Sorry I'm at work and don't have to time to read everyone's posts, but to me the answer is simple.
We just need less regulation.
The government should not tell you to believe or not believe in anything. Thats your, (dare I say it?) god given right.
Also, the government should have nothing to do with marriage. If gay people want to get married thats between them and their god/God.
Thanks and have a good day.
I agree, could not say it better my self. Yup it is your right, but usually if someone says they believe in something there is some other stupid person... whom calls the believer pathtic, and then it goes on and on. people act like they are superior to other's and one's wrong blah blah.
Here is an example (dracondria- retard "known ignorant atheist) Note how I said ignorant?
I can be talking about something when these dumbass was on bahamut and he bought it up and, one time i got into an argument with him. Because I am christian, I am pathetic for believing in a god.. should of saw the ***he said to me. It's people like this that piss me off. Ignorant is too slight a word for it. I should have saved some of those convo's and posted ***here.
Seemed like people like him are mad at the world get bullied at school. was trying to figure out his problem, seemed like he lost someone close to him to death from the way he sounded and how he was acting. Not a reason to say the things he said. it was beyond apathetic, so maybe he has some mental issue's.
Anway, OP gives off that arrogant atheist attitude to me =/.

Dasva ignore me, and what I said did not mean that at all. Just messing around.
I did mean the post I made above this one and the stuff about ignorance, from religious and non religious people. Point is you can't tell if god does exist or not.. But!
It is much safer for someone to believe in god/ a creator religious gods, then finding out they are /he/she/it is real or perhaps not real. Than being an atheist and finding out that does exist in some way or form.
I just want to say all of these attacks at religion shouldn't be so broad as to be at just religion. Sounds as you should be specific to saying Christianity. Because religion is a word that carries a lot with it and people seem to forget that there are a lot of religions other than Christianity.
People tend to give christianity more crap than other religion though.
Christains face more censorship here in the states than almost any other religion. Think it's not? Go to a restaurant and openly pray to Christ before a meal and watch how much crap is started because of it. Now go do the same thing but this time pray to alla, then watch how people just ignore it.
Am I the only one that finds it funny how much the roles have reversed over time? Used to be seen that it was a good thing to be a Christain. Now it seems like more and more people hate Christians. Hmm might be a sign or somthing?(See Revelation for the few people that does belive on this site.)
Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a Bible thumper, I just belive in letting everyone belive in what they belive in and live out their lives. This biggest lol to me is that most aethiests biggest complaint about Christians is that "we" try force our religion on you. But every time you turn around it's the aethiest that are Christian bashing and trying to force aethiestism on us. Why can't we all just leave each other alone?
Since it's now the cool thing to bash anyone that defends Christianity, I know I will get flamed, but meh. Before you bash on me for being "religious" and defending my belief, look on how many "Why aethists should be banned" posts on this site or any other sites. Anyone else notice a hypocritical trend?

BS. You picked the wrong "other" religion as an example. In fact I have seen people pray and do grace before meals at a restaurants and and have never seen anyone say anything about it. And yes I do see it here and there since it pretty much happens at any holiday meal that might be at a restaurant or anytime a decent amount of the family is gathered or even if just my step-grandma is there. I have however seen people given alot of ***for being Muslim. This country is still nominally Christian and very anti-middle east
The best(worst?) example I can think of is there was a guy on my boat whose Secret clearance expired and his old boat never put in the renewal stuff. Normally no big deal do some paperwork half *** some background check bam clearance renewed. But he had changed from Christian to Muslim since the last one... and because of that they refused to work on his clearance at all for over a year.

It's because what Christians have done in the name of their "god" you are the *** trolls of religion and the main reason so many people are Atheist.

You think that Christians are the only ones that have ever killed in the name of religion? To be honest for you to find where Christians have killed other people because they didn't belive the same as the Christians did, you have to go back a few hundred years.. Thats kind of like salvery, ya it happend, but after a couple hundred years don't you think it gets old to keep blaming the people of today?
I simply post that I belive that we should all leave each other alone and let us all belive in what we want to belive, and I'm the troll?

I wonder why Americans would be a little nervous about Muslim? Could be somthing to do with 9/11 and the constant threats from the terrorist? idk just maybe.
I don't belive Muslim or any other religion is wrong. I belive that in ANYTHING(Religion,Politics,Race, or nationality) there are extremists that take stuff way too far.
Let me ask the Aethiests these questions: Why does it offend you when I pray to my god? What effect does that have on you and your normal every day life?
It doesn't bother me that you don't belive the same as I do. Why does it bother you so much?

