To the religious:
I need not say more, because the insane offspring of religious extremists shows enough about the establishment of religion.

If everyone interprets the bible differently then why the fuck have a bible, just make up your own shit.

How on Earth can you compare the WBC to the rest of Christianity? It's like comparing Gary Ridgway to Mr. Rogers.

Actually, please.  Say more.  I'm curious how a few religious nut jobs prove that all religion is 'unstable and overall shit'.

well, I think it really shows how scary religion is.  It starts with a couple nut jobs and their following grows and grows until it passes the hard to find line between cult and religion.

Well simple. These people think that what they believe is what god wants. And they believe that the rest of you people who believe in Christianity are wrong.
How can you have so many different versions and beliefs of god? It doesn't make sense. The funny part is you all think your version of god is correct.

I find it best to respect all belief systems, be they Christian, Islamic, Buddist, Atheist or whatever.  Religions were the only moral basis for hundreds of years, and some people cannot function without religion.

Yes, hundreds of years ago when they believed the Sun god dragged the sun across the sky.
The "Sun god religion" got stomped out by science,

NOW WHY CANT THE REST OF THESE FUCKING RELIGIONS FINALY GET STOMPED OUT BY SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have always found humorous the idea that everyone goes to hell but 1 religion.  It's like winning the lottery.  SEveral hundred religions, but only 1 gets you into heaven.

According to South Park, it's the Mormons.

because it takes time and evidence. everyone now laughs at the sun god but i bet after it was proven wrong people still believed in it. just like now, we have so many facts contradicting the bible yet people dont acknowledge them or spin the situation around to fit into their beliefs.

give it time.

I'm an atheist, but I completely understand the need for religion. People who take it too seriously... they can go away, but the moral values and answers religion provides can be extremely comforting.

When I was nearly suicidal I went to church 2 times a week for 2 months and that made things a ton easier. I didn't have to believe in god, just listening to the sermons was enough of a spiritual experience to find some peace with what I believe is an entirely random and unforgiving existence. The pastor of that church is someone I will never forget, because he was able to captivate people from all religions. One day, the church even had 3 sermons, one islamic, one christian and one jewish all revolving around the theme of coexistence. The three speakers (the pastor included) were some of the most gentile people I have ever met.
What i learned from that sermon is that the values of religion don't corrupt people, but the elitist idea that these values are strictly YOURS makes people bigots. The three speakers that day all lacked this elitism, and it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life to date, even though I didn't and don't believe in god.

Hey, you name one person that has people follow thier words after 2000 years.

this coming from a guy who, naturally, thinks HIS version of god (or lack of) is correct.

The problem with you atheists is, you refuse to educate yourselves about religion.  You simply observe and comment.

It's ignorant, and fallacious.
