[QUOTE=Doriol;24991117]you are seriously a horrible poster[/QUOTE] So are you.
Oh Facepunch. Proving how Atheists can be just as forcing and hateful as Religious extremists. Can't we all just get along? Doesn't take a religion to have a beer with one another. :sigh:
Awesome dude!

That is only going to make matters worse. That to me seems like a desperate cry of: "HEY LOOK! ATHEISTS UNITE!" There is a difference between stating your opinion, and bashing. It seems to me that here on Facepunch if you have anything Religious to say, it suddenly makes you a target to preach your bullshit. TLDR: Shouldn't be sticking dat thred d00d

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;24995439]You don't have to be an atheist to be critical of the Pope and the Catholic Church.[/QUOTE] I do know. As a semi (almost not) Christian I don't agree with the pope OR even give a rats ass about him in the first place. I don't agree with alot of things about my religion or most religions to be honest with you, but my point is that this video doesn't need to be stickied for everyone to see because that's just provoking a fight. I don't think this world needs to be constantly fighting over what others believe, it's nonsense. People should worry about themselves first, and if anyone isn't bothering them than they shouldn't be bothering anyone. Then again, this is just an internet forum. One Man doesn't mean anything.
The fact of the matter is, serious crimes were committed under the Catholic Church. Stop thinking this is pointless religious bashing. The cover-ups are disgusting, a lot of shit that's been spewed out of the Pope's mouth is disgusting, their immunity is disgusting, and *everyone* should be critical of them. They don't deserve to be defended just because they're a major religion.
Well, I'm glad someone pointed out mistakes in Pope's claims.
Unfortunately, expressing your opinion is also bashing to somebody else out there.
Richard Dawkins for Prime minister.
[QUOTE=MasterG;25004288]IMO Dawkins is too extreme in one direction, and The Pope is too extreme in the other. [/QUOTE] the only difference is that one is peaceful and the other fucks little boys in the butt
[QUOTE=Chilean;24990146]I don't know what's dumber, his attempt at a joke or yours[/QUOTE] I wasn't joking, I was correcting an incorrect statement.
[QUOTE=Micr0;25004770]I wasn't joking, I was correcting an incorrect statement.[/QUOTE] It looked more like "hey I'm one of those so you're being a meany but LOL YEAH DEM FURRIES AND WEEABOOS FUCK THOSE GUYS" doesn't it seem a little hypocritical? plus "fixed" is overused, just call him a tard

Atheism is for a cause, there is an actual reason that people such as Richard Dawkins speak out about it, those points and causes can be seen in the video. I will never let somebody group a fetish and an obsession together with an actual moral cause.
Atheism isn't really a cause, secularism is

And it was a fucking great speech so there's that too.
[QUOTE=Chilean;25006591]Atheism isn't really a cause, secularism is[/QUOTE] Well what I was trying to say was that Atheists are incomparable to furries and weeaboos.
[QUOTE=Micr0;25006541]Furries and Weeaboos don't have any sort of goal or agenda, the groups exist solely to grab attention.[/QUOTE] hahah no
[QUOTE=Micr0;25006541]Furries and Weeaboos don't have any sort of goal or agenda, the groups exist solely to grab attention.[/QUOTE] Their goal is to meet likeminded people Are you seriously so paranoid that you believe every furry/weeaboo exists solely to annoy you?
