Wrong Lafayette.

Yeah, not to say if someone wants to talk about it I won't. I was convinced. But it wasn't really a choice. I just couldn't argue anymore with the doubts I had.

Even if I don't like religion, I can like religious people.

My best friend is the most devout Mormon girl you could ever meet :^)

Plus, while I can give my reasoning to not believe, if the evidence does not convince, that is no fault of the religious. You do not choose what you believe.

i'm going to sleep man, if you reply and i don't, I probably will tomorrow afternoon

That's a great way of looking at it. people are people, no matter what they believe.

Yeah, not to say if someone wants to talk about it I won't. I was convinced. But it wasn't really a choice. I just couldn't argue anymore with the doubts I had.

Then we're really gonna have to agree to disagree. That could mean for every person who doesn't kill themselves because religion, there is someone who does because they believe they'll last through it, and again, I really don't know if I buy that ANYBODY needs religion until after they've grown dependent on it.

Like drugs Once you have them, you need them. Before hand, you didn't.

we can agree to disagree and I'm fine with that. Like I said, to each his own. I just hope that you and others don't look down on religious people because of what they believe in as I don't look down on people who have no religious views

Even if I don't like religion, I can like religious people.

Interesting. The only reason I have not killed myself is I'm terrified of the nothing waiting for me after my death.

Again, I think that's a case of people who think they would kill themselves without religion, really just having an excuse to not kill themselves. They'd find one either way.

i'm very sorry to hear that you're depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts and I hope things turn for the better for you. But people work in different ways, some are like you, terrified of nothing left, but others want nothing more than for there to be nothing left. Suicide is a touchy subject that i shouldn't have brought in to the conversation, but there are people who depend on their faith in God to get them through the toughest of times. I still don't believe it should be cut off, because people need hope.

The chance is much smaller than the % of people believing.

And I do not believe people get religion because they need it. People depend on it because they HAVE it.

you have to think of the people out there who have nothing left to live their life for. millions of people have restrained from suicide because of the hope that there will be good things coming to them in life and that they will have a chance at eternal happiness, where everyone is equal

Eh, it's about time we wean off of it. It might not make a huge negative impact like it once did, but an infinite amount of time and money will be wasted on it if it goes on forever.

I disagree, we can't really just wean off of belief in a higher power, just because it has minor influences. It gives some people the only hope that they have. Especially considering the chance that there is a higher power.

The chance is much smaller than the % of people believing.

I think the idea of eternal reward/punishment for your actions is a bad way to try to create good people.

And I"m sure you didn't mean it that way, but if someone has some bogus beliefs and is using them to pass laws and shit, I will put down their beliefs.

I completely agree with the laws thing, religion and politics should never mix. (ie, the middle ages. when science was halted for a hundred years because of fear of change) I'm not here to try and convert anybody, I'm just saying that it isn't something to be looked down upon.

But there are better things to use.

And if that's the point, then that's basically admitting that religion is bogus Idk, I just feel like we've moved past the need.

There are other reasons for religion obviously. As for me, my family has had a lot of things happen in it for me to not believe that there was some sort of divine intervention. For some people, it's just easier to believe, for others, they're simply in it because they were raised in it. those people are the types of simple mindedness that bill nye dislikes. But for others, it's all that they have left to cling to and it really is a good way to teach some people morals because it offers the reward of heaven or the punishment of hell. I don't care what most believe, I just don't think people should put down on any beliefs from any side.
