Description
"Religin is bad and it sucks! its responsible for all the worlds wars! if we got rid of religin, there would be no mar warz and thered be world piece! derp"Even if we were to abolish and do away with religion, there would still be plenty for us to war and feud about. Take away religion and you'd still have greed, power struggles, corruption, and zealous bigotry, politics. Feuding and ambition is in human nature. Don't be naive, religion isn't solely to blame for wars. If you have this kind of thinking, you are part of the problem.
Intolerance, ignorance, bigotry, hatred.
Not to say, of course, that religion hasn't caused wars, just look at Jihad. All I'm saying is that religion isn't the root cause. Human nature is.
"im glade im not in their family, f'n loooneys"
-actual comment by a poster responding to a short news blurb about a family who chooses not to celebrate Halloween because of their religious beliefs. Because the only ones who are closed-minded, intolerant, hateful bigots are totally only the religious, amirite?

On which planet is it making a comeback, exactly? Just keep praying harder, I’m sure god will replenish the church in no time. If your faith is infallible, why did the reformation happen?

Do your research.

How about you actually embrace reality and realize religion is dying in the west? Also, how about having your pal actually grow a pair of balls and unblock me? I haven't blocked him, you know.

Because it is not reality.
He warned you about swearing on his profile, did he not?

People are fed up with worshipping the bones of a long dead false prophet who sucked dick in the desert, mmmkay? That's because he's nothing but a sheltered mama's boy who lives in an echo chamber. Must get pretty boring just hearing your own empty thoughts on "replay" 24/7, eh?

And where do you know this from?
No. It’s because he is actually a decent person.

Because you have no facts of your own to back up, I think you should read something other than the Bible, which I’m liable to set fire to any day now...
and he is a coward hiding behind a computer screen. Fuck him and fuck your entire echo chamber of emasculated cronies.

Same to you.
I do.
You would never be able to get past me. And my father, who is mostly at home nowadays, isn’t the kind of guy to let home invaders go.
He offered his discord.
I’m not emasculated. Your boyfriend on the other hand…

You want to know something else the bible justifies? S L A V E R Y. Which market should I arrive to purchase you from? Also, from now on, your new name is Toby.

Actually it doesn’t. If you’re talking about what the pro slavery people in the south tried to use a long time ago, they claimed that black people were the descendants of Cain. Which is ironic, considering the blessing/curse placed of the descendants of Cain, in which they will be avenged an enormous amount for any slight against them. So enslaving them would be bad. Well, worse then it already was. Cause of the curse.
You could try to purchase one of my clones, but it’d cost you an arm.

Whatever you say, Toby. Nobody is cursed for having owned any slaves up until it was made illegal. The bible condones slavery and a lot of other unpleasant stuff, I've actually read the book.

As have I.
And no it doesn’t.

The United States has prospered because it did away with religion and its silly superstitions. We are not a theocracy and people now are laughing at you, Toby. You have the choice to come away, but you’re too much of a cuck to actually consider there might not be a god. I hope you’re still beating off sinfully to your furry porn when your time comes and god casts you into the burning pit like the trash you are.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The United States hasn’t done away with religion. It is still extant, and thriving.
Only foolish idiots, with little to no common sense, like yourself.
I don’t want to come away. Last time I came close to that I started plotting assassinations. And I don’t even want to tell you what I thought of my fellow human beings.
Better furry porn that BDSM. And have you ever heard of forgiveness? Feel free to look it up in the dictionary, female who has had many dicks in her mouth.

Freedom of religion means freedom from religion as well, hence separation of church and state. Seems religion leads more people into vice than not, eh? It isn’t surprising to know you’re paranoid as well as stupid. You have no intention of “forgiving” me, as god has no intention of forgiving you, so why should I bother?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know that. But it doesn’t given someone the right to tell people not to be religious.
If you are referencing my talk of assassination plots, then perhaps you should rephrase that to “Atheism leads more people to vice than not.”
I’m neither paranoid nor stupid.
I actually would, if you ask for it.
You don’t believe God exists in the first place, so why are you trying to speak for him?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because he’s an atheist. Atheists tend to be more empathetic to God than every single religion.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But atheist don't believe in God to begin with, how could they be Empathetic with him?

Oh yeah. We've started wars over plenty of things other than religion.
Resources, land, politics, revenge...
👍: 1 ⏩: 0
Out of the 1,763 recorded wars in history, it appears that only 123 of them were religious.

Even in the Crusades, religion was only the rallying cry, not the cause. The cause of the Crusades was initially a response to groups from Africa and the Middle East invading Europe, and so the Church organized an army to reclaim the invaded lands by going "MUSLIMS ARE BAD! WE MUST RECLAIM THE HOLY LAND FROM THEM!". So it was more of a rallying cry.
And the rest of the Crusades had more to do with land and wealth.

So I definitely agree with your statement.

Don't hate America because of Trump, either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Yes. Because without values that religion and belief in God as a Higher being brings, there would be sooo less wars. Because for sure people in religionless world wouldn't concentrate on money, wealth, power, sex without love and other things and start wars about it.
It's not religion that starts wars. It's people who miss the whole "being a good person" point of religion. [Pardon, I'm not talking about cults which support sick behaviors ]
Without morals which come from religions, people would just make wars over more stupid things.
And you know what my Religion says? Love your neighbor. Love even your enemies.

I think what everbody needs to realise is that if we try to get rid of religion, that means there are going to people who are going to be strongly against it. Which would cause violence and probably bloodshed. Which in the end would cause even MORE war.
👍: 2 ⏩: 0
It wouldn't do away with war, but it would reduce the amount of wars carried out in the name of people's imaginary friends.
Seriously killing someone because you believe your God hates their sin is just plain stupid, based only in faith without evidence. You could easily have just killed that person's one and only life. It's sickening.

or war would be the same with less white people and basically no music

Get rid of the religious extremists instead.

I'm pretty sure that would cause one more war, but welp

it's like saying getting rid of food will get rid of fatness
saying getting rid of sex will get rid of abortions

...untrue
You do know people donate sperm right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I meant it in a generic way... I mean out of all the pregnancies in the world how many of those are donated sperm?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Counting Lesbian couples....I'd say about 1.5%...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So, fair to say... The majority of pregnancies is from sex?
Thus cutting out sex would sharply reduce the number of people getting pregnant... :)
The original point of my first post was to reply to the person... They said no sex = no abortions... If sex wasn't a thing wouldn't that mean most pregnancies would be planned and then off to the sperm donation office? Sure there would be some abortions for Ectopic pregnancies and defects, etc... But no abortion as a form of birth control, I reckon.

Late reply is late. But yes, you have a point.. But good luck with that, people think sex is like blood and water.

Well, let's see... It wouldn't stop all wars, but it would definitely had stopped WWII and the hellstorm in present-day Middle-East.

Eh? WWII was because of territory...not religion.

Well, remember that Hitler thought he was doing God's work by committing genocide and taking over Europe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
Hitler himself purged many Christians, especially aimed at Catholics for not following his way.

Hitler was either atheist or agnostic.

That's because the church hinted him to kill the jews...

So you're admitting that it's religion's fault?

You honestly think the Vatican whore is the accurate portrayal of the religion?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was more than the Vatican. Hitler wrote that he was doing God's work. It was obviously some personal beliefs too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Isn't the Vatican the ones who say they are the voice of God?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And? Still doesn't change what Hitler said.
