[QUOTE=download;35669097]We're hardly as bad as the people we mock. We don't go around using an outdated book to justify discrimination against various minorities. We do this to fight discrimination, stupidity and ignorance, much better values than them
Care to tell me how this is so?[/QUOTE]
I swear you just told us not to argue in here idiot.
[QUOTE=download;35669189]Nope.
As I just said, we mock them because they use their religious beliefs to impact on my life, with their bullshit. I don't care if your religious, I only care when you use it to discriminate/harass/impact on my liberties.
I hear myself, and there is a big fucking difference between to two. It's logical not to take peoples' attacks lying down, you defend yourself, not cower in the corner

Hello there Amazing Atheist.
You people aren't helping
I have a friend whom until about a week or so ago was a fairly intelligent person.
And then I found out they were a fundie. So much for that then I guess. I honestly don't understand how someone can have a science-based major and be a fundie. It's disappointing, really.
Somewhat on topic: My uncle was a really fundie Catholic for the longest while and then he came over to visit a couple weeks ago and he said he was an Atheist after reading Charles Darwin and other evolution/atheist authors. He'd rather believe in the science that's around rather than a book written thousands of years ago.
I'm so proud.
I live in the middle of the goddamned 'Bible Belt" (is calling it goddamned an oxymoron?) and I quite literally see this kind of stuff EVERY day. Maybe I'll begin carrying a notebook around to document the funnies for your reading pleasure/cringing.
its hilarious how so many self declared catholics deny evolution when the catholic church accepts evolution

I don't see how he should be considered an idiot if he doesn't let his beliefs impact his job or major.

There used to be this guy preaching with a microphone and speakers from the Bible, on how we should all repent etc.
Well, that was until this happened: [url]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/feb/09/christian-preacher-gay-men-burn-hell[/url]

Somebody put this poor Escort out of its misery.
wow, for a minute there I thought I strayed onto reddit.
"fundie" bashing is not funny, and it only makes you look like an insecure douchebag. Please return to r/atheism, they love stroking each other's egos laughing at how "dumb" "fundies" are.

Well, your beliefs will always impact your job in some way. However, that's what the scientific method is for. Scientists who let their bias get in the way don't get very far in their field since experiments have to be replicable and peer reviewed.
Also, in a certain sense I would think it disappointing that a scientist is a fundamentalist as well. This doesn't necessarily mean they just believe in a god, but believe in the bible, qu'ran, etc. as literal facts. If you believe the bible is literal, that stands in opposition to science and intellectualism. The two are completely incompatible because the things science claims runs completely contrary to the things the bible claims.
I find it hard to laugh at Fundamentalists. I mean, of [I]course[/I] they're going to be stupid and narrow minded. [I]that's why they're fundamentalist in the first place.[/I]

Something that's sort of sad is that many fundies actually seem fairly intelligent. Their arguments against evolution would be logically sound if there were no evidence supporting the theory.
How can an otherwise intelligent mind go on to ignore evidence and desire to stoop itself in such ignorance? It's unfathomable to me.

Seems all the funny ratings disagree with you
Oh, and they are pretty dumb
I actually attended a Catholic school for 8 years. The funny thing is, I didn't meet any hardcore fundamentalists like the ones in this thread until I transferred to public school in 9th grade. The school I went to was actually pretty decent, we learned evolution and everything. What most of these 'crusaders' on facebook don't seem to know is that the Catholic Church no longer denies the theory evolution, and the reason they refuse to believe anything but their own opinion is because they genuinely have no idea what they are talking about.
Same case here. Went to church all regular like til I was about 16, attended two catholic schools. First time I met a real fundamentalist was when one waylaid me as i came out the train station and informed me with excess volume and saliva that I was, in fact, going to hell unless i begged forgiveness.
So I said "sorry".
I had loads of these people in my psychology class last semester. You know, the kind of people that say "America is straying away from the bible" even though we were based on leaving religion out of politics in the first place.
I think there are more people here that are open to reason here than most places in the Bible Belt though. They only talk about their religion to people who are the same religion. We even have a "Christian Club." But I haven't seen anything wrong with what they're doing so far so I don't care.
All of the teachers stay away from talking about religion unless it's a Social Studies teacher, and they just talk about where and when they were used. "I'm your teacher not your preacher."
But there are just some people here that I just....UGH!
