Haiiiiiii!

Exactly, peoples religious beliefs should not be them. They are much better than that. I want to meet a person, not their religious beliefs. I was also brought up to judge a person by their character and personality not by their religious beliefs, and when you come from a country where knowing where someone is from automatically makes them form a like or dislike of you it is rather important.

But, if you meet someone who makes all you meet their religious beliefs, what are you to base your opinions of them on?

Working from the evidence which we can gather is all that we can do. If it is inaccurate then further study will expose it. That is the difference between scientific method and faith. When something is found out to be wrong in science it is dropped and the new theory taken up (notice that science does not have the audacity to say that everything it says is right and true, they are theories which are correct only until proven otherwise). With faith, it doesn't matter how much conflicting evidence there is, it is still believed to be true. I think that is wrong.

I completely agree with everything said in Replikus post. As usual, he manages to sum up everything I am trying to say, and then say it better than I ever could lol

Exactly my intentions.

From growing up in a country torn by fighting between Protestants and Catholics I know what religion can do to people. Religion is one of the few things that can make a good person do bad things. I suppose that my views and opinions are more than likely tainted from my upbringing. I was not taken to church as my parents wanted me to have the freedom to decide for myself what to belief, rather than forcing it down my throat as it was to them when they were growing up. I decided for myself, with all the evidence available from what I had seen, read and heard that religion was a bunch of nonsense. I made my own mind up and am very grateful to my parents of giving me that choice, many children aren't.

I personally believe that human beings should believe in whatever is right, not what looks and feels nice. Religion is something for people to fall back on when their life isn't going the way they would like. But I want people to be strong enough to not to have to rely on the thought that some all knowing, all powerful being is looking out for them.

A laptop is much more versatile and many public places now have free WiFi, which means a mobile Internet connection. Although, if it is for anything like gaming or graphics manipulation, I would go for a PC. Much more powerful by far.

I did not say that you did. I meant the people who are close-minded, stubborn and utterly ignorant of anything but their own belief. People whose minds have been hopelessly darkened by their beliefs.
I also never said everything about the Church is wrong. I only used the BNP as an example of when free speech is not necessarily a good thing.

As you say, religion can be good. But more often than not (and all you have to do is look back through history to see it) it causes more harm than good. Causes more problems than it solves. How can a religion that supposedly promotes peace and acceptance among people allow wars in its name? How come Catholics believe that anyone who is not Catholic will burn in hell for all eternity, just because they aren't Catholic?

Most of the good supposedly done by "the Church" was done by the people in the Church, not by any sort of willing of the organisation. These people end up forgotten or their successes and achievements are attributed to god and not to them. I see this as a complete tragedy, that the good will and honest labour of good people is superseded by a so-called "higher being".

Also, how would be not have accomplished anything as humans if we kept our religious beliefs to ourselves? I never said beliefs in general and if that is the way it came across in my post then I am sorry for the confusion. The way you say that is as if religious beliefs are responsible for every achievement in human history, when that is far from the case.

When did I ever say that I think that everyone believes religion to be a complete mis-truth? When did I even say that myself? There are some aspects of religion that are true. A well put together moral code can never be a bad thing. But that does not mean it requires religion to exist. Also, religious texts (such as the Bible, the Koran, Quran etc) taken as just pieces of literature are amazing works. If anything, religious undertones take away from the work itself.

All I see when I look at religion is a bunch of repeating hypocrisies, a mental crutch for those who need something/someone to blame their problems on and a method of controlling others. I don't want any part of it.

I would appreciate it if my words were not taken out of context and twisted, thank you.

It is not that I completely reject and shun them, it is that I do not wish to have other peoples religious beliefs shoved down my throat on a regular basis. Trust me, I have a lot of friends who are Christian, both Protestant and Catholic. They are still my friends. But we don't talk about our beliefs (lol except when drunk, then everything gets talked about xD). Beliefs are something that should be private and individual.

Also, the concept of free speech is a dodgy one at best. There are many ideas that should not be tolerated or allowed to be talked about. Many of the core beliefs of the British Nationalist Party (Which draws many parallels to the Nazi party, it even has a youth division) are illegal and considered to be highly immoral by most of sane and civilised society. And yet they are allowed to spread their poison under the pretence of free speech.
Human rights are another thing, but that is off topic and therefore will not be discussed.

Basically, my point is that we all have our own lives. We should be allowed to live them our own way without constant and unwanted influences from people who have a holier-than-thou attitude and think that their god is the real one.

As for Atheists wanting to prove every ones beliefs wrong, that is not it at all or at least is looking at it from completely the wrong perspective. Atheists search for truth. Many use science to search for truth. The search for truth often illuminates mis-truths or downright lies. If Christians are allowed to evangelise, should Atheists not be allowed to do the same? I also hate seeing human potential and time being wasted on something I consider to be pointless. I personally would like to think people would be intelligent enough to spot the never-ending hypocrisies of religion. It pains me to see perfectly intelligent and sane people (there are plenty in my school, many of them top achievers) following a belief which was forced upon them as children and are unable to escape it.

There is actually a rather large group (relative to the sheer ludicrously of the thought of the earth being flat) who still believe that the earth is a disk (but not necessarily flat, apparently it may actually be curved =o). They say that all of the evidence that says that the earth is in fact a globe (such as satellite photos etc) are all artificial and created by "The Man" to fool us and turn huge profits. Imbeciles the lot of them >_>

But yeah, I was not saying the Bible is right, just saying that the only reason it was made illegal to begin with stems directly from religious teachings.

Lol awwwwk =] I hate it when I loose my posts >_> I completely give up typing my opinion xD

Anyway, there is not technically anything wrong with prostitution. It is an individuals choice both to pay for sex and to sell their body (and time, technically) for money. If you think about it, the time, energy and the persons body are all resources that they own. Why shouldn't they be allowed to use them in a way which hurts no-one else and makes them money in the process?

The only problem I can see is moral crusaders who will say that the Bible (/*insert religious text here*) says that it is wrong and therefore should be illegal. Secular society FTW

English, although I now know a reasonable amount of French and German x]

I have always held the view that humanity as a species cannot work on large scales, such as globally. There must be like a critical point where things just start to break down. Hence why the world is split into countries (and those countries which are very large tend to be the ones that don't do very well).

Gah, why can I not think of anything else to say >.>

*passes out in fits of laughter*

Hissora's one seemed really appropriate for some reason and I don't know why O_O

I can't believe some people didn't get the soap dropping reference >_>

Well the majority of forest fires are still naturally occuring. Most manmade ones are used to clear jungle and wooded areas for grazing land for cattle. Other than that they tend to be small intentional fires that get out of control. I agree that they should be stopped and as far as I know the practice of clearing trees with fire is illegal. But as with most laws it is hard to enforce.

As for hunting, people need food. In developing countries people need to have meat in their diet and they don't have the luxary of herds of domesticated animals. They need to hunt and kill animals.

I personally think that hunting animals should only be allowed as a necessary activity (i.e. for survival purposes). Hunting for sport or when the product from the animal is not necessary *coughjapanandwhalescough* >_>

In the UK fox hunting was recently made illegal (with varying degrees of success) and the global community is finally cracking down on Japanese whale hunting (which I see as a disgusting act of barbarity and depravity >_>).
