Exterminate religion.

"Of which most of humanity agrees is Atheism. Notice at the height of wealth, balance, and safety, America was heavily Christian. The New Atheist Movement became prevelant in the 2000's and morality, balanced wealth, and security went into free fall." Brontoraptor I don't see how Atheism is any different than believing in a different religion. For example Christians must reject Allah and Muslims must reject Jesus Christ. Same with Jews, they must reject Jesus Christ and Allah. This makes no sense to me. One of the first concepts any person learns with monotheism is to put no other God before me. As for the correlations between the New Atheist Movement, they are just that correlations, and unscientific at that, since you drew your own conclusions. There could be any number of confounding factors and reverse causality. Pollution could be a confounding factor that increases both Atheism and decreased morality, balanced wealth, and security. Reverse causality means that decreased morality, balanced wealth, and security could have caused an increase in atheism. Since we don't know how many confounding factors there are, your assumptions have less than 33% chance of being correct. "Atheism has no unifying effect because it has no beliefs, thus no commonality in its flock, just biological effect. It's a view with no meaning or purpose, nor good or evil, but simply pitiless indifference." Brotoraptor While that is true of some Atheists, not all are that way. Furthermore, factory farming is rampant now, and Christianity is the largest religion with over two billion followers. It is very difficult for me to hold Christians beliefs once I've seen the horrors of factory farming. In fact, this is my main reason or motive for wanting to exterminate religion. "This is because standing for nothing while sitting around waiting to die is:" Brotoraptor That's what my one friend who is heavily Christian says Christianity is about. Go to church, pray some, and wait to die, and go to heaven. At least I can claim I am trying to save the meek by trying to save animals. I am in agreement that standing for nothing is destructive. But, that's the point there is no good reason why an Atheist would stand for nothing. You can stand for truth, animal rights, sexual equality, gay rights, racial equality, and more. "8)A belief that has escalated suicide as it grows." Brontoraptor There are many confounding factors for this and therefore alternative explanations. Pollution, terrorist attacks, GMOs, etc. The point is taking wild stabs in the dark like you are doing is not helping. "Atheism has: 1)Churches 2)Passing out of pamphlets 3)Tithing 4)Faith" Brontoraptor Can you blame people for wanting a sense of community and wanting to hang out with people with similar values? I still would not call Atheism a religion, though some people seem to want it to be a religion. "Pro: "many of the world's smartest people are atheists." Of the 10 highest IQ's at least 8 are known theists and 6 are Christians." Brontoraptor Christians have the highest numbers. http://www.therichest.com... "David Berlinski claimed Atheism was using dogma to influence findings and results, many agnostics and theists quit blindly accepting anything "science" says." Brontoraptor There will always be bad apples. I have unconventional opinions in other areas, for example I'm an anti-vaccine due to the animal cruelty involved. I get mocked a lot for this opinion. I still don't understand where the disrespect for animals is coming from, there is no logical explanation I can find. "Most of aren't convinced it was a cat that jumped out of that bag, but a shape shifting cameleon. Was it this cat?" Brontoraptor Believe me Islam is first on my priority list for a religion to exterminate. After enough terrorists attacks I had to stop protesting animal rights. I didn't feel safe protesting factory farming anymore. "Darwinism looks completely past the Cambrian Explosion and many giant human skeletons found." Brontoraptor I'm not sold on the giant human skeletons. I'm sorry that is just too far fetched for me to absorb at this junction. As for the Cambrian Explosion, weird, but doesn't disprove Darwin's theory. Also, I don't see how Darwin's theory fails to meet the minimum scientific requirements. We can observe species alive today that reassemble ancient species. We can measure the age of fossils with carbon dating techniques. Scientists can perform DNA tests on subjects to verify DNA mutations. Yes, there is a small chance God exists or there was a designer of some sort, but we haven't found any evidence of that yet. "But Christianity and Islam are completely opposite teachings. " Brontoraptor Christianity also has the idea of eternal damnation. The flesh burning away, only to regenerate and be burned away again forever. Seven year old children being condemned to this fate simply because their parents choose the wrong religion. We can see how much Jesus loved children. "And of a godless lack of divine accountability?" Brontoraptor As I see it, Christianity allows for ruthless business enterprises to destroy the environment. Don't worry Jesus Christ paid for your sins already, so feel free to turn this world into a hot, ugly, cesspool, by destroying the world via global climate change. God gave us dominion over nature and no souls to animals. So, therefore animals and nature are there to crush underneath our heels. This is how I view Christianity. Sounds like Hell to me. Kind of ironic is it not? That by giving dominion to man over animals and nature, giving humans souls but not animals, and taking all the sin onto himself that Jesus has paved the way for humans to destroy nature and turn Earth into Hell guilt free. Why not? With all that money from deforestation and factory farming we can build churches in Hell while we are it. Jesus will forgive us. This is exactly the type of bull manure that religion promotes. This is why I want to exterminate religion. For the trees, for the animals, for racial equality, gender equality, and overall human and animal happiness and welfare. The last few terrorist attacks were the last straw. I've seen religion for what it is. ISIS (Islamic state of Iraq) is religion incarnate, religion at its most purest, the quintessence of religion. Religion in my opinion is evil, and I will attempt to destroy what I view as evil. Thanks for the debate, was interesting. http://www.pbs.org...
