Why does this site bash religion all the time?

Ok, I am just as tired of religous threads as much as the next guy, but honestly what is your problem? I don't understand why this website is so anti-religous. You make it seem like religion has caused all your suffering and I'm not talking about everyone on this board but to those who just really try to seek attention. Please don't deny because its so obvious. Its funny how Atheist on this board complain about christians trying to spoon feed them with their faith yet ironically Atheist try to shove the denial of a god down our throats. You say that religion has cost the lives of millions of people throughout time? Many of todays serial killers are Atheist. No wonder they are because they take that image "since there is no god, Im not going to be punished" for themselves. General Mao, Joseph Stalin, Ed Gein, Polpot are All atheist!! I know it looks like im now bashing on atheism, But enough is enough. Out of nowhere, even in nonreligous threads, I see "there's no god", "christians are brainwashed", "Science can disprove religion, yay", "I can prove that god doesnt exist". In few, very few boards, I have never seen a fanatic praise the holy book on gamespot so dont question me, Im expressing myself JUST like you are. Before you question my beliefs, I have logic, I am a loyal christian but i still have high respect in the field of science because I love learning about facts. YES, wow, a christian that loves studying facts. I just don't see it, "I'm so bored, Im just going post a topic of me trying to disprove god". Shouldn't you keep it to yourselfs? I GARANTEE that if I made a topic about god, it would be instantly denied. I DO believe in miracles, I do believe in god, and I do believe in heaven and dont you dare call me dilusional. As a matter a fact, I wouldn't be suprised that god is not here, With such a hateful and evil world we live in, no wonder he doesnt show.

Yeah, I can already see more religion topics coming now. Thanks dude.

It's like people think they can put out a fire with gasoline or something.

Threads that complain about this stuff just make it worse, and they're much more annoying.

I don't bash religious people. I only bash people who don't accept evolution as a proven FACT. Much in the same way as I would bash someone who tried to argue that grass isn't green.

We are talking about the greatest question known to mankind. Why shouldn't we debate about it? It's pretty damn important.

Also, I see as many die-hard Christians on this site as I do atheists so....

When did I say that I enjoy seeing people make a bunch of boring and hackneyed arguments against Christianity that have been said dozens of times over?

Look, I don't like most religion threads either, but complaining about it isn't going to make it go away.

Kamekazi_69

...its a question?

Umm... im not atheist but you should open a history book. Many groups of people used religion as a means to justify war (example WW2), some still do which is sad. Also serial killers dont kill as many people as an army would :(

[QUOTE="H8sMikeMoore"]because religion dosent deserve special treatment.Kamekazi_69

fine. i dont care.

Shouldn't you keep it to yourselfs?

Kamekazi_69

Why should we? Crucially, don't you see the hypocrisy of complaining about bashing religion, and then go on about atheist serial killers? What makes you think that people who enjoy debating religion shouldn't do so, and what makes you think that your faith is immune from criticism? What an incoherent mess of a post you've produced.

Nothing is stopping you from speaking your mind, but I'd guess that most of us would prefer that you keep it to one topic, instead of making another one to clutter up the front of the board. No one can really stop you from making topics about it (except the mods), but we'd probably be better off if we just kept discussion to just one topic at a time, and if someone is attacking religion, then you may as well defend it in the topic that it's being attacked, instead of making another topic for it.

The only person here that's really stopping you from responding to anything is yourself.

[QUOTE="H8sMikeMoore"]because religion dosent deserve special treatment.Kamekazi_69

And atheism isn't getting any while religion is, unless you classify special treatment as in atheists being the least liked minority in the US.

[QUOTE="H8sMikeMoore"]because religion dosent deserve special treatment.Kamekazi_69

No one said it did, that's an obvious straw man argument. Fail.

You know what agravates me more than religous threads? Is when people bring evolution and religion in the same subject or topic for that matter.

I wasn't trying to bring it in. I was just highlighting what I bash. Which isn't the religous.

I'd say that there are a very small amount of people who have ever killed in the name of atheism.
