Pretty much anything on /b/ at 4chan,
Exactly right, man! That's a perfect example of the way a persons religion harms other people. There are many of them, some don't cause physical harm, like blowing people up would, other examples cause mental distress like passing laws that fuel the fires of discrimination against homosexuals and their equal right to the same opportunities as heterosexual people.
One thing to keep in mind is that disdain for religion is not the same as hatred of religious people. I think many atheists debate so passionately with believers is because they see otherwise intelligent people bypassing their normal reasoning ability and evidence filters in favor of something that is highly questionable. These same atheists are just as outspoken about medical quackery, claims of alien abductions, Nessie and Sasquatch. Most of us are skeptics about any extraordinary claim that appears to violate the rules we have learned as to how the natural world works. There is good reason for that because skepticism has been instrumental in helping mankind progress forward as a species whereas credulity has stagnated progress.
I'm with you on that brother. I have difficulty watching that kind of stuff. I think that's good though. It means that aversion to killing another human is probably very deeply hardwired into our psyche along with other taboos like incest. There are some very good evolutionary explanations that help explain why we have these negative feelings and none of them require that we are taught it, either by another person or a deity.
I have been given rep twice from beardo, and he signed his comments. I was given unsigned rep stating "who do you think you are, you have nothing good to say", a comment which was later expressed nearly word for word by oly. Circumstantial I suppose.
I agree Oly, I think it's a terrible thing for a person to waste such technology on. Our home computers are many times more powerful that what man used to go to the moon, yet many people take this technology and use it for the most morbid and unworthy things. I have been tricked into watching a few snuff films here and there, and their imagery always sticks with me for several days; truly disturbing. I am probably one of the few people I know who has not seen the 2 girls 1 cup video. I was at a friends house once when they put it on, and promptly left (and have not been back) and once people were hanging at my house, and one expressed that we should watch it, and I asked him to leave, then insisted on it. I simply do not tolerate morbid petty sensationalism beyond initial curiosity and those who do are not invited to my life.
Enviromental Change? I think so and you are the one responsible.
I think it actually says they shall make no law prohibiting religious expression or practices which I think would allow people to practice their religion.
Maybe so but it is in the bible- Basicly it is saying anyone who doesn't worship the true God and his follow his word has commited a capital crime.- Their is a war among religions with one another and also with aetheists and their can only be one victor.
That's why we need to get it on and after who ever wins was right and they will all agree and be able to live in peace.Beardo, ever imagine a world where you could discuss your views in an adult and understanding manner and not get openly or passively chastised? It would be a whole lot cooler if you could!
There's a war with atheists? Do you think that atheists want to keep you from believing whatever you want? Because that's what it sounds like you would like. You want others to believe what you do or exterminate them. You are one sick fuck if you really think that way and not trolling like Guy suggests.
Yes you are trying to plant doubt where their can be none.
No Oly I was simply agreeing with you and telling a story of my own. I do not hold grudges.
