@Mortal920: Why do you care what others believe? Why do you allow it to bother you so much? And you speak rather arrogantly when you call religion, "nonsense."
Anywho, it seems really evident that you want to start a religion argument on Basil, which is the last thing anyone should ever want to do.
[quote=Zookeeper]Well, thanks for introducing a completely different subject and pretty much avoiding my post altogether. I will not answer your question because it does not have any relevance to what I said.[/quote]
Hey it's really just a good idea to stop right now. Do you really wanna waste your time arguing with someone who isn't gonna change their mind?
You do realize how pointless this thread is right...? It's basically just gonna start an argument that will last for a while then die. Just lock the thread please.
[quote=Zookeeper]Do you honestly believe the average Muslim are extremists that seek to kill people? Do you believe every Christian thinks like the Westboro Baptist Church? You must realize that these extreme actions are the work of a small minority who practically give a bad name to their religion. Atheists pushing the truth is just as intrusive as religious people pushing their religion on others. And are you bringing back the crusades, which happened almost a millennium ago, back to the modern times when it has absolutely no relevance to our situation presently? Get over yourself, you aren't any better than Bible pushers.[/quote]
Truth > Religion
They contradict each other, so what do you choose to believe? The truth, or religion?
@ZooKeeper .....seriously? You do realize that people who are religious kill other people for not believing in religion. You know 9/11? That was because of Islam Extremists. You know what the crusades were? That was also because of religion. Millions of people have died because of religion. And so atheists try to show them the truth, and they get responses like this.
@ClementZ @omransms Yes. I CANNOT stand when people choose to live in ignorance. It simply kills me; how can you stand believing in nonsense like this, and waste your time celebrating and performing rituals because of this nonsense? Why on earth would you choose to pound nonsense into your head for, basically, no reason at all. Sure, you may argue that believing in God(s) makes you feel better; that it gives you hope. Well, I just do not understand this one bit. How can you choose to remain uneducated and, well, stupid in order to make yourself hopeful? Wouldn't that time be much better spent, I don't know, actually working to make it through those tough times? Theism isn't going to actually help you at all, it's all in your head.
As you would know if you had actually read through all of it, many theists set themselves up so that no matter what people say, they will always stick to their religion. I mean, it's sad, really. They would go so far to defend their "family beliefs" without even thinking about the truthfulness of them.
How do you know that an "infinite god" exists? From a bunch of fairy-tales written down in an ancient book that is extremely contradicting of itself and controversial? You can't argue that god is infinite if you don't have any proof of it.
@alkaseitzer Oh please. If I were looking for a flamewar I would've posted a link to some clearly wrong evidence that people would argue endlessly over. As stated above, I chose to post this because I can't stand people who choose to live in ignorance.

You guys should just leave the religions alone, and accept them.
As for me, I'm an atheist, but I respect their customs.

Why can't we just believe what we believe and people with different beliefs stop saying how someone's belief is wrong.. Just stop -__-
