also want to point out it turns into racism and other stuff when u catagorize EVERYONE as a certain race/place as dumb or another thing or you just hate people because of their race alone, that's racism.

If I say that the majority of a certain race or people who live in a certain place are dumb but obviously there are exceptions, that's not being racist, it's being truthful.

It is like saying everyone is stupid for saying someone has an agenda instead of using "agendum."

If today's society as a whole uses the word to describe the exact thing we are saying, then why wouldn't we refer to it like that? No point in calling it something else when literally everyone knows we are generally talking about the major religions when we say religion?

I have a lot of great people in my life that I love, both religious and not. I don't really care if they believe in something irrational to gather some kind of order in this ****ed up world.

Religion requires the ancient institution; it often means people dressing up funny and wasting time on stupid **** like eating bread or pouring water on children. Its very nature brings about groupthink; you must think a certain way or you will burn to death, get no virgins, etc. Everyone should live their lives how they want, and the religious too often are telling people how they should live.

I genuinely believe that most religious people are kind and genuine. It just really pisses me off to see good people dedicating energy to hatred, and not the love and compassion their books teach them.

I have absolutely no idea what this means, and Google didn't help. Explain?

You aren't required to dress up at church...and how is that "dressing up funny" since it's the same way most people dress every day when they go to work? As far as eating bread and pouring water on children, I think you're stereotyping. Most Christian churches don't have communion more than a couple times a year, and baptism is usually a once-or-twice-in-a-lifetime event that's supposed to symbolize a "cleansing" from your non-Christian life to your Christian life. I think you're talking more about Catholics, and they don't count...they're barely even Christians.

um I don't think he's talking about churchgoers when he talks about dressing up funny

and I'm not sure why you are interpreting "religion" to mean only Protestants

im sorry, but there is no logical way for you to prove the existence of god. every so called miracle that theists use as proof has been utterly full of holes as far as validity.

in the same vein, there is no way for me to completely disprove the existence of god. therefore, i'm a weak atheist. i'm in a default state. i don't believe in god, but i'm not ruling it out either. i don't believe or disbelieve.

its sort of like a unicorn. i dont believe in them, and i don't think it's likely they exist. but im not going to sit here and definitively say they dont exist somewhere in the universe, because i don't have to tools to say that. same way with god.

i think that makes you agnostic, nation

Every miracle also miraculously stopped occurring with the invention of science. Go figure

nah, it doesn't. it's a really fine line though.

The terms "atheist" and "agnostic" aren't mutually exclusive anyway.
