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?

Do you live in the USA?
If you do, you should know the nation was FOUNDED on the ideals of religion. "One nation, under god"

ok.
The Library of Congress has one of the "Family Murals", which depict simple occupations and relaxations which are characteristic of family life as Religion, and one of the eight allegorical female figures in plaster representing characteristic features of civilized life and thought is of Religion.

Enforcing old laws just because they're old is completely asinine. Values and opinions can change over time, that and laws can be outdated or obsolete. For example just because child labour was once legal over a century ago in England, sure as hell doesn't mean it should be enforced now.

I know lets answer bigotry with more bigotry. YAY, This is like saying lets wipe out all other races to end racism. And bigotry is decided by the PERSON, Not the religion. People will be bigoted assholes if they're Christian, Muslim, Atheist or otherwise.

It would probably get rid of religious wars. But war in general? That would definitely still exist, as long as we've got politics.

Religion has never caused any wars. Even religion wars were caused by people who abused their religions...

I can agree with this - the problem isn't religion itself, it's people who are closed-minded and don't respect other peoples' religions.

This is why I'm Christian. My belief is that following the guidelines of the Bible which exemplifies the turning away from human evils like intolerance, bigotry, and hatred will bring me to a God of perfection where there is peace among all men. Yet, my faith according to these people is the problem? My beliefs are the exact opposite. I don't think they realise that they ARE the majority of the world's problems, if not ALL of them.

Someone once brought up this statistic: if you removed all wars involving religion from history, then we'd still have about 94% of all wars.

TO SHADOWMANWILY, because you blocked me like a coward.
You expect me to show you things, but it's really hard to do that when you resort to cowardice.
LOL, a Christian calling someone lazy. XD
And if you weren't so ignorant, you'd realize I've said more than that. I've told you some facts, yet you can't even be bothered to check for yourself. It isn't about me giving you articles, it's about you lacking the balls to defy your own religion, to defy your own beliefs for a few moments so you can maybe realize that you might be wrong. But you have no balls. I have proven this.
But here's the kicker. I don't NEED to back up what I say. I don't fucking have to. Know why? Because of the articles out there. They are all over the place. They exist, and they prove you wrong. I don't need to give you shit, because I'm not the one craving satisfaction here. YOU are the one with no proof. No evidence. No facts. And you can't stand to even think that may be a possibility. And yes. Stop believing in God. It's stupid. Retarded. Backwards. It's slows down humanity, and causes it more harm than good. If you seriously believe that an invisibly skydaddy created everything with magic, then you are seriously fucking ill and need to get looked at. And the facts are, you know nothing about your own religion. It's sad, but us atheists know more about religion than the religious. That says a tremendous amount, and should make you fucking think. But it doesn't, because you are a blind sheep.
And I wouldn't last in the real world? I've sadly been living in it for 24 years and have been doing quite well to be honest. But that has no bearing on this conversation. You should be very concerned, because here you are, believing magic created the universe, believing that there was a great flood, and believing that somehow killing your own son is supposed to accomplish anything for humanity, yet you are calling me a thick minded simpleton.
Get a clue, idiot.

And like 99% of all religious idiots, when actual facts are brought up, they are too fucking retarded and lazy to even bother finding out if they are really wrong or not, (Because realizing that your entire belief is a lie doesn't really matter or anything...) and insist that the person making quite rational and factual points be the one to do the work for them.
You have a brain, at least part of one. You have fingers. You have Google. Use them. You are the one making the outlandish claim that there is a God who used magic to create everything, I am simply stating a claim that isn't retarded. Burden of proof is on you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Burden of proof is on me... You are really funny I'll give you that.
99%? Wow you must not go outside very often.
All this bullshit is coming from you, if what you saying is true like you say, it should be pretty easy to find a reliable source that you can just pull up and show me. I am too lazy to go to one sided, biased sites, sorry bout that.
About you bitching about my religion that you can't live with and you think you know what it is like you were at the beginning of time, I don't go around saying the Big Bang theory is bullshit and lies because I WASN'T THERE. Magical particles that were always there when there said to be NOTHING (just like how we think God came to be) then one day they just decided to crash into each other and make shit. Where did the cells to make living things on a newborn planet come from? No one really 100% knows. That's why it's called THEORY not FACT.
Again, I simply want to know if your petty insults to a group you seem to know little about are facts from somewhere
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Also, don't forget the THEORY of evolution or the THEORY of relativity, I'm sure those aren't facts either.
(Pssst, they ARE facts.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Again look up theory.
It may help.
I'm not saying these are not true, but the are still called theories
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, you're right! All those are true and still are called theories despite them being facts. You have not dis-proven anything I have said.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You claim that an invisible skydaddy used magic to create everything and you somehow think the burden of proof ISN'T on you? That's the funniest shit I've ever heard...but sadly I've heard it many times, as just about every religious idiot thinks that. You're really funny, I'll give you that.
And yes, 99%. Notice how I didn't say 100%? Not all religious people are idiots like yourself.
"it should be pretty easy to find a reliable source"
Exactly! Go to Google, fucktard.
"I am too lazy"
Oh, then never mind. Don't go to Google. It's okay, your religion and every other one will keep continuing to dwindle over time, whether or not you want to know about it.
"I don't go around saying the Big Bang theory is bullshit and lies"
Good, because the Big Bang is an actual fact, just like your declining religion.
"Magical particles that were always there"
And thank you for proving to everyone here that you don't know shit about anything.
"Where did the cells to make living things on a newborn planet come from?"
And thank you for continuing to prove you know nothing.
"That's why it's called THEORY not FACT. "
You are such an imbecile, it isn't even funny. Thank you for making it clear that you are in fact a retard. There's a thing called the THEORY of gravity. You might have heard of it. Or are you going to tell me that the THEORY of gravity isn't a fact either? Theories can be facts, retard.
P.S. Don't bring up the subject of me not knowing something about a certain group, when in fact you know SHIT about your own religion. I suppose you think God is all loving, wants no harm done to anyone and that the devil has killed thousands of people. You might as well admit that there was a great flood, despite the FACT that there wasn't.

I love how you take parts of my sentaces and twist them you your liking just like how most atheists say the bible is bad.
You said 99% but then you turn around and say the word all.
You should work on your math next.
"Big Bang is actual fact"
.... I'm dying here... Oh God this is fucking hilarious...
again "your bullshit =fact" with a huge side order of senseless bashing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The only one who's twisting words around is you. I said 99% of religious people. NOT all of them. Never once did I say all. And yeah, the Bible is bad. Seriously bad. The fact that you don't think so only proves what an ignoramus you are.
And yes, the Big Bang is a fact. A fact that the majority of scientists agree with. You're trumped, my friend. You will never win this argument.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Big Bang theory was came by a Catholic priest. :/
www.catholicherald.co.uk/comme…
And have you read the Blible? The WHOLE Bible? How could you say that the Bible is bad if you havn't? :/
"The fact that you don't think so only proves what an ignoramus you are."
I don't think that the Bible is 'evil'. By the way, I actually read the whole Bible before. How does it make me ingnoramus if I read it and have a different opinion of it than you do. :/
