Besides, you're not worth my time

mtandy (04/29/2013) [-] As an atheist, I keep myself to myself, if people want to believe something, let them.
If, however, someone tries to "save" me, show me the "truth of Jesus" or tell me that I'm going to hell for sinning, I will explain to them in no uncertain terms exactly why I don't believe in what they do, and possibly why they are a massive cock, depending on how much of one they were being.

I'm going to quote him on this line: "I like being simpleminded, because everything works"
seriously, mooieveters, if you want a serious discussion about what HE's saying, i'd LOVE to take you up on that.
He has got to be the stupidest lecturer i've ever seen and i've seen george W bush give speeches.

zdshdci (04/29/2013) [-] 1. The cathedral situation has to do with the part of the world you are in. If you ever happen to visit the big cathedral in NYC, you will see that they are not all like that, and that they are usually beautiful sights.
2. You forget that there are different denominations of Christianity, all believing different things, just as there are many different denominations and sections of Islam and Judaism.
3. If you read the bible instead of listening to the biased contradictions that are paraphrases of quotes from antagonists in the bible, than you would understand the 1 in 3 concept(holy trinity). It isn't that confusing if you have someone explain it to you.
I'm not saying you aren't entitled to your own opinion, or that you are in the wrong being an atheist, but if you are going to be against something, at least have some valid points and be able to defend your POV.

anon (04/29/2013) [-]
In the last five years or so, there have been way more asshole Atheists than asshole religious people.
And for the record, most of the time I see a religious person acting like an asshole, it's because an Atheist provoked them with some crude, ****** joke. It seems like Atheists love to start ********** .
But if we could all just shut the **** up about religion, then none of this will happen. I like that idea.

sargintob (04/29/2013) [-] Yes because religious extremists that have killed thousands of people in the last 5 years aren't more of assholes than atheists that probably only make you butthurt on the internetz. Now I do acknowledge that atheists can be assholes sometimes, and as an atheist I say they are the ones making us look bad.

lamarisagoodname (04/29/2013) [-] millions of muslim women and children are brutally killed all around the world and you start talking about the small number of religious extremists. turn off your wiki tabs and read some real news, religious people are slaughtered by athiests a lot more often and in much worse ways than the opposite
#345 to #315
-
sargintob (04/29/2013) [-] Really? The news said atheists kill religious people more and worse ways than the opposite. I have searched and found no support on that. Maybe you can give me a link you saw. And don't give something about Joseph Stalin or Mao, they were motivated to help create successful communist nations, and religion was an obstacle they needed to get rid because it was interfering with the people. There actions were done in the name of communism. And any killing in the name of religion should be considered extremism. You are taking an extreme action on something that is based upon mythological belief.

sargintob (04/30/2013) [-] I know a lot of Muslim people and they seem to be nice people. I hate the people who discriminate somebody just because they are Muslim. Even being Arab in certain parts of America can put you in that position, even if that Arab person is not Muslim. Which brings to the point where a lot of people in this country like to stereotype Arabs as Muslims. Like after the Boston bombing, I heard some Saudi guy got tackled down or something, but had nothing to do with the bombing.
The Koran even says to be respectful of Jews and Christians and to be peaceful. Obviously, the Islamic terrorists can't read their own book and take their leaders word for it. People in this country don't want to look at the extremists on their side, such as right-wing extremists neo-nazis and all of that crap. They just rub it off their shoulder and say some stupid excuse. Their is also left-wing extremism (anarchists) which take a lesser role in domestic terrorism.
And thank you, its the Starcraft archon portrait. I hardly care if you take a portrait of another unit.

lamarisagoodname (04/30/2013) [-] I've been making the exact same argument for the longest time. It wouldn't matter except for when everyone starts getting angry about their own stereotypes (i.e pissed of non-fat americans) and try to exclude themselves from that demographic (i.e McDesasters)
When Saladin conquered Jersualem, he asked the churches to pay the ransom so he could release the christian prisoners, at which point all the pastors packed up their gold from the churches and fled. Muslim citizens then paid out of their own pockets to free the prisoners of war, and after Jerusalem was occupied, nobody was forced to join Islam and the Sharia (Islamic law) even had rules for non-mulsims living in the state such as it being unmandatory for them to go to jihad, but pay the fee which all non-combat capable muslims have to pay.
I guess that little insight was unnecessary, but I feel as though Islam's been really misinterpreted in western media.

