Religion is a choice people are born with. You can't live anyone elses life so why judge their choices or insult them for it, as long as know one bothers me I bother no one else and my life is just fine for that.
The moderate believers believe the same basic principals that the crazy ones do. They're all reading the same book. The crazy ones are the ones taking it literally. And where in the Bible does it suggest that it should not be taking it literally? How about we criticize the bullshit document that they base their beliefs on. Because killing gay people is in the Bible.
i think of it like this, if that belief makes them feel good, then why screw with what makes them feel good??!! now I don't stick to a religion (christian, Jewish, ext) i pretty much only believe in a after life, if your good you'll have a peaceful after life, if your bad... than well something bad will occur and that makes ME feel good and idc if someone else believes different.... its what I believe in.
@AboutTheCross- No one made you watch his videos. Your comment just proves that you're dumb. ... and nothing more. *rolls eyes* Should you really be watching this I wonder? What ever happen to "see no evil"? Also, You are calling names and being EVIL. What would god do? .. Your a walking contradiction. How pathetic.
Hello im a christian and Im not going to attack onision why would i go at him just leave him alone ....everyone has a right to say what they wanna say and in this video the message is prly just bcuz somebody believes in something u dont believe in doesnt mean u got to go disrespect what there following onision is a person just like us who have ideas opinion thoughs and feelings
God is a symbol. Cursing the symbol carries strong shock and meaning: cursing a symbol curses the inherent power people find in that faith, which some draw on for negativity.
You're correct, of course: Such an action serves no true purpose, only fueling the fires of conflict between the different types of people. But few have this understanding.
@KhaiaShadow Don't get me wrong, i agree with you :P but it's just that God isn't exactly a symbol. God is like a whole other being.. Like...ehh... humans are not God... and animals aren't God... but i get what you mean :D
I learned recently its best not to say the word "Christian" to an Atheist - they automatically think you are a gay hating narrow minded bitch, which isn't always true, I don't know anyone who believes what I believe and hates gay people, or anyone for that matter,
My bass teacher told me the most hilarious thing: Agnostic people aren't against an entity, and they'll listen to what you have to say; but atheists will throw rocks at you while you're at Church. It may not be true, necessarily, but I found it to be hilarious.
I'm a christian and we have a christian club at my school where they basically walk around campus, judging all of the cliques and throwing the word at them. They are just pushing everyone away.
Any true beleiver in God knows that God loves everyone and I mean EVERYONE!!! People who don't beleive just need to respect other's veiws and keep their negative comments to themselves.
If God is love, and loving someone is LOVE. And Im a Christian and I don't think God hates Gays. Because you are allowed to love anyone if it makes you happy.
If I was you're friend and you don't respect my opinions then why are you that persons friend even if you don't believe be respectful to that person if they aren't respectful to you're opinions then why are you there friend.
I don't think there's anything wrong with believing on a god or following a religion, only how close minded people become and use their beliefs to exploit other people.
THANK. YOU. <3 (: I am so glad you made this video! As a Christian, I I'm used to people criticizing me just for being Christian. And the bible warns that people are going to hate you if you follow Jesus. But videos like this really help. There ARE unfortunately, Christians who give Christianity a bad name. And since no one's perfect, we all do to some degree. But because of that, people sometimes don't see that it's really just about love, forgiveness, and relating to other people and God.
THANK YOU ONISION!!! I know you're not a Christian, but I am and if I wanna believe in Jesus as the Christ, I don't need people assuming I'm gonna be a hateful, angry bitch with no life.
Homo sexuality is not a sin. Abuse of sex is a sin. But homo sexual intercourse is not a sin if it is sex caused by a real love. God did not blow up Sodom and Gamora because the people in it were having same gender sex. It was because they were having that sex for the sake of having it. I am trying to make my own branch of christianity, my book will correct the branches that went wrong but not force my views upon those people. God does not want people to blindly follow the church,