I live in the south eastern united states. In the middle of the uneducated dumb-*** as bible belt. Where peoples only view is Christian or GTFO. And yes your right we don't kill people anymore for religion but we got damn near that after 9/11 its ignorant Christians like you that make the religion a joke. And i never called you the troll I called Christians religious trolls. Because if you tell a christian you are atheist do you ever see them stop the conversation there. No they insist you come tho their church it's different blah blah blah more BS and they try to force foolish beliefs onto people. That is how they are a troll.
"Why does it offend you when I pray to my god?"
It doesn't, but that doesn't mean I have to acknowledge whoever your god may be and believe it or not, some people get pissed because of that.
"What effect does that have on you and your normal every day life?"
If you pray, nothing. If you're going out of your way trying to convert me, it does have an effect. All depends on what you do with your beliefs, not the beliefs themselves.
"It doesn't bother me that you don't belive the same as I do. Why does it bother you so much?"
Maybe not to you personally, but there are some out there that do. I don't have a problem with people who believe in something, but I do have a problem with people trying to push those beliefs onto myself, ect.

This right here is why I find Christians unbearable to be around. That or if you try to be friends with them they always bring religion into the conversation and and make snide comments about it.
Let me ask the Aethiests these questions: Why does it offend you when I pray to my god? What effect does that have on you and your normal every day life?
If it really doesn't affect me I couldn't give a damn. Pray all you want as long as you get whatever it is you are supposed to do done. IE don't expect special praying time out of your work/school schedule (and yes I don't believe smokers should get breaks just for being smokers either). And stop trying to include me in it or make it so I have to listen to it. But you beleive whatever you want if it makes you happy or even if it doesn't

tl;dr on most of this. I'm killing time while at work and this is 'still' too boring to read. I go by one simple statement, "God didn't create Man, Man created God.".
You see that pretty much any civilization and even smaller groups within those societies have all had a God or Gods to go along with their belief systems. Why have they done this? To have someone to thank when things go right and someone to blame when things go wrong. The world's such a scary place! Isn't it nice to know there's someone out there that's bigger than you are? :P
"And i never called you the troll I called Christians religious trolls."
If he's a Christian then you called him a troll.
Really all religions have their extremists. Some people say Catholics are the extremist of Christianity since they are very strict.
I have yet to meet a strict catholic. And by terms of religion every religion should be strict about what it says to do and not do. That's why Christians get so much ***they are all hypocrites about the rules they should follow. But i wouldn't expect much for people who follow the beliefs of a schizo than that's cool. Religion is no more than early uneducated man's attempt to explain what could not be explained.

I live in the smack middle of the Bible belt but I have also lived all over the country, so I know where you are coming from with the Christian or GTFO. I live in a state where if you are not Christian you are seen as weird. That is not the reason I chose to belive. I started to belive when I lived in LA Cali where it is the complete opposite.
It is funny that you contradict yourself with what your saying about Christians and your doing the same thing. Let a Christian share their views on the Christian religion like the OP did, and watch how many people attack them.(AKA Religion trolls) So yes there are some Christians that do troll, but there are just as many non-Christians that does the same thing.
Why do you call me ignorant? Because I don't belive the same as you? o.0 wait hypocrital statment strikes again!
After 9/11 who wasn't worried about Muslim people? You can't just blame that on Christians when most Americans felt the same way during that time.

OK please do share your views. I wants you to sit down and explain to me why your "god" is so great and not "Because my mommy and daddy have taken me to church since before I was born." I want you to explain the stories written by those dead guys and show me why your god is so amazing. If you can't do that you are another cheap excuse for a christian. Atleast any other religion follows its history and understands its beliefs. Christians are mostly just blind followers.
This is such a hot topic that it's prolly better not to even bring it up.
The ppl that believe in God will try to make you believe in God. And the ppl that don't believe in God will try to convince you that there's no God...
I'm in the middle though. I do believe in God but not in Religions/Churches. I can write 2 pages about this but like I said this is a VERY hot topic... Blue team pulls to their side and Red team would pull to theirs. Never ending battle.
I'd just say that eventho there's no God in your "World" doesn't mean that you're allowed to be an *** and to think that you can do and undo at will...
And if you DO believe in God, don't go about hating on every person that don't believe in what you believe in... I mean, isn't that going against your own beliefs by itself to begin with?...
One thing is for sure tho... To believe in God and/or to follow a Religion(church in reality) are NOT the same thing.
I have quite a few Aethiest friends where I live and on this game. You can ask anyone in my LS that I run. I don't allow politics or Religion conversiation in the LS or on vent for the main reason you never know who you are going to offend. I don't push my beliefs on anyone else. If someone wants to know somthing about my beliefs only then will I share. Most Christians I know do the same thing. I'm not saying that anyone saying that Christians harrass them is lying, because there are people that take it to extremes. I am just saying that not all Christians are like that. Just like the Muslims, Extremist can give whatever they represent a bad name.

I have not attacked you nor what you belive, so please give me the same respect. It seems to me that you are trying to convert me to aethiesim the more you attack me. That just might be the way I'm taking it.

