Religious vs Not Religious

Uh, yeah, we know what an Atheist is. Thank you for that enlightening lesson that already knew. Also, what's the deal with all the sex talk? You said don;t whip it out, and yet almost every sentence it has something to do with your apparently terrible sex life. No one cares. Now to business. "Atheism is the result of applying logic, reason and critical thinking, something that religious humans have a hard time using correctly." I don't know. I think I've analyzed almost everything you have said so far, not counting the ones I was forced to skip because of lack of characters, pretty thoroughly with at least reasonable points. However, I am not an Atheist. It doesn't matter if you're Atheist or not, anyone can arrive at a smart conclusion at one point. "Brainwashed and delusional are Not insults, even though they work fine as insults, they are an unfortunate diagnosis for ALL RELIGIONS." I find it hard to believe you grew up religious with this kind of nonsense spewing from your mouth. Who are you? Bill Maher? We don't brainwash, at least not my religion, and I think that goes for everyone else's too. "Just because Christians retired from extreme violence, doesn't make them less delusional, it makes them less committed to their religious roots." More like returned to our religious roots. The Bible is a book of peace told through violence. The idea of Christianity is not fighting anyone, to turn the other cheek, love thy neighbor, treat someone the way you want to be treated. "If you read the bible and don't see the filth, donate your eyes to scientific research, they don't work." Perhaps it is not my eyes that need to be checked. "When people place more emphasis on growing up instead of being born again, then the planet is on the right track." Learning about ourselves and learning about what is right and wrong in a way that makes us feel like we are born again is a key to growing up. When I am an adult, I want to strive to be the best person I can for others. "I will fight ignorance and stupidity that infects government, and schools until either the ignorance and stupidity dies or I die. I will hold religion in contempt until either religion dies or I die." I will be sure to attend the funeral. "I am not interested in incessant whining about coddling ignorance that has poisoned society so much, that childish beliefs about a sky daddy are dividing people." Really? You seem to be pretty interested in pointing out my ignorance. "People should be ashamed as a 21st century human, but shame wont enter their feeble mind because they treat research and education like its a venomous spider and avoid it." Again with the science thing. You really don't get it do you? If anyone should be ashamed of their ignorance, it is you good sir. "The sheer fact that humans in the 21st century do Not understand that homosapiens evolved over billions of years is because they turn a blind eye to evidence." Okay, enough of the creationism gags dude. Creationism isn't as big a belief as it was back then, and if they reject it, who cares? As the majority of people have accepted evolutionary theory, we can still continue to move forward. "Religion impedes science and tells children Not to question life and to accept that they were created by a bully who ordered people stoned, committed the greatest act of genocide by flood in storytelling history and organized a human sacrifice in the middle east to show forgiveness." Again, we are focusing on ALL religions, do you even read my arguments? We were made to ask questions, and the Bible encourages it. People being stoned was a common punishment back then, not just for Christians and Jewish peoples, the story of the flood was one of a second chance for mankind. If you recall, all the men at that time were wicked and evil, with no hope of moving forward except one. God saw this man as the world's salvation and granted us a second chance. Only one human sacrifice is recorded and that goes to Abraham and Isaac, which didn't end up hurting anyone. It was a test of faith, and Isaac was never in any real danger. "When it comes to the truth, your beliefs, my beliefs, nobodies beliefs matter. Its what we know and what we have evidence for that matters." I agree, so it doesn't matter that you hate religion and it doesn't matter that I think it is a force for good. But what I do KNOW is that Religion will never go away, as much as you want it to, and EVIDENCE points out that as long as we keep fighting about it, people won;t get anything done. "We have evidence of Evolution by natural selection, its a basic tenet of all biology." Again, not everyone believes in creationism. "Inability to comprehend biology, does not validate other beliefs, it only validates ignorance of biology." Again, Creationism isn't the main thing. You seriously need more research on this. "Deism and the idea of a creator, or intelligent designer, is one of the greatest illusions of all time." Sorry, you said what you believe doesn't matter, so I guess this sentence is irrelevant. "A true intelligent understanding of evolution and science, is so corrosive to religious beliefs, that John Scopes went to trial in Tennessee for teaching evolution in school, just 88 yrs ago." It's just 'One rotten apple spoils the bunch' for you huh? Yes, that was wrong, but that doesn't speak for anyone else. "If there is No religion, then marriage in a court of law is as controversial as eating a Snickers bar on break." Why are you arguing against religion when someone is forcing you to stop eating Snickers bars during break?! This is the real problem! "Denying scientific evidence of cumulative evolution by Non random natural selection, is the equivalent to denying water is H20." I worry about you dude. Ill put it plainly. CREATIONSIM. IS.NOT.THE.SOLE.BELIEF.OF.RELIGION. "This is not a joke." With the way you're talking up things, it's hard not to laugh. But I agree, this is no joke. "Big kids are Not young enough to know everything. Just because I cant explain why the laws of physics are so precise, doesn't automatically mean Jesus is my savior, or that the reason for everything is concerned with my sex life." Wait what? Big kids are not YOUNG enough to know everything? Explain that to me, because that makes even less sense then your arguments. I believe in the laws of physics, and I believe in Jesus. Just because Physics exist doesn't immediately destroy the belief in any religion. "Only religious minded clowns or otherwise ignorant bigots deny equal human rights in 2013." You have my word that it is mostly ignorant bigots, though since you regard religion as a nasty business and everyone having to do with basically the Devil, I suppose you won;t take my word for it. Oh well. "Believe whatever religious lunacy or superstition you want, just treat it more like your genitalia and keep it to yourself, don't whip it out in public, don't use it for show and tell or any other time at school, and don't shove it down kids throats." Oddly enough, I agree. Jesus never forced anyone to listen to him. People came and listened on their own accord. Congrats, you said something smart, crude as it sounds. "If you do treat your lunacy and superstitious "Elvis is alive" or "the reason for the sub atomic world is concerned with my sex life" beliefs private, you will silence the torment you suffer from us pesky thinking' folk, with all our fancy evidence and stuff." ...WTF? Um, is Elvis in the Bible? I didn't know that. "Because we need to convince the Christian nation, to stop infesting our government, poisoning our schools, denying human rights, hurting people and telling lies." Noble as your intentions may sound, your methods are far from breathtaking. Again, I'll have to cut this short due to lack of words left, but I expect a good argument when I get back from Paintball this afternoon.