Maybe because God "hates gays" as they say he does. Maybe this God really does supposedly find homosexuality a sin. Would that not be a good reason to flip off this hypothetical being? And if not, how can we (humans) tell what some omniscient, omnipotent being "feels" if we have such a short lifetime and understanding?
I go to a branch of the new church christian school and we have religion class every day. and our ministers tell us to not hate the faith if we don't like it, dislike the orginization because they are the ones telling you what you are hearing. Because one of the points of faith is that its YOURS not someone else's
If you weren't completely in love and happy I would seek you out and ask you to marry me. :) but no, I just mean that really was beautiful what you said and I just had that same thing to say to someone the other and that is what I think as well. I am sooo happy that I subscribed to you I have nooo idea, sir. :)
I'm not going to go up to random people and say fuck god for no apparent reason, because that's just silly on so many different levels. However, if someone is going to bring it up in a serious conversation, there is no need to coddle them like babies.
@GothZombe I disagree (not saying you're wrong, just addressing my opinion), I always saw religion as a way to explain the unexplainable. Once said "god" is explainable then that religion is found as null. One example is that of the Greeks, what makes them "wrong" compared to Christians? What the Greeks believed in was able to be explained. Sorry if this was an inconvinence to read I merely wished to express my opinion. Thank you.
@darkdudironaji just a question, I realized this is two months old, but if you are dating, doesn't mean that eventually you will want to have sex? I mean a lot of people would rather just have sex, not date at all,
i want to know, how is it that i aggree with EVERYTHING you say??? its freaking me out! even if you have a video with more dislikes than likes, i aggree fully with you! i totally love you, and ill stick by you to the end <3 <3 love you!
@blizzardxd1 dude exactly! if he "hated them" why would he make them? they're born that way and they can't help it. don't judge people for being the way they are. it just makes you worse. i feel special saying that :)
I think religion has a generally harmful effect on the world, through politics and brainwashing. The problem is that this isn't about just a few crazy fundamentalists. It's about the moderates who vote for them. The moderates who AREN'T calling out them out, who donate to an institution that is affecting the world in a positive way. Religion itself needs to be examined and critiqued just like any idea; it doesn't deserve the protection society has given it.
if god is truly almighty, why would he create something(gays) just so he could hate them and not approve of their feelings. Isn't "god" suppose to know everything before it even happens. So he knew they would be gay, knew they can't help how they feel and knew they would exist b/c he would create them. What kind of logic is that to hate your own creation when you knowingly made them who they are!?
@luvbites23 to answer (I know it was 2 months ago) God didn't create homosexuality, he created man, man has free will to decide what he wants, man decide to be other men, that's where God has the problem, He doesn't hate them he hates what they do,
and if in fact He did create them, then, going with the Bible, He still would not hate them nor have a problem with them, just because someone says God hates something doesn't mean He does, if you want to know read the Bible, people can be stupid
@RAR5391 1 If god created man and not their choices, and he is "all-knowing" then wouldn't he already know the choices someone makes before they are created, therefor he creates them anyways? FWI someone's sexual orientation is NOT a choice. Why would god hate anything? Why would a divine god share a petty human emotion? I have read some, find it very boring, but when I do understand what it says, it is the opposite of my personal beliefs. Thanks for at least sending me a respectful response.
@luvbites23 I am always respectful, it's not right to shove your beliefs on someone, in my response I gave an answer from both sides, if it was a choice or not, if its not, and that's what you believe, then God doesn't hate them, He loves all his children, as the Bible says, but if you don't believe the Bible then it doesn't matter
Well stands to reason anything good would anything bad, and anything bad would hate anything good, If
