This damn Jesus corrupting our youth with his murder simulator book.
[QUOTE=JDK721v5;25358207]You obviously only read the OP's title and replied based on that.[/QUOTE] No, I knew the article is vague. I just added feedback to the discussion. Being religious is comparable to a bad habit, like smoking. It's some kind of mental affliction. Like sir Dawkins said: What worries me about religion is that it teaches people to be satisfied with not understanding. It's a world of small harmful pleasures. What are you anyway? A sinful muslim?
Most misleading thread title ever. It never says the other kid was an atheist.
[QUOTE=ChilColdCoolaid;25360502]This damn Jesus corrupting our youth with his murder simulator book.[/QUOTE] I'd say that's as real as it gets. No Load button and no New Game+.
Just become Buddhist - gg

[QUOTE=revrend_slapaho;25359362]religion is just insisted upon us. religion to me in a sense is a way of controlling individuals to a way of thinking decided upon us by others and their set of own rules (the Bible, the 10 Commandments for example) and by hiding/masking all their motives behind a powerful figure (i.e God). its true that you don't need religion to point out what's either good or bad. morals, learned at an early age is taught by our "parental figures" and when the need of parents are no longer needed, then society by the use of the "super ego" then acts as a sort of watchdog presiding over us; which coensiding with our conscience are what makes us individuals develop a set of morals and values we have to abide by to be able to live within a society. religion but plays a small role (or none in many cases) in developing values within an individual[/QUOTE] Freud's ego theory is flawed in that he doesn't mention where this ego comes from in the first place, arguably we could regress infinately as our ego is instilled by our parent and theirs by their parents and so on.

[QUOTE=JDK721v5;25358338]Okay, so say they were fighting about politics. One of them shoots the other. Politics is to blame now for the murder? You guys will just jump on anything that scapegoats religion. Religion DOES NOT make a person murder someone else. [editline]10:17AM[/editline] Baseless claim. Nothing else needs to be said.

i also wanted to add: "the gun accidentally went off"? i question this.
[QUOTE=Magick;25358381]Why would you argue religion with a kid weilding a gun? A loaded shotgun at that...[/QUOTE] A Christian at that! I don't see why you guys seem to love arguing against Christians all the time, if they're as stubborn as you say they are, then you can't win.
The atheists of Facepunch are just about as closed-minded as the supposed religious extremists they bash.
[QUOTE=Xenomoose;25363377]The atheists of Facepunch are just about as closed-minded as the supposed religious extremists they bash.[/QUOTE] This, if an atheist teen had shot another kid for being religeous Facepunch would have had a field day.

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;25363377]The atheists of Facepunch are just about as closed-minded as the supposed religious extremists they bash.[/QUOTE] I don't think I am. I just want religion to ba sane again. Wouldn't hurt if Atheism and Agnosticism was too, but they tend to lead generally sane lives. I just wish we could take the philosophic values from Religions and leave it at that, then we would not have any wars, retards and murders. I can get disagreeing on a sane level, but the WBC and half the south just go too far.

If you want to have us write a fucking bible to name those it concerns and excuse ourselves to those it doesn't who manage to get offended anyway. I don't know why you people keep posting these posts. It is always heavily implied too. Why would you do that? waste of post mate.

I'm not asking him to say specific people, but making such a ridiculously sweeping statement is just as stupid as said extremists.

What's with all the murdering lately?

[QUOTE=TH89;25364385]What's with all the murdering lately?[/QUOTE] It's your fault, TH89 :smith:
Try him as an adult, i'm sick of people getting free passes just because they're minors.

[QUOTE=Chilean;25364659]Yes but they'd claim he was "no true atheist"[/QUOTE] no, I'm pretty sure they would just say he was insane. Atheism is a lack of belief, therefore he could do anything apart from believe and still be considered atheist
All religion is bullshit.
Thou shalt not kill?
[QUOTE=RayDark;25360458]the bible is not a fucking historical book.[/QUOTE] The bible is historical fiction
[QUOTE=thisispain;25354835]that wasn't what i was responding to, there certainly are "kill non-believer" verses in the bible if people can post this shit about the Qu'ran i should be able to post it about the Bible[/QUOTE] Sell your daughter to slavery, stone kids errey day.
This really makes people who follow a religion look bad. In reality, a majority respect other people's beliefs. We may try to play missionary and spread our religion (guilty as charged) but come on! This is way over the damned top.
[QUOTE=strayebyrd;25364776]no, I'm pretty sure they would just say he was insane. Atheism is a lack of belief, therefore he could do anything apart from believe and still be considered atheist[/QUOTE] my point being that some people can't accept "he was insane" as an explanation for the behavior of a religious person.
