Mary Immaculate, star of the morning
Chosen before the creation began
Chosen to bring for your bridal adorning
Woe to the serpent and rescue to man.
Sinners, we honor your sinless perfection;
Fallen and weak, for your pity we plead;
Grand us the shield of your sovereign protection,
Measure your aid by the depth of our need.
Bend from your throne at the voice of our crying,
Bend to this earth which your footsteps have trod;
Stretch out your arms to us, living and dying,
Mary Immaculate, Mother of God.

Seriously, Aiza? Cite sources or shut the fuck up.
This:
Quote:OCD is characterized by very high conscientiousness (self-control, carefulness, thoughtfulness), which as we already noted, is much more prevalent in religious. Irreligious would more commonly suffer from the exact opposite--a higher degree of carelessness (which, when combined with their lower agreeableness scores results in the same psychoticism personality results we see--which in turns creates a proclivity toward aggression and impulsiveness which we also see in this study.
Is utterly ignorant bullshit from start to finish. Fuck, you're impossible. As a person who aspires to be a nun, you blatantly lie an awful lot.

And with that they take one more step towards the toilet bowl of history. If there was any real justice in the world, anyway.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm late to the party and not reading 17 pages, sorry. I just wanted to throw in that discrimination like this is why I proudly wear my atheism on my sleeve. I have no problem mocking god out loud in a public setting. People need to know that there is a large minority, I won't be silenced.

Aiza Wrote:...but religious people (or those with a religious affiliation) percieve more reasons for living and are as a result much less likely to commit suicide.
I'm sure the fact that many relgious people consider suicide an immediate ticket to hell has more to do with it than a perception that there are more reasons for living. Many religious people see suicide as the unforgivable sin, because you are unable to repent for it, being dead and all. That's a huge factor that must be taken in consideration when comparing suicide rates between the religious and non-religious.
