Sounds like someone has a bee in their bonnet.

I'm an atheist. I don't believe that a higher being created us, or that Jesus was a miracle worker (illusionist maybe ), but I strongly STRONGLY believe that people should be able to have whatever beliefs they want without being criticised or ostracised by ANYONE as long as their beliefs don't interfere with others.

No one has the right to tell anyone what to believe. If they want to believe in a deity - let them. Telling them they're stupid and they shouldn't believe it is just as arrogant and ignorant as those religious people that try to force people to believe in God.

I have atheist friends, I have religious friends, and I don't prejudge them or criticise them because it's not my place to do so, and I'm not so pig-headed as to believe that they should change their opinions to match mine.

Some people are religious, some people aren't. Some religious people are freaks, some atheist people are freaks. Peoples beliefs don't necessarily define their personality.

People are different. Get over it.

Thanks Mike, finally someone puts into words EXACTLY what I've been thinking too.

Peoples, in future, can you just be a bit more tolerant about the other people we have to share our planet with? We're all built of the same stuff in the end. We all bleed, we all need our beliefs, some people just choose to believe in different things to keep them going.

Cheers.

I'm waiting for the visit from the green men to turn around and say that all this is just some small aliens science experiment and we're all infact living in an area of space set aside for his research ( just like famished and his antfarm )

Hmm... might explain why people are "abducted" I supposed ( for checking/testing/tagging )

Reminds me of the White Mice in Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy

Maybe they will get sick of the we treat their planet and blolw us up

Mike - that was mush, and you know it. It was a script from the last scene of an episode of Home & Away, where the big bully’s are shown the error of their ways.

Yes, believe what you like. But to nonsensically believe the stuff you are force-fed as a child and never challenge it? Probably not a good thing.

Mike, if you had an uncle who was 45, and still believed in Santa (no special needs, he's just a bit thick, for the sake of argument), would you let him continue to believe what he wants, in the charming manner you outlined in your Merchant Ivory film leading man speech? Or would you tap him on the shoulder and say - Uncle Elizabeth (don't ask), you know that Santa thing, well.... OMFG WTF LOL WTG ROFLMAOM WGT! Its a right load of steaming porkie pies!

There comes a time when you need to take a long, hard look at the cold, hard facts, and wake up. Also, I should point out Mr 'I have a dream', that the major religions are not as friendly towards non-believers as you seem to want to assume - now, a nice friendly quote from the fluffy-wuffy Bible:

'I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before me.'

So, where's the free choice now? God has spoken mate. No free choice. We all have to worship him. I'm sure the Koran has similar words to say. Any particular reason why Atheists should not state their case (which is all I did) when the major religions state that there is no other truth apart from what is written in their holy book?

Following on - 'Thou shalt not bow down unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me'

In other words - worship me, or I'll kick the living daylights out of you, fool!

Hardly promoting free choice there.

So, that's the fluffy pink idea that everyone has free choice out the window. Christians don't, and according to their holy book, nor does anyone else. I wonder if any other groups of people, besides those who have committed the appalling sin of not believing are discriminated against?

Why, yes! What a lucky find!

Leviticus 18:22 - 'You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestable.'

So, no homosexuals, by order of the big friendly God in the sky.

But, seeing as the Bible is a nice friendly story book, akin to 'the continuing adventures of Penny Crayon', I'm sure if you do find anyone committing this evil sin, you just tell them to stop being naughty.

...

No!

Leviticus 20:13 - 'If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltiness is upon them.'

They are to be put to death, and killed to death, until they are dead! To death!

Point being, mate, free choice is an atheist approach, it is atheists who allow people to continue burying their heads in the sand and jingling tambourines and the like; and it is Christians (Muslims, etc) who have a book in their bedside cabinet that says kill homosexuals, worship only me or suffer, etc.

Given that, I hardly think a post where I do nothing more than state a point of view is going to be considered extreme, is it? Now your quote – ‘People are different, get over it’, if that was in the Bible, it might have made being a Christian a tad more friendly. Shame you wasted it in this context, really.

Right, I'm off to covert my neighbours wife, and then I might bear false witness against him. I'll see you later...

Can Open... worms everywhere...

Why do threads ALWAYS have to get like this when any mention of god and religion comes up... can we not just accept that everyone believes in different things, and be done with it?

God may not be able to tell me to shut up, but I've learned that its best to do that when your misses tells you. She holds much more power over me.

So, I will.

I'll just clear up all these worms...

Missus > god.

Plus when you break something on insurance you can claim it was an 'act of bird'.

Indeed. Understanding that simple equation 'Misses > God' is the first step on the road to an easy life.

As for Act of Bird - now that would be quoting me happy.

*checks*

It would Quote me HAPPY if you stopped referring to me as a winged animal... otherwise I may just have to turn into one.. and i'm not talking a fluffy chick here.



EDIT: he knows i'm joking... Missus I can handle, but i'm not a bird.
