Religion bashing
i've said it before and i'll say it again: i have no problem with religious humor. but bashing is uncool.
i frequently come across posters (and certain mods) who not only post untrue garbage about religions but also bash them for no reasons, in threads they don't belong. when these "jokes" come from people who show up on the religion thread and openly display their disdain for religion then these "jokes" stop being funny.
that becomes worse when "intellectual" individuals say they are only saying the truth and that its your own fault for being offended. i call bullshite. randomly coming to threads and bashing religions when its not involved in a thread is not only stupid but also against forum rules, and so is offending people based on their religion. not to mention being pure a55holelry. if anyone's willing to actually debate certain issues then that's what the religon thread is for. but lots of them don't (dare i say, they cant?).
certain "intellectual" people also show up on the religion forums and bash religion left and right, flame people following these religions and before you know it, your opinions don't matter because you believe in god and believing in god is not intellectual. since when did being intellectual have anything to do with your religion? when did a select group get together and decide who is and who isn't intellectual? and when exactly did atheism/agnosticism certify this intelectual standard anyway?
to me atheism/agnosticism today is starting to head down the rock n roll path: what was an intellectual, individualistic stand that's reduced to a bunch of 40-year-old man childs whining about their highschool breakups. and i guess that was only natural, because all rebellions end up becoming what they were suppsoed to rebel against.
lots of atheism/agnosticism on these forums are about as close-minded, hateful and immature as those "evil" christians and muslims they love to condemn.
and that's a disgrace.
