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.

You are a child.

I don't give a shit if he's an atheist. Β It's the "getting rid of religion" shit I find stupid. Β It's a public website and I can say what I please, darling.

I pointed out that the person who made this stamp has the opinion that we should get rid of religion. I don't actually agree with them, even though I'm an atheist, but I'm not going to call them a child over it. That just makes me look stupid and doesn't help my opinion at all.

Oh I see. Β Wish I left that out.

I do agree with you, though. Religion may have done some bad things, but there's no reason to get rid of it.
Although some scientists predicted that religion will be gone by 2025.
π: 0 β©: 1
Only twelve years? Β That's a bit optimistic. Β Funny thing is, I read it'll be gone in 2041 just today.

Well, either way, its eventually going to go away, so there's no point in throwing fits about it now.

Science declared evolution as "fact" But broke all the rules of science to declare such a thing, since none alive have ever witnessed evolution, then it must then be replicated as is required to be called a fact as far as science is concerned. So why would they call it fact when it has not met the requirements? Well, because they are trying to stamp it "approved" box it and and sell it as the correct way of thinking. And just like many religions they broke their own rules to do that, and have been banging the drum louder than any religion ever since. One Scientist even said "Evolution is correct because its the only thing scientists are studying." In other words "We win because we are popular 'Among the tiny scientist community' not because we're right"
To me this sound fanatical, this whole "Its a 'fact' just cuz..." is embarrassing as a TV evangelist coning people for money. So by rights, some main stream evolutionary defenders are behaving just like disciples of a bad religion, telling you to believe even though it hasn't actually been proven as fact, that's called "BLIND FAITH" and its despicable, so should be abolished as any religion by your set standards.

What about hope? What about the idea that when you die, you won't be nothing? What about the fact that the idea of a God who cared about me was the only thing that kept me from killing myself a year ago?

You can have faith without an organized religions with a set of scriptures and rules.
Religions destroys faith.

And who gave you the right to decide that? Religion doesn't work for everybody, but it works for me. Don't take something you hate away from everybody.

Faith in a God that is good is one thing, but believing in the God who is in the Bible and calling him good it hypocritical.
π: 0 β©: 1
How? And I don't believe literally in the Bible. I believe that Jesus lived, died and was raised, but I don't believe that there should be no Homosexuality and I also don't believe in sacrifices.

And how exactly will you get rid of religion? By forcing your opinions on other people?
π: 0 β©: 2
There is a study that states that religion could be gone by the year 2025. So, technically, s/he won't have to do anything.
π: 0 β©: 0
So according to you it's fine to force your opinions down someones throat as long as you're not
religious... that will so not happen
π: 0 β©: 1
No, according to me, I was agreeing with you on how hypocritical this whole thing is. It did kinda look like I was answering your question
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, it did look that way. It's nice to see that someone agrees with me ^^

You're in the same boat as the USSR, Communist China, and North Korea, are you not? Not very good company.

forcing people to stop being religious is the same exact thing as forcing people to BE religious.

true dat. people have the right to be idiot as much as they have the right to be smart.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait a minute are you calling religious people idiots and atheists smart or are you just using smart and idiot as an example?
π: 0 β©: 1
that was just one example.
π: 0 β©: 1
Uh-huhβ¦do you know how many societies have tries that very thing with no avail?
π: 0 β©: 0
That is impossible since there are other non-Christian religions out there that are not heard of. even if you force it out of people they will find a way to worship whatever the hell they believe in.

Considering that fact religion has been around longer that research, space travel and cures for diseases...I disagree.
Religion has been around longer than most modern science techniques (Well duh), so you can't walk into the house of someone who's religious and tell them what they believe in is wrong without looking like a douchebag.
And not every person who believes in something that isn't scientific or necessarily logical is an idiot. There ARE people who ARE religious and total douchebags, but it doesn't always have to go with religion. Atheists can be douchebags, too. And both sides choose to base it off their choice of subject on the matter. Religion isn't a disease, in fact, it's always nice to believe there's someone who does these things to test you, make you better, and who loves you. For people who are socially awkward or alone, this can be vital. Walking up to them and telling them their God doesn't exist makes you worse then you portray them to be. Religion just makes people feel important. you don't need to give everyone a "reality check" if their lives are working out. If they aren't harming anyone, why do you care? Not every religious person is the spawn of Hitler.
You're targeting something many people hate when those people overall actually aren't idiots. Neither are atheists, but that's what you're portraying them as. Religion got us into the tough shit, but so did a lot of other things.
Religion causes death tolls to rise: please tell me you are trolling right now. Just because a serial killer is a Christian makes the religion a slaughter. Atheists kill people too, believe it or not. and a lot of people celebrate holidays, you don't have to ruin it for the rest of us. Honestly.
And racism or sexism doesn't always revolve around religion. some people are just like that.
Also, I don't see how your argument made you look any less of a dumbass.
Lastly, before anyone gets mixed up, I am an atheist. but I can defend religion, I don't think it's stupid or anything. It's just a way of life.

"...However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way..."(Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
That's not it clearly condoning slavery?
π: 0 β©: 2
Slavery back then was much diffrent than the slavery we had during the civil war. often slaves were people trying to work off a debt, war criminals, criminals, or prisoners of war. They were also treated better than the slaves during the cicil war were. They had their own food, water, and shelter. Sometimes they even had more than that. Once again we also dont live in the old testiment. Jesus coming to earth made most old testiment laws null and void.

Does that mean we follow those regulations? It's like your aithiesm. An aithiest can have a slave, and another may think it wrong, do you honestly believe that WE believe all the tales in the bible? I mean heck, human error goes into science as well.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I know those things. It's the fact you were stating that the Bible doesn't support slavery in your original comment.
