@DeathNationGaming And this isn't even taking into account other more conservative countries, in which I grew up. And as for science, how exactly will it "fix my personal problems"? I never mentioned science yet you brought it up; I never understood the religious' hypocrisy towards science. From medicine to nutrition to transportation and beyond, you trust science in every field of your life and then suddenly it's despicable because it contradicts 2000 year old dogma?
@DeathNationGaming You may be religious and not believe in God (there are atheistic religions such as Buddhism) but not vice versa. Look up the meaning of the word religion. As for being forced down our throats, how do you think religion propagates itself? Sure, it might not be in your family, but children get systematically indoctrinated in their parents' religion at a very young age. Children growing up who decide they no longer want to be part of their religion are sometimes disowned, etc.
@TheYipedo It sounds like you have a personal problem. I would like to get to know you better, but this is the internet, and that's risky. Perhaps if you could see past your hurt feelings we could be reasonable about them. Perhaps I could suggest some authors. This is YOUR wake up sheep moment. The character of God far surpasses man's mistakes. Please, if you can, try not to blame God for people's mistakes.
@TheYipedo Anyone who hates, period, is wrong--including you. Does not mean I don't love you or homosexuals, or anyone else for that matter. I never said I hated homosexuals.
Where do get off accusing me of wrong after I even said I was against the hatred of anyone?
BTY, I no more hate someone for doing wrong than a good parent hates a child for messing up. Do we make fun of the child? NO!
Stop accusing me of hate. God hates no-one, so even if I did, I would have no right to.
*continuation* If people stopped making a big deal out of it, then we'd be totally fine. Put yourself in our position. You're in a world where people call you an abomination for something you never chose and try to guilt you that you're disgusting and you're going to burn for eternity because an all-loving (note the irony) God will send you there. If I started preaching to you about the Mayan religion because I wanted to "save you," do you think you'll appreciate it?
@fastonfeat It offends me because it is constantly being pushed in everyone's throats, especially gullible children's. It offends me because people in many countries are so close-minded as to refuse to vote any non-believer into office, no matter what he or she is saying. It offends me because it's an intellectually dishonest world view that spreads hatred and bigotry. Just look at how much you despise homosexuals. Is there any "love" in there? ...*continued*
@DeathNationGaming Ignorance is bliss, so is stupidity.

@RTRVII Correct! Luminiferous aether does not exist.
But was Tesla was referring to something else? Zero Point Energy, perhaps? Naturally occurring electric fields?