@RAR5391 you believe in god then there must be somethings that are unacceptable, for example most people find murder unacceptable, and it would make sense that their God would hate that, it may be forgivable under some belief systems, but usually it is something hated
@RAR5391 and I appreciate it. It does matter to me, you don't need a book to have connection to your god. Thats just something to give you guidance if you wanted/believed. But I highly doubt if you took a christian's bible away they would stop believing in Jesus or god. Just saying a book is not necessary to make heartfelt decisions about yourself and how you perceive others.
@luvbites23 I agree, I was just saying if your beliefs differ from the Bible, then it doesn't matter, to you, what it says, unless you are trying to understand someone else's beliefs, in that case, people who try to follow the Bible usually consider being gay a choice, and therefore a choice to sin, God would hate the act, not the person, the hate being focused on the evil/bad, not the person, anyone who says God hates the person who is gay has not read the Bible,
@RAR5391 as far as the all knowing part He gave us free will to choose like letting us find our own way instead of forcing us to what He wants
so that's Bible-believers believe, but that doesn't mean you need to agree, every needs think for themselves and as long as everyone is respectful and kind to each other, then we can disagree nothing irritates more than someone saying that people who believe a certain way are narrow minded when the won't even try to see it the other way even to disagree
Personally, I view the gesture of "Giving the hypothetical God the very literal finger" is an attack on the IDEA of the religion in question, not on the followers. This is something which has been very prominent through our recent history; insult an idea, ideology or political stance and the people following said idea etc. will immediately take that as a personal attack for no concrete reason. If someone told me that "Atheism is stupid", I wouldn't feel insulted, I'd chuckle.
@TheLittleTpot then your not most Atheists, the Atheists I have talked to all seem offended if someone says that there is a God, and take it personal and make a point of "educating the narrow minded"
@RAR5391 Rather than insulted, it sounds more like they get exasperated. After all, for many of us atheists, explaining to an adult why there is no way that God exists is just like trying to explain to said adult why Santa Claus can't possibly exist.
@TheLittleTpot well the ones I'm talking about jump at any chance to "set the record straight", and then criticize religious people of shoving there beliefs in their faces, when they are doing the same thing, you would think they would be understanding and have a more "agree to disagree" attitude, being open minded and all
@RAR5391 Being open minded is one thing, but most non-believers have a bit of a beef with the idea of believing in something without as much as a bread crumb of proof. No matter how open your mind may be, you still need a fair bit of -something- to motivate you to accept certain ideas. The thing about faith and religion is that a lot of atheists find it so utterly ridiculous that it doesn't even deserve even any respect whatsoever. Again, the similarity to Santa Claus comes to mind.
@TheLittleTpot I realize this, but some religious people would find the fact the someone doesn't believe in God utterly ridiculous as well, but I don't see those people going around practically looking for Atheists to say they are wrong and they need to provide proof, obviously this isn't all Atheists just the ones I have come in contact with
I think smoking is ridiculous but I don't stop at every smoker I see and tell them they are stupid,
@RAR5391 Well, it's mostly because of the reason behind people finding the existance or nonexistance of God ridiculous. Proof vs. Faith. If someone told you that there is an invisible and intangible dragon in your room, would you believe them? Personally, I would find them to be just a little touched in the head.
As for people actively looking for atheists to tell them that they're wrong, trust me, they're out there, and they outnumber the atheists doing the same thing by a LOT.
i think you finally got it onision :) i completely agree
Religion is good for some people, it helps some people just through one more day, and those people can be the nicest people in the world and never judge or hate discriminatly because of religion. Religion isn't the problem it's the butt hicks that believe it gives them the right to hate and judge and discriminate and just be stupid butt hicks that are the problem.
every group has extremest people that pour animal blood on others. or burning crosses or killing some one ((dungeons and dragons reference)). i know people have different view always h ave always will but not a valid reasons for dignity to be thrown to the wind
