Religion is extremely arrogant.

Even if there was god and afterlife.
Religious people are arrogant because they say what god wants and says and they say specific what afterlife is like.
I think this is EXTREMELY arrogant and god wouldn't like that.

Just noticed?
They do seem very sure of themselves don't they? God mimics the personality of the believer. Doesn't take long to notice that really.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Work on your word choice.
I agree with your central message, but you seem to have said it in a way that could be misinterpreted.
I.e. They "say what God wants" sounds like "God wants X and they express it" rather than "They say what they interpret to be God's desire".
Sorry to notpick. Not even an issue, really. More my problem than your or anyone else's.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.

Well I mean if I was god I wouldn't like people to say they know what I said when they don't know. Especially if I don't like what they clam I have said.
Afterlife is even more arrogant because they say what is happening and will happen to people.
For instance people say to me that I will go to hell when they in fact know nothing about god or afterlife. Makes me want to punch them in the face.

Wouldn't it be funny if they were the ones to end up in hell? After all, threatening, judging and being intolerant to people and go on to state that it was god who said it could be a really stupid thing to do.
Atheists probably give any real god out there far more respect by refusing to accept that such a god theists describe couldn't possibly be that stupid.
That's just my take on it.

I can't wait till the more vocal of our theists get in on this thread. The amount of stupidity will quite litrally stun you to the point where you'll wonder if they're not all paid actors. I'm thinking of one in particular right now who is pretty much the Karl Pilkington of this forum.

How can they NOT be arrogant.
Afterall they believe they possess ultimate truth and are the chosen few of the creator of the entire fucking universe.
That sort of belief make true humbleness kinda hard to maintain.
