You can say the same about Christianity

[evandael]

^ especially because they are, in effect, sister religions. same backgrounds, same place of origin, same preposterous doctrines.


regarding OP, that is sick. i can't imagine being an azerbaijiani who disagrees with the government's recognition of that bastard. it would make me sick.

then again we in the US makes heros and idols of militarymen and make movies and give 1 hour news slots to of murderers all the time.. so it's not all that different.

i definitely do say the same thing about christianity. and judaism. you guys arent paying attention too well, it's fairly obvious that i hate religion. i have many many many contentions with christianity. many.

but islam really takes the cake for my hatred. for a trio of women get stabbed in public, by a mob, resulting in the death of their target, THAT takes modern islam. the population would not tolerate it in any majority christian nation. the offenders would get jailed. BUT in an islamic nation? THE WOMEN GET JAILED. the men get off free.

THIS IS DEPLORABLE. i am not going to be tolerant of just ignorant intolerance! this is a common fucking occurance in afghanistan and iraq.

islam will never be a peaceful religion because it states in their doctrine that you must kill all infidels. the jewish books are equally violent, but they seem to have moved past -for their own citizens- it. christianity, yeah yeah, love your neighbor. definitely tons of issues with womens rights gay rights, but it is not religiously sanctioned to go out and MURDER SOMEONE.

islam can die in a fire.

Kershaw for the record you and I are in lockstep on Islam

You just love to use this term don't you? Anyone who vocalizes their beliefs against religion seems to qualify as militant to you, talk about sensationalizing.

As you should. It's incredible how quick Christians are to put Islam and other religions under the fire but immediately defend Christianity as a religion of peace. No, your religion is not peaceful...you are peaceful. Your religion is full of hate and violence still to this day.

At the same time, a lot of Ghanaians have studied the Bible in a patchy sort of way, and swallow in a literal manner stories about the "casting out of devils". An evangelist who wants to be feared as one who casts out devils cannot lose if he or she picks on an elderly lady. Such women are vulnerable, and where the congregation is itself predisposed towards believing she is a witch, she has no chance. Cruel, brutal acts of "exorcism" are often used to "cure" her.

Many of the latter-day evangelists are ruthless religious mercenaries, who implant the idea in people's minds that nothing bad can happen to them without malign intervention by witches in their families.

Still burning suspected witches alive in Ghana, bravo to American missionaries for providing uneducated Africans a tool by which they can justify their torturing of innocent people.

But not Christianity?

Do centuries of Crusades, Inquisitions, executions, civil rights violations, child molestation, etc. mean nothing to you? No one said that Atheists were perfect, but they don't do and say things from on top of a moral superiority soap box.

Christianity, and religion in general, breed irrationality, ignorance and hatred. Religion is a threat to individual freedom and human advancement and offers absolutely no positive influence that cannot be found elsewhere.

Its not that I dont disagree with you, but its been a solid 400 years since the evil Christians have been by and large openly advocating the killing of everyone that thinks differently. Or have been attempting to do so lately. Islam IS.

The Atheists that dont want to bothered by religion, go out of their way to insult, and belittle and tell those that are believers how stupid they are. Not to mention attempt to tell them where when and how they can practice or place items of symbolism 1000 of miles form them selves. These people are no better than the bible thumpers, that want to inject their brand of religion into others lives via the courts. Our founding documents say freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion.

[Kershaw]

it's not that i dont want to be bothered by religion, it's that i dont want the WORLD to be bothered by the evils of religion.

this is not personal to me. i want the world to be a better place.

Did you completely overlook my link? Violence in the name of a Christianity has been occurring since the supposed crucifixion of Jesus and still has not stopped. Just because it is not occurring in your backyard does not excuse the religion itself, equally I will concede that the religion itself is not solely to blame for the acts carried out in its name. All one needs to do to act out extremely violently in the name of Christianity is take the Bible literally, it's an excellent tool to give already crazies the last needed push to carry out their prejudices.

The Atheists that dont want to bothered by religion, go out of their way to insult, and belittle and tell those that are believers how stupid they are.

Atheism is certainly plagued with a lot of pretentious child-like individuals, any "rebellious" alternative group will have those types amongst its ranks. They however do not make up the majority of atheists and they certainly do not even come close to the amount of everyday Christians who speak ill of and want preferential treatment over atheists.

By forcing your beliefs and ideals on others ??? Yeah sounds kinda "religious-eee" to me.

Why cant you accept that others think and believe different than you, sure it may not make sense to you, but then who gives a flying fuck, its not your life its theirs. Just like you dont want their ideals shoved down your throat, they dont want yours either, so grow the fuck up and get along with the vast majority of religious folks that dont give a shit about you or what you think untill you try and tell them how fucked up they are for thinking like they do.
