He has the right to an opinion and idea whether or not other people like it.
[QUOTE=critein_protein;29871064]How ignorant of you to assume that. Are you from the future? Do you have a time machine?
For all we know, after religion is abolished once and for all, it would trigger a chain reaction that would quell most violence. Let's face it. Religion has been the source of most violence thougout human history. Gassing of the Jews in WW2, Jihadist's, Inquisitions and Crusades.
Sure, there will always be SOME degree of violence that will be present after the death of religion, mostly brought on by poverty and insanity, but that will change as the human race becomes more evolved and advanced with time.
And that's my God damned 2 fuckin' cents. :smugissar:[/QUOTE]
...Yeah, how dare me think that human nature is the flaw and not religion! How obvious! How absurd of me to miss it.
Violence will continue on because people are fucked up. People are fucked up because they're people and that's a side effect of being a person. Imagining that religion is the sole reason for global hate? You're 12 aren't you? You're new to this whole internet thing, did you just join "internet atheists" or something?

[QUOTE=Gaza Pen Pal;29870857]You can't disprove or prove the existence of god or an afterlife, not with the information we have, so scientifically agnosticism is correct not atheism.[/QUOTE]
What?
Agnosticism is a statement of knowledge and atheism is a statement of belief. They are mutually exclusive. You also seem to be confusing atheism for antitheism or gnostic atheism.

Ahahah are you serious? People will always find a reason to fight, religion is just another excuse. For instance could you really call the troubles a religous battle anymore? If anything although the majority of nationalists are catholic and unionists protestant they rarely mention it.

From a reasonable perspective. Assuming something without ANY EVIDENCE whatsoever is just stupid.

Nah, you're right. I don't know if he says it's a fact, but he is quite convinced that it's true. I think of all people, he knows when something is the solid truth or not.

The "reasonable" perspective changes over time. 500 years ago the "reasonable" perspective was to assume it was gods doing.

Yes I did and you're wrong in thinking that religion causes the majority of violence. Come back to me when you have a credible argument.

[quote=Anthony]How the @#$% can you compare a human being to a computer? Computers dont have souls. Humans do. You cant say there is no afterlife WITHOUT experiencing it.

Do you even know what rationality is
[QUOTE=Melnek;29871306]so why not eliminate that excuse[/QUOTE]
Because that would violate human rights, be almost impossible and wouldn't change shit.
[QUOTE=Sanius;29871357]Do you even know what rationality is[/QUOTE]
I do yes, people aren't rational most of the time and it's irrational to say;
"Don't believe in that, there's no evidence of it" and expect people to suddenly change their minds.

lol why do you assume that I meant completely abolish religion and ban the freedom of believing in whatever the shit you want to believe in
all I meant was to not allow religious extremists to forcefully spread their hateful message via shit like brainwashing their children into their dumb beliefs that later on completely fuck the child up. I'm all up for people having the freedom of believing whatever the fuck helps them get through life but a line must be drawn somewhere.
well you're crippled and at least i can convert.

Uh okay
People who believe in things that have no evidence or mountains of contradicting evidence are the irrational ones
Would I be irrational for telling a little girl that unicorns don't exist?

That's called being a killjoy. Some people take comfort in religion, I don't see why Extreme Atheists see it as their mission to try and disillusion every person who believes in a supernatural Entity.
Granted some Religious people do the same, but all religions denounce their actions and, unfortunately, the Atheist Extremist is an extremely common personage on Facepunch.