it only take one idiot to make an entire group to look bad
There's no right way of going about beliefs. People will believe in what they want to. But if they choose to believe in something, they shouldnt call out "rights" and "wrongs". Just let others be. And if what they are doing may seem unjust, just forgive. No matter the situation, forgiveness is ALWAYS the answer. I love you, Onision. Thanks for the video.
Wow. I actually agree with you completley with you Onision on this. I can tell you that Christians feel the same way about the radical, homosexual hating "christians" for giving us a bad name. It just shows it goes both ways
I being a believer in God have never put anyone down for their beliefs or lack there of. It is not my place nor the place of others on this earth to "judge" others for any reason. People who judge on either side of the line are the ones who push people to the "other" side of the line.... no one wants to be near a nasty hateful person no matter what there belief is.
I don't know what I believe in, but i still respect other people's beliefs....why can't other people? If you want your beliefs to be respected, respect everyone else's.
I agree so much, people who don't believe in god should just mind their own business about religion. And you're right they should rather look on the negative side of that specific religion rather than insulting somebody who has a strong belief in them.
It's the same reason people misuse philosophy to justify a heinous crime or existence. In some way it breeds an incorrect response due to how people (like yourself) think differently.
You are a very smart man!. Thank you! I bevlive in god myself and i am so tired of people thinking i hate everyone just because i belive there is a god. It's very sad and really, i am now afraid of telling people i belive in god because i know what will follow.
Simply put as a follower of God we are taught to live as Jesus did. So in its simplest terms, we are told to love others. So if you really are a Christian act like one and dont judge. Thats not our Job. Our job is to love them. But make sure you dont think you are better then them because you are not!
Who is this self-important, posing tool and why does he think his teenage philosophical ramblings are worth posting on the internet? The worst thing is I cannot get back the life I wasted on this absolute dribble. Once this guy gets over the taste of his own dong, he may awaken to how lame both the subject matter is and also how lame his take on it is.
On the other hand, why do (some) religious people say "the way you live is wrong, you should believe in god" to those who doesn't.
Saying you're a christian means that you support the crusades, mass murder of those who believe in a different god it even means you support the holocaust, especially if you're catholic. Why? Because jews were killed. What did they do to Jesus? How can you like the people of those who killed Jesus? Get it?
As a christian it's against your belief that there are multiple gods. There can be only one. That's why the northern euopean polytheistic religions were banned and exchanged with christianity. Because if there are multiple gods, there is no wonder why it was such a mess.
And as a non-beliver, "flipping off god" is just moronic.... it's says itself.
There is nothing wrong with having a belief however it is very wrong to FORCE that belief on other people. I don't believe there is a god, that doesn't give you the right to tell me to hell. Having such belief doesn't give you the right to discriminate and/or abuse other people regardless of their sexual preferences.
I don't think I should live my life following an out-dated book. I keep it to myself, why cant religious people do the same?
The essence of religion is harmful. Imagine you are dealing with an antisemite, you wouldn't follow him around asking him to change his ways, you would simply set up a campaign that the eradication of any race is wrong. Religion needs to be dealt with the same way. The guy who flipped off God did wrong if he just wanted to make the religious fellows mad, but if he did have a point of breaking a "taboo" I would support him.
Would you flip someone off because he/she believes that all gays should be exterminated? I think you would. The moderate religious person is not actually religious. He doesn't kill his neighbor working on a Sunday or think women are half worthy. Religion is a myth a dangerous myth and just as it should be educated that planet earth is round it should also be educated that the Abrahamian religions, the Indian beliefs and so forth were human beings's primitive attempt to understand life.
