Religion

[xLucyx]

I'm not one to discuss these things, so here are my thoughts.

I don't give a Flying **** what you belive, what you like/dislike or what your sexual orientation is. If people are nice, threat others with respect, and don't hate on others who are diffrent from them, i don't care. Just don't shove your beliefs down my throat and we're cool.

Live and let live, for **** sake.

Exactly what I think.

Hmm, I don't agree with all the three aspects, especially B. A few years ago a few fundamentalism christen people said to me that I'll come into hell and that I'm very bad if I don't hurry up becoming a christen. I don't like fundamentalism christens, moslims, hindoes, or whatever religion. They want you to become one of them and I'm actually a little scared of them. I've never seen a fundamentalist that was nice to me.

Did you fully read C? Because C explains perfecly that "pushing one's belief into people's throat". This is something that only fanatics do. Of course, it's a mistake. Fanatics can bother other people from their very religion. However, there are many religious people that aren't fanatics. So this isn't a reason to disrespect them

 

[Flakez]

Debate is one thing, sure. But insulting each other? Besides, it's not even the point of the thread.

That's what you get for making thread about religion.

That's exactly the point. People should respect and accept each other, no matter the differences. That's how we can reach true peace.
I hope you speak for both sides when you say "don't shove your beliefs down my throat". As I explained in C, it happens in both sides, and it's a mistake and it shouldn't be done. It doesn't mean all people of the 2 groups do this.

I'm not familiar with Islam, do you have a scripture from the beginning of man and woman? Like the first book, the equivalent of the Book of Genesis?

Islam believes that God has sent over 124000 prophets to mankind throughout history. Some of them were messengers, they had books. These would be like the Gospel of Jesus or the Torah of Moses or the Scrolls of Abraham. But, as time went on, these books were corrupted and altered by man, thus the Quran was sent down as the FINAL word of god till time's end.

As for history wise, everything is either jammed into the Quran, or the hadiths [the prophet Muhammad's sayings and quotes]

And what was I supposed to do? Pretend the problem doesn't exist? Let some people disrespect religious people? I had to try.

I agree, being ignorant to a problem won't solve it. But being aggressive neither. People should just once in a while sit, shut up and listen and only then once they have absorbed everything state their opinion.

Yeah. Why is it so hard for people to grasp this.
Everyone who lives their life, without making life worse for someone else, deserves some kind of respect.

People should never judge someone else for their actions, unless it directly affects someone else.

That's why i said that i don't give a flying ****

I've read, I just wanted to point that out. Can you give me one religion who doesn't have fanatics without beiing fanatic? Don't get me wrong, I don't give a sh*t about what others believe in and I don't disrespect them.

Actually, they arent as far away as you think - supernovas happens in our galaxy too. We are just lucky that our planet isnt located in one of spiral arms, where they happen more often. If it was, human kind and our civilization most probably wouldnt have time to develolop. But even with that, its almost certain that some of mass extinctions in history of our planet were caused by supernovas, they just werent close enough to wipe out life completely.

Considering that how large the universe is, and how old it is there must have been some civilizations that were wiped out by novas, or some other catastrophes like collision with meteorite. Things like this just happens spontaneously.

So umm.. what's your point?

You're missing the point. All religions, or at least most of them, have fanatics. This is obvious. But as I explained, religious people are different from one another, and saying theyare all the same is a mistake.
Many religious people from all religions aren't fanatics. At least, most religions have fanatics and have smart people too.

 

[Turson]

So umm.. what's your point?

Dont tell me, that you already forgot. Basically, this:

Yes. If God is real, then he/she/it definitely isn't all good and morally perfect. Such a being wouldn't create universe which is based on chaos and survival of the fittest mentality.

 

[Mattek2008]

Exactly what I think.

Glad there are people like you out there. It rises my faith in humanity, but then, after reading all the comments on these types of thread, it goes down again. Unfortunatly.

There's no living in space;nebulas can't harm anyone. Even if they do, everything dies, so it's kinda normal

Don't get me wrong, I don't care who what believes or not, I KNOW that there are also smart people and I don't disrespect them, but I point out the fundamentalsitic people, not the normal people. Shouldn't we do something about them?

Yup, I know what you think. I myself had a few moments with fanatics and I must say that they wheren't as pleased as I would like.

I don't know. There are fanatics of many types, including atheists. And fanaticism is not only related to religion either, even fanboyism is a form of fanaticism. I don't know if we can do something about this problem.

Whats yur point? And also, nebulas can harm you. If you happen to be in part of nebula where a star burst to life, then... oh boy.

Lol
