I must have miss where I raped a little boy and went to a confessional.

Wow. That was an awesome display of mental gymnastics that even Cartman would have been proud of.

Well done, on failing to understand my post so succinctly.

Thats what I said genius. Does everyone on this have a low IQ?

Nope, just you and the brigand of Zionists that have been camping here over the last week.

Nope, it is compared to human nature. A belief that they believe nothing is wrong with getting high and hate cops for trying to bust them.

They don't hate the cops for doing their job, they hate the legislation.

You just clearly missed the point that most "wrong doings" on this planet isn't based on belief, it is based on human nature.

I don't see how harming oneself is equally as bad as harming those around you, incomparable. This thread is a bunch of mambo jumbo that needs better wording. Would you consider double parking as wrong doing or human nature?.....

And also it is foolish to subscribe to one religion over another because 99.99999% of the time your religion was not chosen based on devotion but on your location of birth and upbringing.

It's not atheists that are against the religious, its empirical knowledge. Atheists are just on knowledge's team.

Very good point but do you not agree it is human nature to have beliefs in what ever you want and that there is really no difference or wrongs between the two besides beliefs?

Wrong doing is human nature because we are all capable of doing it.

Since you are having a hard time comprehending life and probably the reason why Obama is in office again...let me define human nature to you.

Human nature:
The general psychological characteristics, feelings, and behavioral traits of humankind, regarded as shared by all humans.

Everyone is capable of doing "wrong doings." Teachers, construction works, clerks, preachers, etc.. are all capable of doing the same thing. So an argument that religion is base on killing or wars is invalid because it is a trait shared by all humans.

And I have no idea where you are from but from just about every stoner I have met hate the police because the police are the one that arrest them. But, it doesnt matter in your logic the legislation is up held by the police. I have a major in criminal justice by the way.

Keep dodging the question and keep branding all religious for your own benefit.

I think Im pretty sure I understood the post because that is all you did

Plus, your little list of crap, everyone has the capability of doing all that because of....wait for it...wait for it....


HUMAN NATURE. Religion is no different from Atheism besides the belief system.

Simple Religion is man made and a means to control others.
God should be a personal relationship, a private one. No need to preach to others and hurt others who believe differently.

Umm, there isn't.

No, you said stoner's believe there isn't. Insulting people doesn't help your already lacking case, especially when you're wrong and insult people, because that just makes you look like the one with a low IQ.

And in fact, I would like to now how I am wrong. I can tell why, I am wrong because my belief is not your belief but you wont see my telling you that. How ironic that in the OP, I stated that atheist find in it their destiny to ruin a religious person's life by telling them they are wrong. Imagine that.

How am I controlled? I haven't been to church in 2 and half years but I still strong in my faith than I was 2 years ago. The reason why I left the church, is because most church goers are morons but I didn't leave God. I decided on Non-Denominational

Since you are having a hard time comprehending life and probably the reason why Obama is in office again...let me define human nature to you.

I suppose it's human nature as well for one to hurl insults when engaged in a losing battle?

I believe that what you believe is a filter for how you see the world. But, believing something is true when it isn't is not okay. Falsehoods are a sickness to the mind especially when they are used to interpret reality. It doesn't matter what you know about something as long as its true.

How am I battling anyone? This is merely a discussion on how religion is bad, that no one can seem to answer. And how is stating a generalized fact, that was no where thrown at you an insult. I completely understand that you have no idea where I'am coming from but that is why we have sheeps and shepherds.

You have been controlled since you started believing in your brand of religion, you may have left your church but you still believe in something written down by man.
It is alll well and good but will you preach to your kids what you believe? If so their beliefs have been controled by you...man not god.
If god exists we really have no understanding of him/she/it.

So, what is true then? I believe the definition to truth would be having facts. In that case, neither side can prove itself. So, isn't belief part of the human nature? I'm come on this is psychology 101.

Okay and? Atheism is written down by man and neither side can prove itself. So, how is my belief or religion in general wrong? Belief is a human nature. Some believe in a God(s) and some believe in no God(s).

Still can't find anything to prove religion wrong?
It is your logic not mine.

Oh and I forgot the that Columbine boys and the VT shooting we're done in the name of God. Oh and the theater shooting. Still this is your logic.
