I think the world would be better off without them in these modern days. It would be like having a monarch ruling a country. And yet, here you are, trying to be all high and mighty in your atheist chair, albeit slightly more subtley, yet you're pulling massively levels of hypocrasy here. We atheists get picked on? Why are you picking on the religious? Note I said 99% of the time. Kindly learn basic math, this does mean that in fact I agree that 1% of the time, it does lead to this. 1% coincides happily with the amount of purely religion-related violence we see. Thank you for clarifying the mathematical 1% of my post. Shame you both ignored the 99% and proved it with your hypocrasy at the same time. Thanks for proving both my points, mate. RE: Religious views. - Coffee Jr - 06-18-2012 I think the intentions of religion itself, if it makes someone a better person and betters their life, then I'm all for it with my blessings fully intact. But, I think people who try to shove those beliefs, however which way it makes them feel, down others throats and use fear tactics and as a means to discriminate others, that's when religion gets pushed too far. Its happened with ALL religions; with Judiasm, with early Paganism, with Christianity (especially Catholicism), with Islam, Hinduism, I've yet to find a religion that hasn't had its era of its followers persecuting those who believe differently. As for Scientology, I believe its a cult. So is Satanism. Neither are cool with me. And I say that as someone who has a lot of Pagan beliefs. I don't believe in adhering to an evil deity because what you put out you get back and become. And believe me I want nothing to do with demons and evil energy. Scientology is just like the Catholic Church and many Protestant branches (Evangelists, Pentecostals, and Baptists come to mind), a pay as you go religion while the greedy higher ups gladly become richer buying a new sucker every minute...

We atheists get picked on? Why are you picking on the religious? Oh, I am so sorry, Faustie.. I should have recognized that no religions have ever stifled freedom and progress. Who am I to speak out against religion? what with all the shit they get for being in the minority, the poor buggers. I should be punished for voicing my opinion on the matter. Those poor religious folk that have done anything wrong in their lives, they are just trying to live their life, and I am being so goddamn cruel because I have an opinion on the matter! If you read my posts, I never said anything about wanting to deprive anyone of their religion, you misread me and smugly said "thanks for proving both my points" (talking about being high and mighty?) I said I wish we live in a world where religion does not exist. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER did I say I wanted people to lose the freedom of choice. People are free to have a religion as well as an opinion, they are free to be proud of their religion/opinion, but for the love of god keep it to yourself, unless you come to an appropriate point where you may voice it. And this is a thread on your religious views and opinion on religion, right? But.. Oh, right, I am not allowed to voice my opinion because it happens to go against someone's religion and they might feel harassed and hunted by every atheist despite consisting of 90-98% of the world population. Besides, I am allowed to be as self-righteous and high and mighty as I want. You bringing my atheism into it is rather ignorant, as that has nothing to do with my religion at all. Still think religious people have it fucking hard? Try walking in the Middle-East as an atheist woman without a scarf. I dare you. Oh and another thing, you seem to have it totally wrong, we are hypocrites for attacking religions? No, no we are not. Notice how we are attacking the RELIGIONS and not the people? I couldn't give less shits what you live by, I do, however give many shits that one of the major religions That feature their "oh so good prophets" beating their wives.
