateful, immoral, jerk faces.
The only thing that will change will be that people will do all this horrible stuff in the name of atheism.

Well think about it. If people were going to get rid of religion, they'd be hated by the religious. Also, trying to get rid of religion is like trying to make everyone an atheist. I know it's wrong for people to go around converting atheists into a religion (Christianity in most cases), but atheists going around converting religious people (Christians in most cases) into atheists is no different. Even without religion, there's still many other ways to do horrible things.