As many issues as I have with organized religion, I'm a strong believer in letting everyone follow the faith (or lack of) that they choose, so long as they aren't harming or annoying others. Atheists can be douchebags just as much as religious nutjobs can.
Religion is a cancerous growth on humanity and social evolution.
Everything we have today is because of the secularism of modern society. The internet, medicine, transport, youtube to name a few. To think if we did not have the dark ages which were a result of religion, we could be hundreds of years ahead, both technologically and socially.
Religion masquerades itself is a moral compass for humanity, where it in-fact only serves to separate us and keep us in darkness.
Oh thank the Lord you said that, I believe in God & I used to get anoyed when you would say the all people who believe in God Hated gay people & whatever you used to say, But what you said now Makes sence & I agree with you even if our religious views are different. I hate it when people protest bad things & then said that its what God or other religious figer wants, kuz its not. So thank you, cyrously :)
GO ON FACEBOOK IF YOU HAVE A FACEBOOK, AND LIKE ONISION, THEN ON SEARCH, TYPE IN, GOD. LATER YOU LOOK AT THE COMMENTS. YOU WILL SEE ONISION SAY SOMETHING MEAN THAT YOU SHOULDN'T SAY EVER IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD. I believe in God.
i agree with you 100%. i can respect someone who follows god. and i don't, myself believe in him. I usually say im agnostic. but when stupid atheists post just plain ignorant things about god or his followers it makes them no better than the westburo baptist church guys.
I actually agree with you here (which is rare) and I don't hate on God, I do go after people who I think have bad and dangerous ideas, and it doesn't get a lot of views:
I hate it when they call us non-believers. WE believe in things and have faith in things, it just happens not to be your thing we believe in. I understand we need to focus on criticizing the negative ones instead of the ones who have the same beliefs, and their not even doing anything.
i think he was focusing mainly on the the people who place their faith in god, because of the example he presented at the begginning of the video. i think he meant non-god believers. but obviously everyone believes in something.
Absolutely, bro! Couldn't have said it better myself. Also, I truly respect how you accept new information, and then change what you believe only if you find the new info to be correct. That's a true sign of maturity. :)
I have my own religous beliefs, other people have theirs, I dont see why there has to be this"war" between anyone, but I do find it interesting that there are only 3 religions in the world that have never been the cause for war, they are, Buddism, music and art.
no matter what you believe or what you don't believe in someone is going to criticizes you. Because people in our world are just closed-minded. and yes I am a Christan
Good on you onision! I'm a christian but Iam completely alternative, as in style, music, political views & way of thinking so I really appreciate you saying this.
I also really appreciate how you can admit that your views change over time, that's completely normal, you are not a hypocrite, just someone evolving... :0)
I'm catholic so i believe in God but if you don't that's not a problem to me. to each their own. i've never tried to force someone to believe in God and i never will. whether you believe in God or several gods or no god at all doesn't bother me and it shouldn't bother anyone.
I belive in god but im not saying im perfect not swearing or anything. People that dont belive dont have to scream it in our faces that there opion and i have mine no need to be a jerk
sigh why does this crap happen anyways just freakin respect people
yeah christians should never preach on hate. we are taught to teach love and love and love, and if they are teaching hatred well then they dont know what they are doing. either way if your christian or not you should always teach love. if you wanna be an atheist cool! but dont be disrespectful, just talk about it. no problems there :)
The thing is, I'm an atheist and I usually don't talk shit about others religion. But when they start talking crazy shit and shove down their believes down my throat, that's when I start hating. IF you know what I mean..
I thought this very good also very much respect that he says he's still learning and his views will chang as he grows. I just say whatever gets you through the night. But yes please don't tell somone they are going to burn in hell for geting drunk or being gay or anyother bull shit.
I NEED to know where you got that sweater you're wearing and what brand it is!! I've been looking for it FOREVER!! Please reply :D

