You're not gonna get anywhere with people if you're calling them, "f**king idiots."

Quote from: KirklandSignature on Sep 19, 2013, 05:05:07 PM
People forget that we are in a war against irrationality and illogic. Why should rational and sexy atheists tolerate religionist fundie terrorists and child f*cking priests? We as a civilization would be better off and 1,000 years more advanced if Christianity and Islam never rooted itself into the trench it's dug itself into.
Where's your evidence?

An extremely black/white view on a very complex period of European history. To add, the idea that the dark ages were a period of years where all progress halted (mainly caused by religious intervention), has been completely debunked by now.

Would you have preferred The Roman Empire to have survived and colonized/conqured all continents on Earth by now? I doubt we would have been better off in that scenario.

As for the religious beliefs = mental illness comparison... that's pretty far out...

Mental illness and having faith in a religion are two different things.

But they are alike in many ways, namely not being able to tell what's real or not. In a more perfect world, religionists would be sent to a looney bin.

You can't disprove or prove any religion.
Your "in a more perfect world" comment also leads me to believe you're one of "those" Atheists and you judge people based more on their religious beliefs rather than just being tolerant of it and letting it be.

We'd still be in the same place. A lot of people do good things for others because they believe in God and his teachings of being kind, generous and looking after your fellow man etc. It has given people hope when they were in despair Prove that we'd be better off. It has given them faith when they have struggled, and has given them peace when they have fear. Is that bad? Many historical people who were religious did great things to help change society. Irrationality and illogic thought doesn't come from religion, it comes from people. Even if we didn't have religion, we probably still be just as advanced, still coming up with stupid reasons to hate this or that person. It has nothing to do with religion.

If religion never existed, we'd just find other reasons to kill each other and so on.

Religion isn't to blame, people are.

Nevertheless, it would be one less catalyst.

If your religion tells you to do something harmful and you're willing to do it for your religion, religion is to blame.

Unless you're proposing religions spontaneously pop into existence, people are still the problem for making them.

It's like how guns don't kill; it's people with guns who kill. Take away the guns, people will still kill, but not as many.

Yes. Those are entirely the same thing. Refusing to tolerate indoctrination, threats, active degradation of education, ritualized intolerance and the brainwashing of children is just like spoilt child acting out.

I don't mind you being a Troll, but do try and be funny as well :P Step up your game or stop playing.

Ah, so only the rabid atheists so desperately trying to shout to the world how much of anti-conformist they are, are only allowed to post childlish little tanty pictures.

Glad we got that sorted.

No, we're not.  You're in a war with not being a braindead oxygen thief.

You compared this



To this



Your looking for chances to snipe at Atheists, I get that, and your welcome to, but your choice of snipe made you look like a morally bankrupt child. Either you chose poorly, or you are a morally bankrupt child. If you can't understand why this was a poor choice, then your trying too hard and not thinking.

Predictably blind to the obvious petulant similarities.

Maybe you'll grow out of this juvenile rage against religion and come to realise it doesn't actually matter in the long run.

Or at least grow up enough to correctly use the term "morally bankrupt" in a sentence.

I don't look for chances to snipe at atheists.  I completely get their point of view and respect their lack of belief.

Angry attention whores with a misplaced sense of superiority however....

Okay, can anyone else actually see how this is a poor comparison? Because the idea of refusing to tolerate the things mentioned in the first picture being 'a child acting entitled' just blow my brain :/ I have no idea how anyone could make the comparison.

Of course you don't.  You have to maintain the rage.  And no doubt others will come along and join your congo line of victimhood and outrage at the war being waged on you by religion.
