What topics surrounding religion get you riled up?
August 29, 2019 at 8:11 am
I have two:
- When people claim things are God's "plan". Such as the death of a 5 year old child...
- Indoctrination under the guise of "Homeschooling". Idiotic brainwashed women who pump out 6,7,8 kids (with the permission of the husband, of course), and then barricade them at home so they can't think for themselves. Teach the girls how to be brainless homemakers who are supplicants to all men (aka help meet). Hello, child abuse! Shit should be illegal.
How about you? What topic gets you worked up?

That the butchering of an itinerant rabbi 2000 years ago somehow has a positive impact on my life.

Religiously motivated violence, child abuse, or neglect. Something that can cause a parent to betray their child can't be a wholly good thing.
Also any time you see a video about "10 things that destroy atheism", or something like that, half of them will be easily refuted, and the other half is likely to be too vague to be useful.
There are some wise things from Jesus that a lot of Christians ignore. Keep your belief private, and don't shout it in the streets like a hypocrite. Judge not, lest ye be judged. There's a live and let live message in there, as well as helping out people in need. A lot of the things people use to justify hate and violence is in the old testament, yet they want to call themselves Christians, and not jews. There's a lot of hate in the bible, for having a god who is supposed to be mostly about love and mercy.

Only a religious bunch of lunatics would make a practice of cutting off the end of their dicks.
...
If only they had made a habit of cutting off their balls.
The passive eugenics of it would make the practice die out quickly....

Telling children that if they're bad they'll be burnt alive forever.
Been through it myself and it's a fucking long nightmare.
Especially when you know you're bad and always will be.

It's not the topic, but the attitude. The arrogance of thinking one's intuition about the grand things can amount to knowledge, and especially knowledge that the others do not get to possess. I like the theist who says "I don't know, but I believe anyway" not the one who says "I know something you don't, here's some "non-convincer" to support what I say" type.

One really. Specific types of religious belief have an uncommon ability to facilitate our worst impulses, but beyond that religions pretty kosher, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Ignoring science completely, as if it's a joke to justify what you believe to be true with evidence.
Believing that a theory in science is just a hunch.
Denying your children proper health care, to the point where they die.
Not vaccinating your children.

When people say "I believe in science".
My sister's on dating sites, and sometimes some guy usually when responding to questions of religious beliefs, would say he believes in science. My advice to her is stay away such people like the plague. An atheist is perfectly fine, but a guy who says he "believes in science", is just slightly worse than a sociopath, just more lame.
