The truth about religion - An Atheist perspective

[Wolfy]

I found this minutes ago, and it is the best video on youtube I've ever watched.  If your a christian beware, you may find this offensive.

I found it's points to be real good, and that's why I liked it.

Atheist powah

You should see some of Richard Dawkin's stuff.

I'm religious (I don't class myself as a Christian or Catholic, though, I still believe in God), but I also believe in Evolution, I don't take the whole of the Bible as truth, except for some parts like the Tower of Babel(It actually exsists and it's in the Bible! ) Oh yeah, and I'm also friends with Atheists.

Extreme non-believers are just as bad as extreme believers.

  How many murders have been commited specifically for the purposes of advancing non-religion?

Think Stalin and Mao...

[SM]

By the same token how many people who do follow a religion have never killed anyone?

Anyway, I was thinking more along the lines of respect for the beliefs (or lack thereof) of others.

Well, this thread name does give away what kind of discussion this is, if religious people don't like it, they don't have to post in here.

Propaganda,inaccurate,loutish,inciteful,and very very damaging.There really should be a law against posting this sort of rubbish on the internet,religion is different totally to faith,to quote SM:
"I was thinking more along the lines of respect for the beliefs (or lack thereof) of others."
exactly! respect for others beliefs and lifestyle,even Atheists are now trying to push stuff on others.

Why respect beliefs?  There are some pretty horrible beliefs out there.  Respect people (if they deserve it), but not their beliefs.

  A law to ban free speech?  Where have I heard that before?

And damaging to who?  Religious people?  I'd like to hear why exactly.

Also, "inciteful" isn't a word as far as I am aware, unless you meant insightful.  (Which I doubt, considering the rest of the words you chose.)

If you don't like it, don't moan.

even Atheists are now trying to push stuff on others.

Christianity was pushed on me from a small child due to the enforcement of it being taught in 99% of schools in the UK.  As it pretty much says in the video, if we dont't believe we are an antichrist, and "God: Thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death", which is pushing using fear. Eternal suffering in hell sounds pretty sweet to me too.

My other reason for pushing is:
If your friend believed Barney the dinosaur was in fact a real dinosaur and not a person in a suit,  wouldn't you try to explain and convince him that's its not real?  That's how I look on religions in a whole as there is no evidence beyond "their holy books and beliefs".

Irony...
