What do you think is the most evil profession in this world and why?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I was surprised that Abortion Clinic Doctor wasn't one of the options. (I'm not saying they are the most evil, but with some of the debates I've seen on this forum I thought for sure it would be one of the options).
Those people who handle insurance claims. Their whole entire job description is attempting to avoid having to give you services you have already paid for. And when they have no other choice but to cover something, they try to f*** you as much as possible by paying as little as they can.

Am I alowed to say Atheist speaker?
Well, that's not really a profession now, is it?
Dave Silverman, president of the American Athiests, might disagree with that.when you say evil, do you mean you have to be evil to want to do it, or the definition of doing it is evil? Like, I'd say pulling the gas lever in a prison is an evil thing to do, but by the same token, it doesn't make someone evil for having that job...maybe I'm overthinking this.

so yes, people do make a living off it I see.
Seems like more of a political activist. Does your statement now include all political activists who happen to be atheists?

If his political Activism is Suporting atheism... :P
You know, I only said that to ask why your allowed to say being a pastor is evil right?... I'm not going to actually acuse some one of being evil because they teach the opposite of my opinion.

See, now you're being far more discriminatory than I was. I simply said pastors were evil, not all activists who supported Christianity. As to why I'm allowed to say that, why is anyone allowed to say any profession? Pastor's a profession, no different from any other.
Probably either mad scientist, supervillain, or evil genius (e.g. Lex Luthor). The three categories aren't mutually exclusive, and combinations of the three just make them more evil. :Pchessmaster1989I don't think Mad Scientist are evil, they're chaotic neutral. They just happen to be interested in studying forces that could destroy the world, but they don't intentionally try to be evil and take pleasure in doing so. :P

If I didn't know any better I would take your point on this but I always see you bashing religion. Let's not turn this into a religion thread please. If anything I want this to be a political thread. Can't I have a say in how my thread goes off topic? It is my thread...Sarah Palin
edit: whoooops, thought you said politician. Obviously criminal.

I don't understand why you would say pastors are evil if you believed that, and thats what I'm getting at. Wether or not you were serious when you said I'm not sure, because some times its hard to tell online.
If you read my real answer It said "super villain" which is the only real answer to TC's question :P A job is'nt inately evil, its the person in the position that evil

I use the term 'evil' loosely. I don't think most people on these forums literally think Wal-Mart CEOs are evil (but some do).when you say evil, do you mean you have to be evil to want to do it, or the definition of doing it is evil?

I never "bash" religion, my complaints against and objections to religion/religious issues are all grounded in objective claims.

There's a difference between a bad person and an evil person. A bad person does bad things (like stealing or lying or whatever). An Evil person, however, truly damages another person (like abusing a defensless child and ruining them for life kinda stuff).

They demand people's contributions simply for delivering bland and empty speeches each week, they take that income and use it to build up their church, they demand people's time for the church regardless of whether or not those people actually have the time, not to mention the many objections I have against religious schools, the many instances of pastors using their platforms to coax their followers into objectionable causes, the way they cry religious discrimination when anyone calls them on any of this, and so on. I don't rightly believe in evil, but the way I see it at best pastors do nothing but leech, at worst they make life harder for everyone.

You seem to use the word 'demand' pretty liberally.[QUOTE="theone86"]

You seem to use the word 'demand' pretty liberally.I don't really consider it a request when the person they're asking thinks they're serving a higher cause. Hey, could you come and do some things for us? You could say no, we're only representatives of the mighty creator who's going to give you eternal life, but you can say no to him if you REALLY think that's wise.
I see you haven't been to church since the middle ages.They demand people's contributions simply for delivering bland and empty speeches each week, they take that income and use it to build up their church, they demand people's time for the church regardless of whether or not those people actually have the time, not to mention the many objections I have against religious schools, the many instances of pastors using their platforms to coax their followers into objectionable causes, the way they cry religious discrimination when anyone calls them on any of this, and so on.

Giving our donations helps spread gods word, thats the way we look at it.
If i really wanted to play it that way, I could say that Atheists are depriving people of Future life in heaven (the worst act of all), are taking peoples money when they ask for contributions, (Which i've seen them do) only to push their own agendas and well being with it. Not to mention the objections I have to how the represent their cause, and the way they cry "Ignorance" and "disinformation by the church" whenever anyone brings up another opinion.
See?
yes many idependant pastors do wrong, hateful, or bad things with their support, but Many represent legitimate organizations, such as the various churches. Any assumptions can be leveled in any direction towards anyone.
This isn't a religious thread though, and i have the feeling TC doesn't want us meassing it up though :P
