Going back to this "good and bad on both sides" business, we know that there is good and bad in religion and that a lot of the bad stems from scripture. From where does the bad in being secular come? Sure, you can point fingers at a few atheists misbehaving at street preachers, but where is the real harm and from where does it come on the non-religious side?
How many wars have been waged because people refuse to be humble and use understanding?
I'm not saying not being religious will make you a monster but all I was saying is that religion helps people keep themselves in check and I see no harm in that.
It's when the fanatics take it a step further and begin making the rest look bad and that's what makes people like yourself dislike the idea of religion.
I was just saying the same can be said for the atheists as well, so I know what you're saying and I know religion can influence bad but that's on the individual or individuals doing the act and not on the people who they associate themselves with because then I could say the same to you.
If people can brush everyone in religion with the same colour then why can't people do that to atheists as well?
I could then say you're no different than any atheist criminal to ever exist but I don't because it has nothing to do with which group you belong to, it's on the individual, it's the decisions you make in everyday life.
Nothing in this world is all good or all bad, that was my point so in essence I'm agreeing with you but I just don't like to think I can make a judgement as to whether religion should exist or not because that would mean I'm assuming I know everything there is too know about the subject matter and that it's just all bad and that's just not true.
QuoteYou only need look at the avatar to see how braindead he is.
...you are beyond retarded.
So with you're logic you can judge someone because of something like there avatar? So you're telling me you can tell me if someone is "braindead" or not by say, what clothes they're wearing or what hair style they have?
You're the one who is brain-dead here, sad thing is I don't think you'll ever be able to fathom just how so...
