I find it incredibly enraging when Religious people say any possible faith or idea is 'stupid.'
I feel the same way with atheists. Look at all of this thread.
So, it's okay for someone with a religion to call something stupid, but not an atheist, in your eyes?
No. But it bothers me that the athests spend most of the time callingmy religion stupid and then calling me out for saying something is stupid.
I think you're problem is that you think we're insulting your religion because we have different concepts and wish to express them.
We question our own beliefs, theists do not question their own beliefs. So I find it enraging when you question others, or call them 'stupid.'

And you know for a fact I don't question my beliefs?

So because I happen to have the peace of faith in my religion it is wrong for me to question others? What if I said that I wasn't very faithful in my religion? Does that make it ok to question others then?
And why exactly are atheists the only ones that can question belief?
I think you're problem is that you think we're insulting your religion because we have different concepts and wish to express them.
And when I express my beliefs I have people come out and say to my face they are wrong and Christians are stupid. So again, why am I not allowed to do the same?

Question was the wrong word. Call 'stupid' (which I don't think anybody should be doing, but if anybody does), yes. If you have faith in your religion, and that is your fortification, then how can you call any other faith backed religion 'stupid?'

Please, show me where Skreeran called you 'stupid.'

Seems no crazier than any other religion.
I hate all religion, and the very concept of blind faith in an invisible man who judges you all the time despite there being no evidence at all for such a thing.
Blind faith is human ignorance in its purest form, in my eyes.
Sadly, you lack the capacity to understand how reasoning works. ^ wasn't Skree, but still.
I hate the very idea of blind faith.
Every time I read one of Skeeran's posts I gain more and more respect for him. The only way I could see someone continuing to argue with him is if they just flat out don't see how wrong they are.^ again, wasn't Skree.
brainwashed into believing things that don't exist that they then use to justify whatever they see fit to do.
But all of that is just a part of why I hate religion
I'm pretty much given up on convincing you of your incorrectness
No, I get what Skeeran is getting at. When you lay out the facts and a logical argument and the counter argument is "Nuh uh!", the only thing you can really do is beat them over the head with it until they get it.
^ wasn't
An Atheist president wouldn't see the end of the world as a good thing, as Christians do.
^wasn't
Well if that's what you mean by it, then I feel strongly that religion is a negative force on humanity, and that people shouldn't believe it.
I just hate religion as a whole, not necessarily every person who follows it (although I certainly hate many, many of them on a case-by-case basis).
A few of them were hate quotes, but as he says that religion is stupid I decided to use them as well.

Calling religion stupid =/= Calling you stupid.
However, at this point you've proven he doesn't even need to insult you; you've made your level of intelligence very clear simply through your continued posting of nonsense.

saying that...Christians are stupid
I never said he called me stupid, I said he called religion stupid. Both of you need to learn to read.
However, at this point you've proven he doesn't even need to insult you; you've made your level of intelligence very clear simply through your continued posting of nonsense.
Oh? What kind of nonsense? The "I still believe in my religion and I won't be swayed by your amazing arguments" kind?

I seriously wanted this to be an intelligent discussion... but I guess that that won't happen with you guys around.

Alright sorry for the triple post...
Throughout all of this thread I have argued against all of you, and I have agreed with all of you on several points. I'm just ocming to say that I probably won't be commenting in here anymore, but that I still respect all of you, even if I don't like you.
So, you guys are still cool, and I hope you think the same of me.
/awkward.

Couldn't have put it better myself sir, and thanks for contributing so much to this thread, it was fun if a bit vicious (mostly on my part :P).
No problem (=
And I was calling Amnistic a troll, not you Dr.Lore.
Just in case you thought I was insulting you =D

Ignore him, he's obviously a troll. Even I agree to that.

Yeah, probably. Anyways, is this discussion is done? Doesn't seem like there's been much debate left, just arguments about whether someone was or wasn't insulted.
