You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

OK, a nutjob obviously. Good to know.

Thanks came in fairly late on this one. Brits had the IRA, UDF, dissolution of the monasteries, the interregnum...

Not very quick, since it's been 15 years of nutjobbery surrounding 9/11.

No. We're as sure as we can be that it was, indeed, 19 Muslims. 15 years later, we're still sure.

So when you write "It wasn't Muslims", and don't even bother to support it, well, you're going to come across as a hatter. Sorry the humor didn't apparently soften the point, but meh.

Don't worry, you'll live.

i see people say "religion ruins everything" so that would point to the organizations and scriptures

i also see people say "youre dumb if you believe in god"

so, what do people hate? or at least, what do people have the most issue with?

For most people, what they hate is being judged.

That's a good one. But in case you're actually serious, also sad.

Stupidity. It always comes with any religious territory. Religion needs stupid people in order to survive, which is why it actively promotes ignorance and false models of reality. Maybe if religions and/or gods stopped choosing the most demented of morons as their spokesmen - people would have fewer problems with the whole thing. Of course - that's not going to happen, because smart people know, that religions are bullsh*t and that there is no reason to believe in any gods.

This is a bit extreme. There are so many intelligent people who are theists...
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

i didnt support it because i didnt think anyone wanted to start such a discussion.

its just my opinion. based on some good evidence.

its okay to disagree, but theres good evidence to support it.
so calling those who believe it "nutjobs" is uncalled for.

i could easily support my case and could easily counter argue yours.
if you want to get into it, be my guest. ask me anything.
