How about you make a counter argument?
All wars are fought over Gold, Oil, & Drugs.

And you went ahead and missed what I meant by that last line.

Once you become atheist or recognize that religion is wrong. As in those are your views. Its laughable at people who think they will still be "alive" once they are dead.
It's like santa clause (spelling?) once you know the truth its funny and cute to see the kids still believing.
The quicker this horrible idea of life after death and a fantasy man are abolished from the planet the quicker our species can move on and be better.
Not trying to troll but it's just a fact. I'm so proud im living in a time where we can openly communicate and can eradicate dated hopes and bullshit. It's time for humanity to grow up and realize your just an animal with intellect. This doesnt make you special it makes you approach life differently.
I really wish whoever thought up "god" would of thought of the effects it would have. Yes it's depressing to realize that nothing happens when you die, but it's a fact. Why waste your time believing youll still be "alive" and miss out on things because of it.
It's the red pill or th blue pill. Fantasy land made by humans, or reality made by the universe.
I choose reality.
And hopefully more will follow.
P.s. WHY IS CRYSIS ON DX9?! Bastards :(
[QUOTE=rabid duck;28749117]Why be happy that something that shaped how we live today is becoming extinct?
I don't mean God making people of shit like that I mean hisotry, for example the Crusades, Aztecs, Indians.
Without religion the world would never be how it is now.[/QUOTE]
Thats silly, history has already been recorded and our current morals are set and fine. the thing that keeps us from committing crime is being sent too a prison, not the idea of burning forever. Religion has caused nothing but trouble, genocide, and inhibiting science and learning.
[QUOTE=deadoctober;28749197]imagine if humans never had morals
now imagine that world[/QUOTE]
You mean imagine a world where people made decisions for themselves and not for fear of divine punishment? People being morally good simply because of logic and reason?

And before someone starts blasting that first sentence, atheists have morals just as much as religious folk
A world without religion. Does it feel kind of empty?

Religion has never caused a war.

Because there aren't such things as community in places without churches :downs:
[QUOTE=Greenen72;28749158]That's like saying the world would be a different place without [b]Franz Ferdinand[/b] or Hitler. You can't say if it would be better or worse.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Silly Sil;28749010]Well that would give one less excuse to be biased, ignorant or hateful.[/QUOTE]
Ignorant and hateful will always be ignorant and hateful, religious or not.
Same as there are rational and kind religious people.

that isn't the point

i've never made a post completely ignoring these things like you have
I don't really care. I'm personally only religious because it makes me feel slightly better about myself and stops me from getting into trouble... I'm not exactly a devout Christian. I know I'll get dumbs for this, but I think religion is just a choice. It's just like any other choice. People will take it too far, and murder people over it.
[QUOTE=TraderRager;28749154]Religion isn't necessarily a bad thing or a good thing.
For all the war and hate it's caused, it's also caused charity, love, and understanding.
v:v:v[/QUOTE]
Charity, love and understanding?
Well, as for "Charity" I would have to agree and disagree.
All forms of fundraising are not examples of a relation.
Charity. No.
Charity is not a religious activity.
Is it part of some religions to give some form of charity? Probably.
"Love"
This is just silly. Christianization shook different societies for hundreds of years and spread ridiculous ideals which usually reasoned in some type of conflict. If you know anything about history, this is bullshit.
"Understanding"
See above. The spreading of religious ideals did not lead to the age of enlightenment in the way you make it sound. It's called the "Age of [b]REASON[/b]" for a reason.

But it was an excuse, not the cause.
The will always be an excuse. Just as Russia presented in Ossetia and USA in Iraq.
I don't see why you guys are so happy about this your all fapping to this news report, and just because a couple of countries have no religion ofc people there will still be religious not to mention the rest of the world.
I think science is awesome but its the typical facepunch athiest that are complete dickheads to religious people.
