One of my problems

[Mr Camel]

I think churches should be banned as they exist today.

Furiidomu While you have touched on one or two good points, from what I've skimmed in this thread, you've still got a lot to learn about religion and human rights.

Adrian touched on the inevitability of new founded church ideals and buildings.. where if you eradicate the existing churches, you'll only find brand new ones elsewhere. Specifically in America, religion is probably the most powerful influence of our time and this makes them very adaptive. And who's to say they wont be even more of a threat to us. I can see that possibility as they would have significant incentive to hate the government and people who don't believe as they do. Or at least, more than they already do.

The problem with your idea of banning Church altogether is in order to do such a thing, you have to ignore some very important humanitarian rights. You need to understand this...
Taking away their freedom to attend church goes against the constitution that America was founded on. But regardless of the American constitution - if we, Atheists and Humanists etc, took away their freedoms to attend church and to give money to whom or what they wish, we would be no better than them. And we would stain the very core of what we believe.


Please understand, I am not attacking you personally and neither of us are here to do so. I write this solely to aid your growth as an Atheist.
