DO you take Religion seriously.

[GENERAL WISE]

I am pretty much an atheist. But I would not try and convert people into being atheists. Most people are born a certain religion. Its like me telling you that your not really a Haitian (when you think you are), instead you are just a human being.

to me its less about conversion and more about realization of facts and logic. and i think it is worth while having people question what is around them, because if i dont, i feel like im giving up. yes it is very hard to show a religious person the ways of free thinking and a good amount of them flat out dont want to hear it, because their faith has been beaten into them since they can remember being alive. but ive had discussions with many mature people about religion and somewhat gotten them to value reason and science over faith.

but the dog barking at a car analogy is pretty weak considering these are still human beings. we shouldn't be degregating them to unsentient creatures because they are still capable of rational thought, its just that their faith in God rules out any chance of looking for answers. you cant approach them like you definately know 100% more about everything in existance than them or you'll just recieve contempt and disagreement out of spite.

if any progress is going to be made against religion (as there should be) it wont ever happen if people are too lazy to argue the truthful side, just being content in being right. but of course there are many many people lost beyond all reach of logic, hopefully they will soon die out

peace

So no..? Because the Black man isn't divine to you (i.e you don't worship a black dude on the street for creating you)

After Mike Tyson said. "I fuck you in the asshole infront of everyone you scared white bitch...your scared....scared of the real man..i'll fuck you till you love me faggot." i begun worshipping him as the creator of all existance

i couldn't disagree more.. division between man does cause 'bother' and through history religion was never kept as a personal value it was taken advantage of as a cause for control and partizanship. obviously religion has killed more innocent people than anything else, but even i admit that is a broad and over-used statement. but nonetheless many many people have died senselessly because of it.

maybe your point is that IF religion is kept personal than it causes no problems, and i would agree with that. but the problem with your statement is that the average person does not keep it personal.

i just believe in the strength of the human soul over a figment of our imagination and insecurity.....

its a serious topic that effects the vast majority of people on Earth, whether a believer or unbeliever, so yeah id say we do

[GENERAL WISE]

The only thing I hate is when people force their religion on the media (i.e Televangelists) to make a living. These people are Using Religion as it was meant...to control.
