Christians on arbtalk?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

All Atheists get on with life while the religious continue to wreak havoc by imposing their beliefs on others and causing divisions in society leading to wars and disruption to every day life.I wisely treat religious people with suspicion and the more religious the more suspiciouis i get. Lets examine the on going revelations of priests that have abused children using religion as a cover for their evil intentions.No god ,if he ever existed would condone such acts.

 

its a shame this thread is going down this route, was doing very well till the latest few posts.

 

now it is as might have been expected, it was nice while it lasted, always nice to be surprised by tolerance, I shall keep that thought/feeling and leave now.

Thats the reality though,no point making excuses for those that hide behind religion or should we pretend that it dosent happen,which is the bigger crime ?

I hear what your saying Tony, but if there is an all powerful god, who needs us to turn to him for our salvation, would he not at least take the time to keep the organisations that represent him clean??

 

Instead they have be havens for "monsters".

 

Little wonder so many believe him to be fiction.

Quite true,its not often women,mostly men in whatever diguise they choose.Fact is... what religion allows evil to exist and be executed for decades bringing misery to all connected in the name of good.Sorry but you cannot disagree with that fact.Accept that it is flawed.

why would he keep them clean? they are not worshipping in the way it was intended, they build churches and worship "artifacts" fill thier alters with gold crosses.

 

though shall not worship false gods, and I believe it was never meant to be in churches either. so if you ask me, true faith has nothing to do with prayer and such, but in ones way of life, in how we love one another, as children of this earth.

Well of cause, because he does not exist

Imagine when religion was born, say christianity, dark times, when man was much more ferrel and barbaric say.

 

what a wonderful way of saying stop killing eachother and love thy nieghbour, and if you dont youll burn in hell so you best start believing!

 

bit of social crowd control from a few shrewd dudes if you ask me.

 

I prefer the paganistic seasonal green man herne the hunter type system, representing the nature of the earths force and what it is to be making a living from the land.
