It's unfortunate that your towering intellect manifests itself in the same manner in the highly technical forum. Oh, and your inability to spell is certainly not due to your superior brain - you're just a lazy douche nozzle who hasn't figured out how to use a spell checker.

Do you think I care enough, about what gets said here to use spell check ?

Seriously. at best this is AMUSEMENT for me when I feel like blowing peoples heads off.

Oh speeel checker makes everyone look so much smarter, especially with grammar correction.

BTW there is a massive abundance of misinformation in the technical forums. Alot of it from "reputable" sources.

If you have a question about how something works.

read the white papers.

Yes, and a prepubescent troll like yourself will correct the PhDs in the room when we make a technical error by telling us that we don't get it (and similar technical criticisms). Once you finish middle school, you'll find out that a lot of things are still unsolved. Once we solve them, we write white papers for people married to excheerleederz to read so they can feel good about themselves, never worrying about where the magical white paper came from.

Religions should not be tax-exempt.

:thumbsup:

I've said this for years and have gotten reactions ranging from crazy looks to heated arguments. I'm fine with them deducting expenses which are used to actually help people; however, building brand new churches the size of modern stadiums is NOT helping house or feed people and it really pisses me off.

It's not like religions are getting special treatment by the tax man. They have to jump through all the same hoops as every other "non-profit" organization. Hospitals and other organizations do the same crap. I'm not saying churches or hospitals should be tax exempt, only that it's our ridiculous tax code enabling the situation.

Religion is another form of Government, one that has been proven wrong throughout history. It does not allow for questioning it's rules or beliefs, it does not allow for trial by a jury of your peers, in short, it's 1300 to 2000 years old.

Isn't it time that we outlaw it, in the face of Government, which is a superior moderator of society?

The two can't coexist.

There are millions of people crushed by Religion today, and if America had a strict no religion policy, they could have hopes, that a Government would some day be there, and Religion would be squashed.

It's a tool. Not good. Not bad. A tool to educate. But can be abused to teach the wrong mental state. It is all about mass psychology...
Learn about how groups of people function. How their brains work when they synchronize like a flock of birds. When you understand that, you understand what religion was meant to do and what it unfortunately has been used for (Which you already know). It is all about hope. Turn hope into despair. Or turn despair into hope... The latter is what humans seek. The first is what humans do...

Religion is a fucking mind disease and it needs removal by any means nessacary. If that means killing 50% of the worlds population. I can except those loss's for the betterment of humanity.

Religion is not freedom in any form no matter the rights granted to voulentary enslavement. religion is enslavement priod.

you do have the right to enslave yourself and get mind fucked at the same time. Although I would succnctly aruge that any organized religion is actually a afront to freedom of choice and free speech becuase

NO FUCKING RELIGION WANTS THESE THINGS !

Fuck it, lets just junk the whole goddamn bill of rights. Why do we need that thing? All it does is cause problems by preventing the government from stampeding on all of our freedom.

You take away other freedoms by removing the freedom of religion. I don't see how you don't understand that. We would no longer have free press because we would not be able to write from a religious perspective, it would be illegal. We would no longer be able to talk about religion, it would be illegal. philosophical debates would pretty much cease because anyone could point and scream "OMFG HE'S PREACHIGN RELIGION" to shut down free speech. I'm sorry as much as I dislike organized religion I totally disagree with you.

The Freedom to be a Communist, is covered elsewhere. It's not mentioned anywhere in our constitution, but you can be a Communist, all you like.

That Religion, which I argue is another form of Government, is granted the same state as freedom of speech, or the press, is ludicrous.

Communism, Socialism, Religion, are all failed attemps at regulating Society.

America's Republic, is the first form of Government that allows for Comunists, Socialists and Religions. A lot of that is due to First Amendment rights, including Free Speech and Free Press.

None of it is due to Free Religion.

We have the right to organize groups, period. If you outlaw religion you are stampeding on that right because you are saying people can only form certain types of organizations or groups. You trample on the freedom of speech because you are not allowing them to share their religious beliefs through word. You are trampling on their freedom of press because we can no longer have religious news papers. How do you not understand this? Freedom of religion doesn't even have to be in the constitution for it to be there through the other means. You cannot destroy freedom of religion without trampling on our other freedoms.
 
I just explained to you how Communists, etal, can meet freely today.

They can do so without any ties to Religion whatsover.

Any group can gather, within whatever laws, and talk about whatever they please.

What do you not understand?

-John
 
Our forefathers were very religious, and duh, it was 250 years ago today.

Today, we realize how wrong Religion is, and how it should not be included in our Constitution as a basic freedom.

It has no place there, beside free speech and free press, which are true universal freedoms.

You really don't see the contradiction in these two posts? Really? REALLY?

But, I couldn't organize a religion right? I couldn't start a newspaper with any religious leanings or op-eds correct? I couldn't go around preaching any religious teachings could I? So you're stamping on my freedoms. They're no longer freedoms they're stipulations. You can talk and do anything want except religion. Yeah... you're a fucking moron if you think we'll have anything resembling freedom if we ban religion. Don't be such a goddamn tool.
 
You could do all those things..

Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press, etc.

That you are a fucked up Religious nut, has little to do with it.

But you couldn't talk about religion so you do not have the FREEDOM of Speech, you have restricted speech. You couldn't have a religious leaning news organization so you do not have the FREEDOM of Press, you have restricted press. You could not form a group of like minded people who share similar beliefs and belief systems so you do not have the FREEDOM to organize, you are restricted. This is not FREEDOM. Like I said, stop being a tool.
