Article about Stern´s daughter...i guess religion is bad except when its the jewish one...lol...
Beware this fucking jews, this is serious, beware this fucking jews...
it's very Buddhist, but its been so long I don't remember writing it
there's a lot of ways to look at the 'God question', and when people say silly things like 'God punishes with hell' it stops people from thinking about it sometimes
I was born Catholic, so I had a lot to overcome, to say the least
@PorkFrog I have people peplying to me about thinks I have since forgotten. So true but it is a great way of seeing what God really is weather you know you said it or not. Ha. Take credit for it as I don't know any better.
@bobbyles We all have the freedom to chose to worship or not in our own way. Freedom of religion, you aren't forced to worship a religion by the government and treated like a second class citizen if you don't like in Islamic countries. Be glad the state doesn't force you either way and appreciate the freedom you have.
There is enough closed-mindedness among both sides. Live and let live. Swing your arms so far as they don't hit me. I'm stoned, sorry.

@bobbyles Yup, and the excuse about "exposing" children to religion is BS because it's always the religion of the parents. My ex laid that one on me when our daughter was born and it never made sense. I'm in favor of mandatory comparative religion courses as they've been shown to dramatically decrease religiosity and promote skepticism. Many hyper religious families are against teaching comparative religion even at the university level b/c the kids wind up agnostic/atheist
@ritter89 So true my friend. You have put it well. God may well be but I was never able to see he, she or it in any religion. If God does exist, it make sense to me that It would not care if anyone believed in Him but only that we be a reasonable and loving to each other, not wanting harm for others. Again, that is just my point of view and that is limited to my personal experience. Know what I mean? I don't know for sure but then neither does any of the zealots know. I hope I make sense.
@hangfire0352 Hey, what do I know anyway? I do seem to have not worded my post correctly. I should have said young children, but I had been taught a religion and I was including myself as an adult. I think I mean, "I wish I had not been taught a religion as a youth. I think it did me harm but to study "the religion" is different, I believe. I was taught to "practice" the faith, not just study it. I was bullied into a belief before I could see what it really meant. That was my experience.
Well Howard is always funny and self-protective, so this stance kind of makes sense. I'm not sure he says what he feels on everything else, so much as he finds a comedic pose to strike regarding everything else - so this is his honest but funny pose on this. At least back then.
"god" doesnt apperciate fence sitters, so HowardS offending him either way. Just come out and say What U mean. Howard says what he feels on everyThing else.
& how do U believe in a heaven and not in hell??? How does that make any sense???
Saying you believe in heaven does not mean you believe in hell because it doesn't say anything more than that person believes in heaven. Saying you are a Christian on the other hand comes with a whole lot of believes tied to the religion, like hell. For example I can say that I believe in the ten commandments, but I can still be a atheism.
Well I couldnT disAgree more actually. As an Atheist mySelf I think it is completely asinine to think thereS some cloudy playGround U get to hang out in after U croak. & if there is a heaven and no hell then whatS the point of being good? ThereS no reason not to B a dickHead Ur whole life. UnLess U have a conscience or whatEver.
& I guess we'll agree to disAgree on the 10 commandments thing. I donT really C a problem in coveting my neighbors wife. I just stick with the Golden Rule.
Here I thought U wanted to actually discuss someThing, but Ud rather attack my lack of physical beauty. OK I can take it. I got thick skin (most trolls do). ItS just sad 2 encounter a human being cursed with an inAbility to think
Darlin' . . . 'troll' means someone who goes onto websites and makes intentionally inflammatory statements just to anger people and get reactions. It has NOTHING to do with physical appearance.
PS - Anyone who believes a magical, invisible, man floating in outer space created the entire universe on a whim with the snap of his fingers is an utter and complete moron.
religion and the religious will always be around. humans have evolved a bent towards faith of some sort, and religious conservatives have the most kids while secular liberals have the least.
that's obvious since things always evolve. modern trends point to a growth in neo-paganism and spirituality, so maybe we'll see more inclusion in the future.
the left wants to capitulate, but now isn't the time for us to surrender to towelheads
Yes, religions will always be around as long as we remain a poorly-evolved mammelian species with too much adrenaline and beng afraid of the dark and afraid to die and believing the truth of holy books that are so stupid, and so fabricated that a child can see through it because it makes us feel better.
And as for the kids, we could use a lot less undeductaed igornant units.
are you suggesting that every religious or spiritual person is ignorant?
nietzsche predicted that organized religion would vanish in europe, but eurobarometer has shown 79% of people living in EU countries believe in a deity or higher power and 21% are agnostics or atheists. we have to learn to get along with everyone.
you may obsess over what others believe, but i could care less and anyone with a life wouldn't care either.
Wow! Thats a new one...trying to use Europe as en example growth of religion is like trying to use as Bin Laden an example that of peaceful muslims. Europe is the most secucalr continent in the world: Sweden: 86% atheists, France:58%, England: 44%, and France and Turkey have banned religious symbols. Europe is leading the battle to shake off the shackles of ancient stupidity. My assertion that your uneducated(happy you childish prick) still stands.
why don't you learn ENGLISH before you try to debate, moron? lol
i stated my reliable source (eurobarometer), while you've created numbers from your little head.
the world is becoming more religious because developing countries have higher birthrates and religious conservatives in developed nations have more children than secular liberals. your hostility towards different groups of people will backfire on intolerant atheists like you and innocent tolerant atheists in the end.
And as for tribalism being innate, yes that is true, however whenever race does not act as a segegrational agent religion does the job very well. In addition, people are very attuned to de-humanization if they think they have God on their side or received divine permission from a holy book. It was concted during the infancy of civilization, we are no longer tribal in the west, just as we no longer depend on the life-sucking drivle of bronze age superstition which have stultified minds like urs
you've been unable to refute the fact that religion disappearing won't change the fact that tribalism is innate, and you've yet to cite a credible source for your fabricated stats. you're obviously uneducated and don't deserve attention from a higher individual like myself. you're now on ignore, fuckface trash. LOL
"from a higher individual like myself. you're now on ignore, fuckface trash. LOL "
Clearly your a self-important egostistical ignorant simple-minded prick and are at a loss of words, but ill say one last thing. My stats are backed by any popluation projection. And selfishly using reproducton to expand a religion does not justify the religion. What if Nazism had suruvued due to mass reproduction, you low-life hypocrite
@Rahab111222 no, religion is in decline because of people like you who treat religious people like second class citizens. Read all the comments on this video. It is a huge attack on us Christians, who have managed to stay true to our faith after being slandered, attacked, and ridiculed by YOU who have yet to study the opposing opinions. I've been force-fed the stuff since kindergarten, I choose to put my money where the facts are.
@corong1997 Yet to study opposing opinions? Who are you kidding? You can't turn on the TV without seeing religious programming, there is a church on every corner, and there are idiotic sheep (like you) everywhere! Study WHAT? The only thing you have is a 2000 year old book about talking snakes, bushes and donkeys which was written by anonymous authors. Why read a science book and understand things when it is so much easier to say "god did it!"
@corong1997 What facts are those? I guess 90% of the scientists in the world are dumbasses. Evolution is a sham and Earth is only thousands of years old. I should believe a book, written by man, 1,500 years ago.
There is no such thing as a 'yes or no' answer, I truly hate it when people demand those.
