How many times do I have to tell you, I don't think most religious people are horrible people. I never said that. I understand that they do a lot of good. What the fuck!You have spent to much time around fire and brimstone preachers. That is who they are.
Check out some contemporary services. They even allow the devil music, Rock n Roll.
I don't know where you are coming from with this. Yes there are things that christians will tell is wrong.
You can not blame a person for standing by their beliefs, no more than I can blame you for standing by yours.
You know what church was for me growing up?
Ice cream socials during the summer. Pot luck dinners. A community that takes care of each other. A group that cares for its community and the people in it. Multiple mentors teaching me right from wrong.
They send a bus around to pick the kids up and feeds them when the parents blow their money on dope. It buys them shoes and clothes.
Man those Christains! What horrible people.
A man, considered to be a 2nd father to me started my interest in electronics.
He worked for a bank, later bought out by Bank of America.
He took me inside to show me the inner workings. Showed me the hard drives.
They were the size of washing machines that held very large drums for the drives.
He was a smart man that also had a degree in physics.
It seems to me that you are the one that is not very tolerant.

I still don't support their false illogical beliefs though. You are so sensitive man, grow a pair. Stop being a sissy.
Yes, Charles Manson thought he was behaving morally, too. So did the guy who murdered those two cops the other day. Sorry, but YOU don't get to decide what's right and wrong. Because "Right" always turns out to be what benefits you."Without religion, we have no moral authority."
Ya maybe for you. I don't have religion, but trust me I have plenty of morality. That just shows how weak-minded you are.

Bill Gates never gave a dime to any charity in his life until he was nationally embarrassed and shamed by Donald Trump for being the richest man on Earth and still never making a single charitable contribution ever. He still kept more than he could spend in 20 lifetimes, even with a $5,000,000 a day coke habit. Warren Buffet "pledged" to give away his money only AFTER his death, so he really isn't giving up anything. If these are your heroes, then you sure set a low bar."Without religion, we have no moral authority."

Hey Red. Would you post links to the Gates/Trump thing? That's sounds interesting, but I can't find it. When looking up Trump + Gates, there is some interesting back and forth. I've posted a couple below. Thanks...Bill Gates never gave a dime to any charity in his life until he was nationally embarrassed and shamed by Donald Trump for being the richest man on Earth and still never making a single charitable contribution ever.

Ya key word: "THOUGHT". Manson was mentally unstable and had serious issues. I don't decide what's right and wrong, ethics and morality are universal, just like the laws of physics. And no "right" is not what benefits me. Think of "right" as being something that benefits everybody. Or just simply being a good person.Yes, Charles Manson thought he was behaving morally, too. So did the guy who murdered those two cops the other day. Sorry, but YOU don't get to decide what's right and wrong. Because "Right" always turns out to be what benefits you.
Please point out the two quotes that contradict me and explain why they do.you are using quotes written for school children brother, two of your quotes actually contradict you. My thinking not to be condescending is you are still young (or immature). Don't be so rigid in your thinking, we know, mostly that which is taught us.
No, I don't "subscribe" to anything. I can care less about status, image, or being fashionable. I never even knew about the word "atheist" until a couple years ago. I've grown up in a Christian family and used to go to church as a kid, but never ever could believe in the stuff. And as I got older, I realized how I don't like any religions. They all are scams to me honestly.My friend I do not wish to insult your intelligence. You subscribe to atheism maybe for atheist status or because it is more fashionable. Your perception has been deliberately narrowed. Look at your own posts and spot your own contradictions there are more than two.
