If there is no God....
#11
RE: If there is no God....
The good ole, "What harm does it do or is it" question.

ohhhh I don't know...maybe the fact that many of it's followers are trying to force its propaganda into our Children's Science classes. The fact that its doing everything it can possible to put a stop to R&D on Stem Cell research here in the U.S.. The fact that those nice little children being raised in a christian home are very quick to judge those who are not of the same faith based belief. It's already hard enough on kids growing up to add this bullshit log on the fire. Not all do this, but trust me, come live in the Bible belt of the U.S. and you will see what I am referring to on children being raised to unknowingly judge those who see the world differently. My heart and thoughts go out to the children which are not being raised Christian in my area. I've seen and heard more than enough (Along with lived through it) to know just how judgmental and damaging they can be. But of course, Jesus will forgive them.......

I don't have to bring up the past damage that the Christian faith and it's followers have brought upon human kind. There is more than enough at our present time to list.

Belief in God is much more destructive than a belief in something like faries, because belief in God comes with a lot a baggage.

It starts by being elitist: 'ours is the only true God'

Stops me shopping on Sunday!!

and always ends up with hating gays for some reason, God really hates the gays.

I also distrust the judgement of anyone who believes in superstitious stuff, it shows a distinct defiiency in there judgement gland.
They accept as true without evidence, that is dangerous.



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

Perhaps it's just as bad to be so completely ill informed too.

I can't reply to everyone so I'll try to go for the main points.

For those who said they dont like religious people who spread what they believe; isn't it understandable that they do that though. If they believe the way to heaven is through knowing God then it makes sense for them to want others to know God.

I dont have problems with the goverment being secular.

It seems ive lost the will to write any more in this post at the moment lol

I don't approve a people spreading unproved "facts" to the public. If a religion was scientifically proved correct by any scientific community, wouldn't everyone be lining up behind that religion about now? There are too many religions, and too many people willing to believe all the crap they spread around. These sects happen to make their beliefs flexible enough to fit in with our scientific facts and findings, and that is just an excuse for being wrong.

Seems to me that everyone is just super close-minded. ;\
