Okay im tired of people reading that first post then instantly judging and hating me.

I'll try to be clear here:

-"hate" was probably the wrong word. I have no respect for devout Christians.

-In case you don't know, definition of devout: 'Having or showing deep religious feeling or commitment'. The people who have read the bible cover to cover, memorize lines, etc.

-And for the other "Christians", the ones who base their beliefs on a few lines from the bible and disregard all the other bullshit: I don't even consider you Christians. Form your own worldviews and make up your own morals. Doing whats right isn't exclusively Christian.

-Call me a bigot all you want, give me a reasonable explanation as to why God wants to kill billions of people. I'm always open to ideas.

-I usually try to stay quiet about religion, its just really hard sometimes, especially with my personality. I know I'm not about to change anyone's beliefs over a forum, and that wasn't what i was trying to do. I just wanted to hear non-American views about the major religions of their country.

-I'm sarcastic ALOT. Don't take everything I say so seriously. No sarcasm above, but I can't say what will happen in future posts.

I think there was something else i was going to say but i forget

Ah, bigotry at its finest. Thanks for showing your true colors mate.

Richard, are you any better?

Am I any better in what way? Do I actively dislike or speak out against an entire group of people? No, I most certainly do not. I dislike and speak out against individuals, yes... but I do so with knowledge of those people and not based on poorly constructed perceptions.

You gonna explain *why* anytime soon?
Or are you just going to keep posting these one liners flaming me?

If you can't understand why disrespecting an entire group of people, 90% of which you have not met, is bigotry at its core then no, I am not going to explain why. It should be self evident.

I do not dislike, but yes i speak out agianist HYPOCRITICAL RELIGIOUS ZEALOUTS

KGB, that is acceptable assuming you have witnessed their hypocrisy in some form. That is not speaking out against an entire group, merely select individuals who you find distasteful for legitimate reasons. There is a key difference in those two things.

I understand exactly what you're saying, you're just misusing words and being very naive.

Bigot: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.

intolerant: unwilling to grant equal freedom of expression especially in religious matters.

Richard, why do you feel the need to get so upset about people's opinions? Im sure Lykus does not hate all Christians. He seems like an intelligent person who simply has a different opinion then you.

Personally I find devout *insert religious connotation here* highly annoying, often intrusive, and often devout only to the parts of their religious connotation that best suits them..
However, I have no strong opinions on anyone based on their religious belief, be it it mine, or contrary, -*save for when those people attempt to force their belief's on me*-.

Personally, I don't understand the need or desire to bring a touchy subject like religion, politics, etc. to a site which is based on trying to enjoy yourself /*gaming site*/ there are places for theological and political debates.. if someone feels strongly enough to spread their side, they -should- go there.. most of us seek only to defend our belief's, if that..

I am Agnostic... and because I have seen no proof or logical reasoning as of yet -*in my eyes of course*- that makes me believe any religion is more right then another, or that any religion shows the signs of being written by the ghost writer of an omniscient, I am currently Atheist, waiting to be proven wrong.

KGB, I have met very intelligent people that *hate* all of a given race/religion before... Intellect has limited value when an emotion eclipses it..

I agree with you Perrin, that this subject should not have been brought up. But people should also be mature about this subject also. And yeah you're right on the last thing too.

KGB, if you want to discuss the matter further then you know how/where to reach me. I refuse to feed this troll anymore or continue to deal with bigotry.

Lose an argument -> leave the thread.

I like your style

Oh, you managed to find the "edit post" button? Where is it, tell me, tell me, tell me...! :p

I have no respect for people with ugly personalities!
I don't consider people non-religious who put themselves in a religious situation..
Call me a christian all you want, give me a good reason why I shouldn't believe in god.
If you really wanted to know other countries feels you would of come at this unbiased and neutral.. So I don't believe that for a second or you got no common sense.

There, this seems fair I answered you like how you came at me.. No issue now

Lykus=gian hypocrite. You say one thing and then just go ahead and contradict you self on the next bullet. Then you think what your doing shouldn't get people mad. You're also insulting everyones inteligence who posted on the last thread.

Apple, it's impossible to prove something doesn't exist... it's easy to prove something does exist..

personally, I believe that which is easiest to disprove...
Example
I say there are wal-mart ninja's.. they hide in the rafters and sulk about the inventory rooms... There is no way for you to prove that they aren't there, but I can easily prove that they are there by capturing one of them, preferably while the naysayers are observing...


You cannot prove god does not exist.. But since his books, old and new both, are combed with miracles, it should be veritably simple to prove that he does exist, thus Imho belief should be put in the non-existence until evidence is provided..

Naturally those thoughts stem from my Agnosticism... I cannot fathom having belief's based on Gnosticism...


The same logic can be applied to many possibly fictitious identities, and everyone should be able to gather my belief's on them following it.
