What do you hate about religion?

[tor]

Who do religious people hate?

Everything, anyone, that does not adhere to their theistic worldview of how life should be led. Their hate is not always clearly shown for the average viewer, but it is most assuredly always there even if hidden under the false guise of what they erroneously consider love for the sinner.

So they hate people from outside of their group. And you hate it even though you live in a bunker. So you want to protect the people who live close to theists from theistic hatred. So you are a superhero?

So you are a superhero?

No. Why do you even keep using that term?

No. Why do you even keep using that term?

Because I am. 40% of my hatred to religion comes from bad influence religion had on me and 60% of my hatred for religion comes from my desire to save the world. I am a superhero.

A better question, for the sake of succinctness, would be what don't I hate about religion. I don't hate some of the charity work that comes from it (which in all honesty, in my experience, is usually just self-serving "Oh, look how pious and helpful I am" bullshit but it helps the needy all the same), I don't hate every theist, but I do despise the vast majority that I have met for being proudly, willfully ignorant bigoted fuckwads.

I hate the arrogance in religion, and atheism, this is why I don't call myself either.

*bolded by me*

Psycho I feel the need to remind you that atheism is the lack of belief in gods and nothing else. I'm quite sure this has been explained to you and if not here you go.

The arrogance is that they think they know it all, because they have science on their side, but don't get me wrong, I do lean more towards atheism.

Are you an imbecile? Any honest critical thinker who has 'science on their side' is fully aware of the fact that they don't have all the answers, in other words they are honestly ignorant... that's kind of why science is a thing.

I have been on spiritual forums and I have been insulted by mainly Christians, but this forum takes the cake, I have been discusseded of how people here talk to each other, and the arrogance of thinking they are right with everything they say, I will never wear the name atheist, or Christian, but if I had to pick one, it would be Christian.

Well shit, when someone comes along pontificating about what you do and don't believe, whilst also posting shit about stuff which has been demonstrably proven to be false (read: vaccinations, which save lives on no daily basis and would have eradicated several diseases had people not got into their thick skulls they were somehow 'bad'), then we tend to get a little angsty.

But hey, don't let reality get you down. Nobody here is claiming that we are 'always right', just that you appear to be mostly wrong. There's a difference.

There are no other choices.

If one accepts the premise that at least one god exists to be true, they are a theist,

If they do not accept that premise, they are an atheist.

So, the question is, do you currently accept the premise that a god exists to be true?

Atheist isn't a label. It is a description of a person's position on one and only one claim.

[ElectricAnxiety]

I don't hate anything about religion and I don't blame religion for human nature.

What is the arrogance of atheism? xD

The arrogance is that they think they know it all, because they have science on their side, but don't get me wrong, I do lean more towards atheism.

No, science does not claim to 'know it all'. That's religion.


What do I hate? The arrogant, willful ignorance.

[jesus_wept]

Say what is that about religion that you specifically dislike.

Religious people. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have a problem with religion.

So... Imbecile. Got it.
