Yeah. At least this is how I see it. I'm glad that j make sense to one other person on this server.

I actually really enjoy your posts and your overall weltanschauung. I disagree with certain viewpoints you hold, but I understand why you hold them and respect that.

If you were to ask me though, from my limited travelings on this planet, I would say that Christians are without a doubt the most moral group. I would say Buddhists are a close second. That's just my opinion. I don't think attacking them accomplishes anything except demonstrate the ignorance of those vilifying people they don't understand.

A conservative estimate puts roughly 20% of Christians as not being complete pieces of trash. If you think a group that is 80% immoral hypocrites is the most moral group on the planet, I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

I said this earlier in this thread. There is a reason that Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, NZ, Australia, Canada, UK, US, Finland, Estonia . . . .etc, are all overwhelmingly successful. Even if these places are post-Christian, you cannot separate their common Protestant heritage from why they are successful today.

Don't know why you bounced back and fourth around the globe with that list, but let's add some perspective.
Australia, New Zealand (MFW the autocorrect thinks 'Zealand' is a typo), Canada, and the US are all nations developed by persons who had fled from religion or religious states.
Denmark, Sweden, Holland, the UK, Finland (not sure about Estonia) are all falling apart because of the influx of Muslim immigration. It's gotten to the point that the 'Progressive' leaders of both the U.K. and Sweden have made it required for news outlets to not list the names of the perpetrators of rape or members of these games because every single one has a Muslim name and they don't want to sound racist. Look it up. Rape in Europe has gone up 5000% since the Muslim invasion started in 2006.

80% of christians are pieces of trash... Wow. Holy shit you're bigoted.

Those countries were founded by people fleeing famine and economic insecurity. Also, the puritans were actually more religious than the average Englishman.

Protestant culture has as foundational values three things:
1. Literacy
2. Tolerance
3. Critical thinking

The western world is successful almost assuredly because of the developments that are a direct result of the cultures created by the Reformation. The only commonality of those countries is their Protestant heritage. It isn't an accident, it isn't a mistake. The success of the western world is built upon a religious ethos.

Also, I mentioned Buddhists are a close second. What portion of them are immoral oh enlightened one. Please tell us all your valuable estimation of other people's worth.

How can you not see how common you are to a religious extremist. 80% of christians suck says the atheist. 80% of Yazidis suck said the muslim

I love when people think that the Catholic Church is representative of what the bible actually says. Makes me laugh.

Kagatob is by far the worst person here. Just so... tedious. Pseudo-intellectual, sheltered, and most importantly - confidently wrong about the way the world is. And that's saying something in this particular context. You idiots.

Kagatob I think it's time you top worrying about what other people are doing on their own time, and start praising juses more so that you can learn to live withyourself and then u will be ok with all those juses freaks.

P.S. thx Katrik Juses is the best #1 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess the distinction I'd like to see made is between things that are simply religious and religion itself. Just because something can be religious, doesn't mean it is therefore a religion.
