I'm not generalizing at all, idiot. I gave your three specific example (women's rights, forced teaching of creationism as science, and the catholic church massive pedophilia cover-up) as CURRENT, RELATIVE, SPECIFIC examples of religious influence today.

It is you who should shut the fuck up sir.

Not all religious people are catholic, and not all Catholics are pedophiles. I go to church very often and have never in anyway seen sexism. As for you, evolution, is not proved, nor is the big bang. and creationism is taught in school along with other religious beliefs, not preaching but teaching so you understand other peoples religion and RESPECT them. Which you clearly need work on.

I give them more respect than they have afforded mankind. The debate on evolution is over has been since the mid 1800's. Creationism is NOT taught in most schools.

Do you think I should respect all religions? or just yours?...what about the religion that flew planes into the WTC? What about the religion that engaged in a huge conspiracy to cover up crimes against children? What about the religion that lawfully allow you to rape and stone women. What about the religion that abducted and brainwashed minors to go live on a polygamous compound in Texas. What about the religion that persecuted Galileo for simply reporting scientific truths that conflicted with the bible? That same church that didn't apologies about its little error regarding Galileo and the fact that the earth DOES revolve around the sun AND didn't get around to admitting and apologizing till 1992. I could literally go on for ages with just the CURRENT atrocities of religion, much less their disgraceful and bloody history. Please....Whatever your personal experience is with religion, it is clear you are only too willing to remain gleefully ignorant of the big picture.

Yeah, pretty much. The only problem I have with the provokers on the Internet is that they often say that "Atheists are pushing their beliefs down my throat, so they should just shut up." What we need, as a species, is to accept people for their beliefs, but allow all of the beliefs to be put forth.

I'm sorry, bu that is bullshit. If I have a Saner, more rational, and ultimately more productive philosophy, then it is my responsibility to fight against the ignorance and backward dogma that has left the human race mired in shit for so long.

Anything less would be irresponsible.

We are talking about atheists who shove their non-belief down people's throat and by that I mean, someone just mentions that he is a theist (like a question on Y!A) and then you see these responses ''lol invisible man in the sky you're retarded'' or ''god doesn't exist lul'', sure, if a religious person does the same thing,well than you can do it because it is a fair game, but not all religious people are the same, not everyone is a blood thirsty schizophrenic pedophile that sacrifice humans, so what I'm saying is that, unless you get the call let everyone believe what they want, and don't act like if all religious people are the same because they are not, each person has it's own morals and ethics, or don't have them.

The exact thing i was saying, your pushing atheism, and that's the exact attitude that this post is making fun of, hypocrite.

Goddamn right I'm pushing back...What do you think happens to a philosophy with no force behind it? You think religious zealots are keeping merrily to themselves, while passing legislation to take away women's rights, while pushing to have creationism taught to children in school, while covering up systemic pedophilia on a massive level in the catholic church and schools?

This "let's not be vocal about our views so we aren't like them stuff" is nonsense. If atheist start pushing back as hard as they can, then they still have thousands of years to make up for; lost because just speaking your mind woulda got you KILLED. amen.

You don't get the point, good night sleep in your ignorance, you claim you are smart and rational when you are generalizing every single religious person as if all of them were killers, child abusers and making tools out of woman, I feel ashamed of you and I am an atheist, but you should shut up, seriously.

For the record, your Yahoo question was a mess of text, clearly generalizing and intending to inflame opinions, so don't be surprise that when you poke a bear with a stick it attacks you. Your point was actually somewhat valid, but your delivery was atrocious.

its on south park dumbass
