Religion

[Alkhara Majere]

Religion easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man...living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.

And now, in the interest of equal time, here is a message from the National Institute of Pancakes: it reads, and I quote, "**** waffles."

I am an atheist, out and out. It took me a long time to say it. I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say one was an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. Somehow, it was better to say one was a humanist or an agnostic. I finally decided that I'm a creature of emotion as well as of reason. Emotionally, I am an atheist. I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn't that I don't want to waste my time.

If it sounds like a cult, its bullshit to me. And all religion is, is a cult.

No one is telling anyone they are wrong.
We are expressing our views, and I wish more religious people would express theirs to me.

Awmahgawd! I laughed so hard !!!

At all, it's quite a fact what you said... Christianity is strange, but what on this world isn't strange ?

[Phase228]

ah
see you just pointed out into 2 religions the christian and jews so you did not point out any other religion so you just technically offended those 2 religions saying they are BS pointing that out 2 you


now who said that it is BS just because you have your own beliefs about something doesn't mean the other is not fact and vice-versa so you can't say Christianity is wrong i can say it is right because i believe in God but you say evoulition or w/e is right but to ask you this
most religions where made up by people
ALL theory's and evoultion theory was made up by people so you can't say it's BS because you don't want to believe in that "Invisible man" and follow his rules and actually you live better when you do believe it or not try it out for a month w/o letting go of those things it may be hard but after you will feel better pray and beleive repent and such it does give your heart and mind a relief that there's God out there to help you he may not poof money to you but he makes you learn instead of doing something for you just like a teacher would

I credit my teachers with nourishing me in a direction where I could trust myself and trust my instincts. They gave me the tools to reject my faith. They taught me to question and think for myself and to believe in my instincts to such an extent that I just said, "This is a wonderful fairy tale they have going here, but it's not for me."

they corrupted you to be able to reject your faith
growth is learning learning is growing
leaving something you believe isn't growing
it's going around in circles
theres one true path and millions of others
choose wisely

rather than quoting people think up your own arguments, please. I'm almost positive this is directly taken from Zeitgeist. for the record, I'm agnostic. Why? Because it just isn't plausible that there was nothing, and out of nothing came... everything? or am I misinterpreting a theist's beliefs?
