This will be my last comment on the thread, because there is little point, it appears, in putting forward a normal person's point of view to an audience of bigots.
The vast majority of the world's population has a religious belief of some sort.
A tiny minority go out of their way to cause harm in the name of their own religion.
A far higher percentage of people are persecuted for their beliefs by people with contrary beliefs.
Junkenstein - I am not a retard, and your opening comments undermine your intellect. If you think you have the whole world figured out, good for you. Religions set out value systems, normally based on stories so they are easier to relate to. Some stories are based on historical truth and some are completely fictitious. Of course more educated people don't take it all literally. If you think that we do, you are a dumbass.
Yoav - you are clearly a moron. A fatwa on orangutan? That's your argument? You neither know what a fatwa is, how to spell orangutan, or how to make orangutan plural. Hint It's orangutan. You think you have catholicism all worked out and that all Catholics are to be pitied for not being able to face the world without believing in fairy tales. You don't know how stupid and immature that sounds. At least Junkenstein attempts to sound superior in some of his argument. You simply sound like a petulant schoolboy who once read a few pages of a theology book.
I remember how trendy it was to be cocksure, radical and extremist and how cool to evangelize atheism because it thumbs its nose at society. Then I grew up and I began to make choices based on my value preferences rather than simply trying to sound radical. Experience and making lifestyle choices doesn't stop me from being a KATG listener from Episode 5 ... so maybe you shouldn't make sweeping judgments about people simply based on their religion!
Thank you for the discussion.