Homo sexuality is not a sin. Abuse of sex is a sin. But homo sexual intercourse is not a sin if it is sex caused by a real love. God did not blow up Sodom and Gamora because the people in it were having same gender sex. It was because they were having that sex for the sake of having it. I am trying to make my own branch of christianity, my book will correct the branches that went wrong but not force my views upon those people. God does not want people to blindly follow the church,

Maybe because God "hates gays" as they say he does. Maybe this God really does supposedly find homosexuality a sin. Would that not be a good reason to flip off this hypothetical being? And if not, how can we (humans) tell what some omniscient, omnipotent being "feels" if we have such a short lifetime and understanding?

I go to a branch of the new church christian school and we have religion class every day. and our ministers tell us to not hate the faith if we don't like it, dislike the orginization because they are the ones telling you what you are hearing. Because one of the points of faith is that its YOURS not someone else's

@GothZombe I disagree (not saying you're wrong, just addressing my opinion), I always saw religion as a way to explain the unexplainable. Once said "god" is explainable then that religion is found as null. One example is that of the Greeks, what makes them "wrong" compared to Christians? What the Greeks believed in was able to be explained. Sorry if this was an inconvinence to read I merely wished to express my opinion. Thank you.

I nowhere in the Bible does it say that being gay is a sin. It says men having sex with one another is a sin, but being gay is perfectly fine.
FUN FACT NUMBER 2!!!!!
It says absolutely nothing about two women getting it on lol

I think religion has a generally harmful effect on the world, through politics and brainwashing. The problem is that this isn't about just a few crazy fundamentalists. It's about the moderates who vote for them. The moderates who AREN'T calling out them out, who donate to an institution that is affecting the world in a positive way. Religion itself needs to be examined and critiqued just like any idea; it doesn't deserve the protection society has given it.

if god is truly almighty, why would he create something(gays) just so he could hate them and not approve of their feelings. Isn't "god" suppose to know everything before it even happens. So he knew they would be gay, knew they can't help how they feel and knew they would exist b/c he would create them. What kind of logic is that to hate your own creation when you knowingly made them who they are!?
luvbites23 9 months ago
@luvbites23 to answer (I know it was 2 months ago) God didn't create homosexuality, he created man, man has free will to decide what he wants, man decide to be other men, that's where God has the problem, He doesn't hate them he hates what they do,
and if in fact He did create them, then, going with the Bible, He still would not hate them nor have a problem with them, just because someone says God hates something doesn't mean He does, if you want to know read the Bible, people can be stupid
RAR5391 7 months ago
@RAR5391 1 If god created man and not their choices, and he is "all-knowing" then wouldn't he already know the choices someone makes before they are created, therefor he creates them anyways? FWI someone's sexual orientation is NOT a choice. Why would god hate anything? Why would a divine god share a petty human emotion? I have read some, find it very boring, but when I do understand what it says, it is the opposite of my personal beliefs. Thanks for at least sending me a respectful response.
luvbites23 7 months ago
@luvbites23 I am always respectful, it's not right to shove your beliefs on someone, in my response I gave an answer from both sides, if it was a choice or not, if its not, and that's what you believe, then God doesn't hate them, He loves all his children, as the Bible says, but if you don't believe the Bible then it doesn't matter
Well stands to reason anything good would anything bad, and anything bad would hate anything good, If
RAR5391 7 months ago
@RAR5391 you believe in god then there must be somethings that are unacceptable, for example most people find murder unacceptable, and it would make sense that their God would hate that, it may be forgivable under some belief systems, but usually it is something hated
RAR5391 7 months ago
@RAR5391 and I appreciate it. It does matter to me, you don't need a book to have connection to your god. Thats just something to give you guidance if you wanted/believed. But I highly doubt if you took a christian's bible away they would stop believing in Jesus or god. Just saying a book is not necessary to make heartfelt decisions about yourself and how you perceive others.
luvbites23 7 months ago
@luvbites23 I agree, I was just saying if your beliefs differ from the Bible, then it doesn't matter, to you, what it says, unless you are trying to understand someone else's beliefs, in that case, people who try to follow the Bible usually consider being gay a choice, and therefore a choice to sin, God would hate the act, not the person, the hate being focused on the evil/bad, not the person, anyone who says God hates the person who is gay has not read the Bible,
RAR5391 7 months ago
@RAR5391 as far as the all knowing part He gave us free will to choose like letting us find our own way instead of forcing us to what He wants
so that's Bible-believers believe, but that doesn't mean you need to agree, every needs think for themselves and as long as everyone is respectful and kind to each other, then we can disagree nothing irritates more than someone saying that people who believe a certain way are narrow minded when the won't even try to see it the other way even to disagree

