Why does it matter?
Dude, I goof around with you (actually poke fun) because you are funny. This topic is way over that pin head of yours, ok? Stick to..."70% hahahaha"...that's where I want you. This isn't for you, ok?
Logic and reasoning when talking religion, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does it matter?
Well you made it very clear that anyone who believed in a God was this and that, so I'm curious if you see your parents in that same boat. Curious about what turned you away.
So tell me are mom and dad cool with your decision to dump their religion?
What did I say about those who believe in God?
Only parents would not be cool with their child making their own decision on their religious beliefs or lack of them, why does it matter to them
paste
Feels good not being a coward who believes in nonsense out of fear.
I wonder what a good reason to believe in God would be for those who don't need fairy tales to make themselves feel happy.
That doesn't apply to all believers; just cowards like you who believe out of fear.
So why do others believe?
indoctrination.
indoctrinated persons are expected not to question or critically examine the doctrine they have learned.
It's similar to a kidnapped child having feelings for the kidnapper after so many years. The only difference with religion is that the child wasn't kidnapped. It's the indoctrinated continuing the cycle on their own children, and its sickening.
From Birth they are told these things, so its only natural that they believe. It's not easy to question the people that brought you into the world, after all they where here before you so they must know more. The abductee refuses logic even when it's staring them in the face, to believe otherwise would be to believe your parents and peers (or abductee) lied to you... most people cant accept that. When your told something from the moment of birth until the age when you become self dependent, it's hard to let go of that belief.
It takes a strong person to question things about their beliefs.

Avante doesn't take this as an excuse even though its extremely valid
You grow up noticing all those around you with a God in their life aren't like the ones without a God in theirs. Uncle Bill doesn't believe, the guy has a tattoo of Tom & Jerry over his pecs, he drinks rot gut whiskey and smells like piss. The guy next door doesn't believe, he beats his wife and kicks his dog. While those in your orbit who do believe aren't playing that bull . It doesn't take long to figure it out.
Those are some really good examples, so what about the priests that rape kids...?
I respect those that believe.
I respect those that don't believe.
I don't respect those that think they know.
I don't respect those that put down those that believe the opposite of what they believe.
Interesting. So you think non-believers are the ones committing crimes is higher than believers?
Shall I pull up the numbers?
Do you REALLY want me to pull up the numbers of religious people in prison vs non-believers?
There is no point, he will say you're lying or the numbers are lying
I have no problem with people believing in something, the problem is that their beliefs are pushed on us non-believers CONSTANTLY and Im tired of it. If they push, Im gonna push back.
Did you know "One Nation under God" wasn't put into any USA government until 1951? It was never intended by the founders of this nation. Separation of church from state is the founding of this country and we have allowed that to be all over on because of religious right wingers. This was never meant to be a "Christian" nation.... it was meant to be a FREE nation. Our forefathers fled from the church to escape prosecution and here we are replaying the events again. When are you morons going to wake the up?
I don't give a if you believe a man in the sky watches everything we do, go on and believe that, but quit trying to turn this country into a church state.

They are ing freaks who need an ass whipping.
I don't give a what you believe in, why would I? Worship a green dildo or nothiing at all I don't care.
but they have belief... you make out people without are ed up and those with are fine
Dude, not all black guys are fast, yet the fastest humans are black. There will always be those who don't fit in. Who hasn't noticed that those heavy into religion do live by a stricter set of life rules than those without a God, we've all seen it. We all know people like that.
If I'm looking to rent out a house of mine (if I had any) I'd much rather rent to some church goes than some ...bah humbuggers.
Well when the leaders of Catholicism in the pope have covered up rape you hate the think what other bad goes on behind closed doors
That has nothing at all to do with my life, I just know what I've seen in my life, Those into religion are more successful, less apt to be a drunk, a druggie, a cheat, and an asshole.
Yeah more likely to be fine covering up stuff. True
I don't care, means nothing to me. I just know I'd rather be around those who believe than those who don't. Yes there is a difference.