sargintob (04/30/2013) [-] Well the liberals don't really have that point of view against Muslims in the western media. The right wingers do though, such as Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Alex Jones. I used to be a right winger and think everything they said was right. Then now I realize that they are pathetic and like to hate on gays, good Muslims, any left-wingers, even women. But when right-wing terrorists have been mentioned, they go nuts and say that they aren't really right-wingers; even though a neo-Nazi and fascist are far right-wingers. Now I am independent and think that political parties split America and prevent any unity and success. I don't think civil rights with everybody in America is done yet.

lamarisagoodname (04/30/2013) [-] Here's what I think, no matter what my religion tells me is right or wrong, I can't force it down other people's throats (nor am I allowed to, according to my religion) it's not like we live in a declared christian, muslim, buddhist, jewish etc state, we just live in Canada / America and if me, a muslim, can be a canadian citizen the same as a christian / jewish / athiest citizen then the law must be a meeting point that doesn't infringe on anyone's personal rights (I don't care how you think society should run, you're not the center of the world nor can you be sure you are 100% correct)
It's not that difficult to keep religion out of a country's law, I think.

sargintob (04/30/2013) [-] The U.S. Constitution states to separate religious organization from the government. Yet, most of the stuff in Congress going around is based on religion. gay marriage being illegal, North Carolina declaring to be a Christian state, still having "In God We Trust" on our money, having to be a Christian to get voted into congress by the people. If you look at this country between the 1700s and 1900s, you wouldn't really think this would be a free nation.

+ Burma, India etc these people are athiests, just the same as you are and they're killing people for some personal vendetta. I understand persecuting and jailing men, but is there really any reason to kill women and children who might not even practice their faith, they're just taking care of their children?

riddlerenigma (04/30/2013) [-] But surely a Christian would know better to not interfere with such "foolish" people? Because they know that they will be punished after death and be sent to hell. But if a Christian actually fights against the "fool", that are foolish themselves for taking it to offense.
So I ask you again. Who's more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows the fool?

Oh, look. A religious person SO butthurt that he influenced men to kill themselves along with innocent people.. In the name of his religion.
Could you please name the last time an atheist committed an act of terrorism, in the direct and utter name of/ influence of his or her irreligious-ness?
Fun fact: If you even think of counting Stalin, Pol Pot, or Hitler (Even though Hitler was a Christian), please read this article: You need to login to view this link
Sure, Osama did lead people to kill in the name of religion, but it's not the religion that always influences bad things. For example, many serial killers are Christian, but they do not kill people "In the name of Jesus". It just so happens to be they are Christian. Religion/ Irreligion does not correlate to ethics, my friend. My point here is religious people do bad things, and so do atheists. Just because an atheist is an atheist, does not mean that his or her ill-actions are attributable to his religion. And same with religious people. I rest my case.

awesomenessdefined (04/30/2013) [-] The guy who wrote the article really didn't seem like knew what he was talking about.
"First of all, there is no such thing as state-imposed atheism. A state can ban religion, but it cannot ban atheism because it is not a belief, a faith, a set of doctrines or dogmas and cannot be imposed on anybody. Atheism is an absence of belief, and you cannot ban something that does not exist. I have heard the argument so many times from believers who think that atheism is a belief. They compare it to a religion. They say it takes faith. They accuse us of hating god. Believers really need to find another line of fire, as all of these arguments only serve to make them look like complete idiots, which is unnecessary, as many believers are otherwise intelligent individuals."
So what he's saying is, the state cannot ban atheism, therefor it cannot impose it, yet it can ban religion. Banning religion in my book is imposing atheism.
Then he claims that Stalin was only an atheist until he came into power, after which he re instated the Orthodox church. Even though it's well known that Stalin hated religion to his core, said it had to be removed for communism, and was persecuting every organized religion to his deathbed.
Then he says that the total number of people Stalin, Hitler, and Pot killed are probably upwards of 15,000,000. Stalin alone was more than 15,000,000. He technically isn't wrong, but come on man.
Finally he makes this giant list of all the people who've died because of religion. About 70% of them were political. He says " Granted, some of these conflicts were heavy laden with politics, but those politics had religious beginnings and underpinnings" even though most of them were politics, and the beginnings and underpinnings don't matter. Plus he went all the way back to the year 30 CE. That's kind of desperate.
I agree with you entirely, but this guy was an asshat.

People don't ever say anything against it, and if they do, they get thumbed down. So if it's something making fun of Christians, all of the sudden, people all over the comments are telling OP and/or atheists to stop being assholes towards them. But if it's making fun of another religion, like Judaism or Islam, then all of the sudden nobody says anything. Anybody care to explain?