Personally, I view the gesture of "Giving the hypothetical God the very literal finger" is an attack on the IDEA of the religion in question, not on the followers. This is something which has been very prominent through our recent history; insult an idea, ideology or political stance and the people following said idea etc. will immediately take that as a personal attack for no concrete reason. If someone told me that "Atheism is stupid", I wouldn't feel insulted, I'd chuckle.
TheLittleTpot 9 months ago
@TheLittleTpot then your not most Atheists, the Atheists I have talked to all seem offended if someone says that there is a God, and take it personal and make a point of "educating the narrow minded"
RAR5391 7 months ago
@RAR5391 Rather than insulted, it sounds more like they get exasperated. After all, for many of us atheists, explaining to an adult why there is no way that God exists is just like trying to explain to said adult why Santa Claus can't possibly exist.
TheLittleTpot 7 months ago
@TheLittleTpot well the ones I'm talking about jump at any chance to "set the record straight", and then criticize religious people of shoving there beliefs in their faces, when they are doing the same thing, you would think they would be understanding and have a more "agree to disagree" attitude, being open minded and all
RAR5391 7 months ago
@RAR5391 Being open minded is one thing, but most non-believers have a bit of a beef with the idea of believing in something without as much as a bread crumb of proof. No matter how open your mind may be, you still need a fair bit of -something- to motivate you to accept certain ideas. The thing about faith and religion is that a lot of atheists find it so utterly ridiculous that it doesn't even deserve even any respect whatsoever. Again, the similarity to Santa Claus comes to mind.
TheLittleTpot 7 months ago
@TheLittleTpot I realize this, but some religious people would find the fact the someone doesn't believe in God utterly ridiculous as well, but I don't see those people going around practically looking for Atheists to say they are wrong and they need to provide proof, obviously this isn't all Atheists just the ones I have come in contact with
I think smoking is ridiculous but I don't stop at every smoker I see and tell them they are stupid,
I don't see the point other than to start trouble
RAR5391 7 months ago
@RAR5391 Well, it's mostly because of the reason behind people finding the existance or nonexistance of God ridiculous. Proof vs. Faith. If someone told you that there is an invisible and intangible dragon in your room, would you believe them? Personally, I would find them to be just a little touched in the head.
As for people actively looking for atheists to tell them that they're wrong, trust me, they're out there, and they outnumber the atheists doing the same thing by a LOT.

On the other hand, why do (some) religious people say "the way you live is wrong, you should believe in god" to those who doesn't.
Saying you're a christian means that you support the crusades, mass murder of those who believe in a different god it even means you support the holocaust, especially if you're catholic. Why? Because jews were killed. What did they do to Jesus? How can you like the people of those who killed Jesus? Get it?

As a christian it's against your belief that there are multiple gods. There can be only one. That's why the northern euopean polytheistic religions were banned and exchanged with christianity. Because if there are multiple gods, there is no wonder why it was such a mess.
And as a non-beliver, "flipping off god" is just moronic.... it's says itself.

I say "you may believe in rocks as long as you don't throw them at me" and that religion is like communism:
a nice theory which doesn't work in practice.

Also, see the movie 'Four Lions'... some good thoughts in that one.

There is nothing wrong with having a belief however it is very wrong to FORCE that belief on other people. I don't believe there is a god, that doesn't give you the right to tell me to hell. Having such belief doesn't give you the right to discriminate and/or abuse other people regardless of their sexual preferences.

The essence of religion is harmful. Imagine you are dealing with an antisemite, you wouldn't follow him around asking him to change his ways, you would simply set up a campaign that the eradication of any race is wrong. Religion needs to be dealt with the same way. The guy who flipped off God did wrong if he just wanted to make the religious fellows mad, but if he did have a point of breaking a "taboo" I would support him.
mj20092009 9 months ago
Would you flip someone off because he/she believes that all gays should be exterminated? I think you would. The moderate religious person is not actually religious. He doesn't kill his neighbor working on a Sunday or think women are half worthy. Religion is a myth a dangerous myth and just as it should be educated that planet earth is round it should also be educated that the Abrahamian religions, the Indian beliefs and so forth were human beings's primitive attempt to understand life.

Religion is a cancerous growth on humanity and social evolution.
Everything we have today is because of the secularism of modern society. The internet, medicine, transport, youtube to name a few. To think if we did not have the dark ages which were a result of religion, we could be hundreds of years ahead, both technologically and socially.
Religion masquerades itself is a moral compass for humanity, where it in-fact only serves to separate us and keep us in darkness.
