Do people hate the actual belief in God, or just the religious organizations?

Do they ultimately project their truth onto their faith? In addition, can they honestly say that what they believe is the truth of their deity and not the subjective truths of other people, which have been passed down to them and reinforced through various means of socialization and conditioning?

so...blind faith?

there are very few reasons to believe objectively.

Quote:There's a 9/11 thread around here somewhere. You go and read it first, and if after that you still think you could make salient points replete with "supporting evidence", you put it in there.

Belief in 9/11 being an inside job is so silly that it really is only out done by, well, religious faith.


again, there is a lot of evidence to support it. so its not silly. it may be wrong, but its not ridiculous. 
im not sure why it carries such a stigma. even if only stupid people believed it, that would make it stupid, not crazy.
again, i dont want to discuss it. youre the one who suggested that if i didnt then i would look crazy or something like that.
"if youre gonna say it wasnt muslims and dont even bother supporting it then your gonna look like a nutjob"
paraphrasing

im not going to another thread to support it. theres a thread for everything 10 times over, its not like we go back and revive an old thread everytime a repeat question is asked.

you have to review the current evidence before u can make claims that its crazy.

or you can take it on faith that its crazy and not review the current evidence.

up to you.
