What do you hate about religion?

[psychoslice]

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.

And you are an example of the arrogant atheist I was talking about.

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

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.

Dho, I know that, but don't call me an atheist, don't put me into your little box.

So... Imbecile. Got it.

Up you, you arrogant jerk.

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.

That's hilarious. Now some folks will start worshiping you as their savior and start a religion based on your words and deeds. (Hint: bring back the temple prostitutes. They were very popular in the old days.)

If you wouldn't say the same tired shit over and over again that people have corrected you on a number of times then no one would get exasperated and question your intelligence, and whining about it is just setting yourself up.

Nice comeback though, takes me back to the 2nd grade. Ah, those were the days.

If you talk to me like the way you have, then I treat you the same, no one bullies me, OK !!.

Psycho, if you don't believe in any gods, then you're an atheist. If you have white skin, then you're a Caucasian. If you have a child, then you are a parent.

What is scary about accepting that you fit the definition of an atheist? Even theists with an ounce of humor will admit that they're atheists in regards to all but one of the many gods out there; some people just take the disbelief one god further and are fully atheist.

Look son no one is trying to bully you, brush off a little exasperated ad hominem and see what we are actually getting at. When you make a habit of repeating the same erroneous bullshit people are going to call you out on it, especially in a discussion forum and especially when you keep bringing it up and defending it. The nature of atheism isn't up for debate; it's a disbelief in any deities and nothing more.

Sorry, but that's a fact jack.

Its not debating atheism, its how some are so arrogant, I called myself an atheist, but when I realized how so many are just plain jerks, I changed my mind. I'll say what I want to say if you like it or not, you don't own this forum, if you don't agree with me and I piss you off, then keep to yourself, don't putt in where I am replying, because I am always going to say just what I want to say, if you like it or not.

[Bob Kelso]

Hey be an ignorant rube if you'd like, just don't go around whining when people call you out on it. I certainly will.

Also, do you see the irony of you saying that 'you don't own the forum' you're going to say what you like, and then telling me to not reply? Hilarious.

I called myself a white male, but when I realized how so many are just plain jerks, I changed my mind.

Are we not allowed to say what we wish to say? Why do we have to keep to ourselves, but you get free reign to "say just what I want to say, if you like it or not"?

You can say whatever you want, your intelligence will come through with what you do say, are you going to be a jerk like that other jerk ?.
