Meet John Doe Smith - Religion is Not All Evil

[farvision]

No. Theism is based on imaginary things and will eventually lead the believers or 'faithful' to do horrible things. Tolerance for this system is not acceptable. Treat the people with respect but I will not treat bad ideas with respect, they do not deserve it.

What a ridiculous statement you made above. "... and eventually lead the believers to do horrible things." What kind of generalization is that? What about religious people who work in soup kitchens and charities and third world countries helping the poor and needy? ALL these people are destined to do "horrible" things eventually? Look I've got as many problems with religious dogma as the next person, but I'd never make a statement that EVERYONE who follows faith is headed for evil.

I meant that the religions as a group lead some number of their members. Clearly not specific individuals. Your response used a common distraction, "what about the good ones" which is not an excuse for the onew who fly airplanes into buildings because they think that 72 virgins are awaiting!

You're intolerance is no better than that of those who follow religious dogma. Please see the rest of my interview as well.

[farvision]

I'm intolerant of stupidity.  Religion is organized stupidity with strong delusions.

" Dogma " ? I don't think that you understand religion much ... have a nice day anyways

Religion is not the problem. It is the MEN that twist the word of God into something that they can use for their own purposes. Polictial gain and greed are poor subtitutes for the message of brotherhood and love.

[ghostofdayinperson]

the "word of god" as written in the bible or the koran is nothing but dogma, which alone is twisted. Many people, religious and otherwise, may be twisted on their own occord, but they don't have to do much to twist the words of the old testament-- it does that on ITS own.
