religion bashing

In the Hawaiian religion, we are truly and completely open-minded. When the Brits conquered Hawai'i they outlawed surfing because it was done in minimal clothing and it was pagan.

Yeah, I've read about that.

Respect is very important, I believe. I'm an atheist and I never tell people that my beliefs are right, and theirs are wrong. I have never just outright bashed someones religion. As long you respect me, I'll respect you.

Why do certian people bash on religion so much, what makes them feel that there beliefs are any better?

who said religion bashing had anything to do with beliefs? I despise all religions....Christianity, Judiism, Islam, etc. It has nothing to do with any beliefs held by any individual within the establishment.

here's where you religious nutjobs get your panties in a bunch. you think life revolves around your beliefs, if somebody doesn't like you it must have to do with your beliefs......because that is what is central to the world.

Religions are about nothing more than using strength in numbers to further a goal......no different than a street gang or military force. This is why religions are always talking about their beliefs to those who are not even in their religion, recruiting more troops.

A man could be the most devout Christian to ever walk the earth. He could live his life by scripture and be self-assured he is going to end up in heaven.......but what good would that do? That's obviously not good enough.... this man has to get together with hundreds, thousands or millions of other people. For what rational reason? He's already going to heaven......he already lives his life by his personal beliefs? There is none........other than to congregate to show strength in numbers and using that "power" to influence others who do not share the same beliefs. 'tis the reason we have organizations like the Christian coalition and whatnot always out to boycott something or another.......after all, if Christians don't like something.....there power should be used to stop others who have different belief systems from enjoying it.

beliefs are fine. I personally think all your paranormal beliefs are cooky but hey......have at it. I do however find it odd that many Christians will go on about all kinds of paranormal stuff including but not limited to angels, invisible men in the sky, the walking dead, etc. but will still label other crazy people who believe in psychics and crap as nutjobs. I myself do not care what others believe. If you believe in invisible men watching you every moment of the day.....fine with me......if you believe your furniture is making fun of you, fine with me..........my only problem arises when a bunch of crazies get together and feel the need to make sure I have to hear about their invisible guy in the sky watching them or their furniture talking to them.

if you believe your furniture is making fun of you, fine with me...

I always thought those happened in nursing homes..........and I was looking forward to it.😱

I don't really bash peoples religions, I just like the fact that I'm made to feel I can't voice my beliefs or impressions or views without condemnation.

upon re-reading my last post........I've decided it was unfair of me to compare the Christians invisible man in the sky watching them to people who hear their furniture talking to them. To those I may have offended I'm sorry. We all know that furniture does actually exist.

And furniture can talk, if you are over weight and sit in a small chair, it might just tell you I'm going to brake in a few minutes. 😆

I hate religion because religion is the source to all confusion war and deceit in the world. Bad things only happen, when people say they're bad.

BULLSHIT!

You were just bashing gays in the other ****ing thread!

And I also remember you 'embracing you own hipocrisy'.

Good job.

Yet....those who are religious tell everyone who isn't or who doesn't follow their religion is going to go to hell, and try to change what they believe.

Hmmm.

Hypocritical much?

Christian scriptures tell them too.

Scriptures never tell us to "bash" any other religion. It tells us to beware of false doctrine but it never tells us to bash them. Thats an additive some Christians take because they're hypocrites and have not learned the concept of being wise as serpents and gentle as doves. It tells us to preach the gospel and also love your neighbor. I haven't met a good pastor yet who's bashed a religion. All we are supposed to do is preach the word of God.

wow it certainly seems as though people who aren't christians can get just as passionate about their faith as the christians do "sharing" their religion. Not a sermon, just a thought.

What stirs up passion, though? Conviction or opposition?

it doesn't matter that much, the end result is nearly if not identical.

You say tomatoe I say potatoe, whatever it's all the same.

Q: Ya hear about the new Jewish car?

A: It stops on a dime and picks it up!

bashing is NEVER cool no matter what your belief.

One thing though. We can't say that all beliefs are true. Some are too much an opposite which make it impossible for ALL religions to be true.

Isn't the serpent a symbol of the Devil?

Word, be like the devil. But be gentle! God forbid Christians strike anyone down for not believing what they do*coughcrusadescough*

Because of discrimination toward nonbelievers and unfair tactics used by some Christians. I have been told by christians that because I am a Buddhist I am going to hell, but if I tell them that their belief is false, they get mad.

You tend to bash and pick on Christianity a lot, so technically the first post applies to you too.

Q: What happened when Christianity went to Europe in the 5/6th Century?

A: The Dark ages.

hmm

Q: Why is there lots of wars in India?

A: Islam, Sihkism, Hinduism and other religions.

hmm

Q: Why is there people in the US who push religion into schools?

A: They can't think clearly and believe it's right.

hmm

And you wonder why I hate it. 😬
