Santos Claus isnt religious.

I have never read Plato and my memory lacks any direct references to him. But he must be living on through me or something that is me but I don't know is me.

Well, I don't really remember my childhood. But I am certain there were a few public schools in there. I do remember some hallways and very angry teachers and some good fights.

So, I suppose my brainwashing is complete! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why does it ruffle your jimmies so hard when someone else decides they want to participate in religion?

Thats like being upset that someone in P99 uses Luclin models. Neither has any impact on you, so stop crying.

This comparison is very, very flawed to the point where I'm 50/50 on whether it's a troll post. Luclin models on someone's client effects nobody, Religion effects everybody.

Last I checked no one has flown planes into buildings over the Luclin models. Also, to act like religion doesnt guide political thinking in this country is beyond asinine. Take this dumbass senator for instance:

Genghis khan, Stalin, Mao, Khrushchev, Pol Pot

What religion did they follow? Stupidity, just like you!
Genghis Khan doesn't actually belong there as he had a shamanistic religion, but you get the point. People do evil things for a variety or reasons, mostly because they're pussies or sociopaths.

Also, mass hysteria over a fictitious "war on women" manipulates political opinion, what's your point? Something that influences public policy in a way that you don't like should be banned? Sounds like democracy in action, dumb ass

Was their atheism instrumental in carrying out their atrocities? There is no defining ‘holy book’ or text which seeks to dictate what atheists should or shouldn’t do as some divine diktat. One can hardly call atheism into question when the only thing atheism states is that there is no god or there is likely no god. It doesnt tell you how to treat people, how much a slave should cost, it doesnt promise anything ,and it doesnt require worship.

The atrocities surround Pol Pot, Stalin, etc. fall squarely on the political, social, and economic ideologies they fostered and placed into practice. They just happened to be atheist AND sociopaths. A very important distinction. I dont blame the preacher down the street when an abortion clinic is bombed but it seems you are quick to blame all atheists for the actions of a few.

Also, when did I call for a ban on anything? I was pointing out that religious dogma hinders rational thought. It conflicts with reality and is used to pass laws that affect the non-religious. In the US where 80% are religious it is akin to two wolves and a sheep deciding what is for dinner. If you think religious dogma is a good thing to base decisions on then I would ask you to consider what it would be like living as a Christian under Islamic law. I doubt you would be so flippant politicians restricting your rights or discarding scientific evidence under those same circumstances.

BTW, we live in a republic...not a democracy. There are laws in our constitution that quite clearly state there should be a separation of church and state. Freedom of religion is just as much about freedom from religious persecution as it is about protecting the religious.

Lastly, calling folks dumbass and stupid isnt an argument.
