Sorry Wind But Leon hit the nail right on the head here.This is a topic your way off base on and clueless about.
Right.
Anyway....
So how bout them androgynous nephilim? Eh?
*looks around*
...ah damn, wrong thread for that too.

I guess it's up to me to rescue the thread. Here we go:
Religion = Wrong on every count. Atheism = Sweet nectar of life for the little boys and girls of the world.
Thoughts?

I linked to a post, not the page.*slaps forehead*
And it was reasoning for not believing, or at believing (quite assuredly) that Christianity is bollocks.
And faith is the problem. I understand it completely....I just couldn't disagree with it more than I already do. It's the single most harmful force in religion, both in the form of physical violence and the indirect violence it comitts on reason.

None of course but people prefer to dodge questions like that so they can remain pedantic.

A noted, there is nothing wrong with having faith in the abstract, but what about the other side of faith that RJ talked about, the side that isn't about "feeling good about yourself" or being a better person, the side where people use their "faith" in something (God) to suppress others?

Faith can't effect someone else. What you do might have some effect but having faith cannot harm others.

Using faith as a rationalization for doing something? Yeah, that can end very badly.
Which I think was what/relates to Digimarks point of "both in the form of physical violence and the indirect violence it comitts on reason" and why RJ's point of 'not having faith/believing in God is harmful. Which I find retarded, because they is absolutely no grounds to connect atheism as being harmful to oneself, while blindfaith has/can cause harm.
