wtf are you talking about? this problem exists as long as religion does. it is at the core of its existence.

wait, so "hate" and "agression" is the answer?

wow...what wisdom

i have no idea wtf your talking about. i never said anything about that. reason is the answer.
blah

and if you think about it, the only real way to be a good person who is part of institutionalized religion is to be a bad follower. to pick and choose the parts of scripture that still do make sense, and to desperately interpret away negatives. being that this is playing fast and loose, the fundamentalists will always have something to stand on.

wait...so proving them wrong is good?

wow, what a waste of one's life in a time that allows you to reach such greatness if you focus on other things.

perhaps. perhaps proving that institutionalized religion and its frankly stupid dogmas has nothing to do with real spirituality would be a good thing.

well, if that is the truth, then yes it would. now if people would start doing that instead of defaulting to the vulgarity and logic of seven year olds you'd have something quite interesting.

Sadly, fundamentalist atheists can be as rabid as Pat Buchanan or the guys who kill doctors to "save the unborn."

FinalFantasy's thread was a simple suggestion for people to try an experiment and see if they could feel some connection to the Christian God. Actually a rather logical approach to testing for faith that atheists should approve of, and a challenge they can accept in the smug certainty that they will feel no such connection.

The response of most posters was to attack him for trying to "impose" his religion on them.

Highly illogical.

i gotta go with goose on this one. regardless of what you believe or think, there is no reason to be an asshole(obvious trolling could get a pass tho).

Thank you Goosemaster. Many on this forum are as close-minded and intolerant as they accuse others of being. I am pleased and relieved that not everybody is like that.
