Also, yeah, I'm an anti-theist. I find it all irrational and bullshit to be honest. I just don't care enough to argue such silly things as "does god exist?" or "what color is Saturday?"
Anti-theists are just as bad as Religious Fundamentalists in my book.

I love how you just focus on my views of religion and God while completely ignoring the rest of my post which shows religion to be dangerous.

Please give reasoning then, as Queen did for her viewpoint.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Do I really have to explain?  Alright, then.  They're arrogant, judgmental, bigoted, ignorant, and all around unbearable.  They allow their biases to get in the way of objectivity.  They treat anybody who doesn't share their horrific viewpoints as mentally deficient.  Sound familiar? 

Let's continue this discussion in Flame & Burn.

Then you have no perspective. Religious fundamentalists are stoning people in the middle east, people burning down abortion clinics, influencing governments. What have anti-theists been doing? ranting on the internet.

I've come to be a little anti-theist myself, but I'm live and let live. I think we'd be better off without religion, but I'd rather people give it up themselves rather than force them to.

Let's just get away from the anti-theism debate.  That belongs in Flame and Burn.

Anyway, Religion ended the Viking raids.  After they converted to Christianity, they stopped plundering.

And destroyed philosophies that it didn't like.

You may or may not believe that Jesus Christ was the messiah, but just about everybody agrees that he was a real person.  A lot of his messages are very good.  I just wish more of the flock followed them...