I can hold a mature conversation in many ways, but this is something I'm passionate about. Christiansa are full of crap. So please defend it you can call it sad me attacking it, but in my eyes i just find it your way of putting on eye muffs to avoid the truth.
Let's all just agree that the world will be torn asunder from the epic battle that will take place between Zordon and Skeletor. I hear Zeus may even make a cameo appearance.
A lot of the people in this world believe we need to regulate drugs and guns to make this a safer place. I have a different insight. I think if you're going to regulate one thing that has the most potential to cause death and destruction, it should be religion. Religion is dangerous, and I don't say this out of bitterness. I was raised catholic. I was never molested, but.. Meh i'm a little insulted lol. I was attractive, so hey it was their loss.
What I have against religion is... They start you when you are so defensless. I was 3 years old when they started pumping this BS into my head. I believed in Santa Clause and the Fairy Godmother, ofcourse I believed in virgin birth, a guy that lived in a whale, and a woman came from a rib. But then, something very important happened to me that made me doubt all of it. I graduated the 6th grade :)
What is so hard about saying "I don't know" !?
Ofcourse there are questions that plaque all of us...
How did we get here?
What happens when we die?
Is there a heaven?
Am I on the list?
Who let the dogs out?
So why would you believe some other human being (Who's brain "I promise you is no bigger or better than your own") when he tells you he knows what happens when you die?
"Don't masturbate now, or you won't get to hang out with Jesus in heaven! How do I know!? I've got a pointy hat! I have a hat, and a robe, I have smoke and a wand!"... It's so gay.
Every Sunday is like a pageant with the costumes, the wands, the goblets, the smoke, and the men kneeling down in front of other men with their mouths open.. Nothing gay about that!
Religion, easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there is an invisible man living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of 10 things He does not want you to do. And if you do any of these 10 things, he has a special place full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and anguish, where he will send you to live to burn, and suffer, and choke, and scream, and cry forever and ever untill the end of time.

He loves you and he always needs MONEY! He's all powerful, all perfect, all knowing, and all wise, but somehow he just can't handle money o.O!! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more $$$$$ Talk about a good bullshit story.. Holyshit!
This is Sincere: When it came to believing in god, I really tried. I wanted to believe that there was a god who created us in his own image, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I tried, but the longer you live, the more you look around, and the more you realize that something is ????d up:
(War Disease Death Destruction Hunger Filth Poverty Torture Crime)
This is not good work. If this is the best god can do, I am not impressed. A results like these do not belong on the resume of a supreme being. These are the results you would expect from an office temp with a bad attitude.
Between you and me... In any feasibly ran universe, this guy would have been out on his all powerful ass a long time ago. I say guy, because if there really is a god he has to be a man. No woman could or would ever ???? things up like this ^.^
If there is a god, I think that most reasonable people would agree that he is atleast incompetent, and maybe.. Just maybe.. He doesn't give a shit. Which I admire in a person, and it would explain a lot of these bad results. So instead of being just another mindless-religious robot, mindlessly.. Aimlessly.. Blindly believing that all of this is in the hands of some spooky incompitent father figure who doesn't give a shit, I decided to find something else to worship. Something I could actually count on...
I immidiatly thought of the sun. Overnight, just like that. I became a sun worshipper, but not overnight because you can't see the sun at night. But first thing the next morning....
Several reasons...
First of all, I can see the sun. (Unlike a few other gods I know). I'm big on that, if I can see something it kind of helps the credibility. So everyday I can see the sun as it gives me everything I need: Light, Heat, Food, Flowers in the Park, Reflections in the Lake, the occasional skin cancer but hey.. Atleast there are no crucifixions and setting people on fire simply because they don't agree with us.
Sun worshipping is simple. There are no mysteries, no miracles, no pageantry, noone asks for money, no songs to learn, and we don't have a building we gather together in once a week to compare clothing.
Suppose your prayers aren't answered. What do you say? Its god's will~? It will be done. Fine, but if it's god's will, he is going to do what he wants to anyway... Why the hell pray for it in the first place? Couldn't you just skip the paying, and just go straight to god's will?
I do believe prayers are answered though.. Maybe at a 50% rate! Half the time I get what I want. Half of the time I don't. Same as the four leaf clover, the horse shoe, the wishing well, the rabbit's foot, the mojo man, same as the voodoo lady that tells you fortune by squeezing a goat's testicle. It's all the same.. 50/50... So just pick your superstition, make a wish, and sit back and enjoy yourself.
And for those of you who look to the bible for moral lessons, and literary qualities... I'll suggest a few other stories for you... You might want to look at:
~The Three Little Pigs (It has a nice happy ending)
~Little Red Riding Hood (Although it has that X-rated part where the wolf actually eats the grandmother)
~Humpty Dumpty (All the king's horses, and all the king's men couldn't put humpty dumpty back together again. That's because there is no Humpty Dumpty, and there is no God.)
