Does religious bigotry bother you at all?

[QUOTE="Lonelynight"][QUOTE="the_plan_man"] The absense of evidence doesn't mean the evidence of absense. LJS9502_basic

just going to toss this out there as people seem to be asserting science where there is none either way. if you make the claim of god or lack there of that brings you to hypothesis, good luck getting past there.... either side.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Lonelynight"] If I were to conduct a scientific investigation to find the existence of fairies, and find no evidence, it is rational to conclude that there are no fairies, but that does not mean that if evidence of fairies were to be found I will still believe that there are no fairies. It is irrational to believe that there is a god because of the lack of evidence, that doesn't mean that there is 0% percent chance of god being real, it just means that the probability of god existing is smaller than the probability of me appearing on Mars the next minute.Lonelynight

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Lonelynight"]It does not say that it does not exist, it says that there is no evidence that it exist, so it is logical to assume that it doesn't exist.Lonelynight

Where Science does have evidence to back it up, it's a constantly changing field, very much like religion.

that is why i am agnostic and not an atheist.... i need at least a good argument and i cant see it therefore... is not good enough for me.surrealnumber5

not in the slightest :roll:

[QUOTE="Lonelynight"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Which means not much. There are things right now that we don't know which scientists aren't looking at. But that doesn't mean that a.....they don't exist...or b....they might not be discovered. My point is that it's a slippery slope to use the science argument for what we as humans have no information on. Science is human.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="NiKva"] Yeah. Atheists complaining about religious bigotry is usually bigotry to me :/NiKva

TBH I'm more bothered by religious fanatics than anti-religion fanatics

But that's just bias :P

It bothers me the amount of religion bashing that comes here daily I hate thread titles like yours because I have no desire to go into a religion thread but such clear insults are annoyingfueled-system

Religions people have a persecution complex in here.

The article is about a religious group banning people (a physical act) from going to a certain church because of skin colour.

If people dissagree with this, then they are suddenly as bad as people doing the banning? It is not the same thing.

Religious fanatics are certainly more dangerous.

It used to bother me but I just try to ignore it.

I hate the fight over which is true or not.

I'm an atheist (for the most part) and don't go around saying that science stuff is right, I just feel that it makes the most sense. I of course wonder about things like the Big Bang, and how we determined when it happened (the age of the universe), but I also wonder how people can believe in things mentioned in the Bible as fact (a guy houseing every animal on a boat; 1 son kills the other, and is shunned by everyone, when they're suppose to be the only other people on earth, besides Adam and Eve).

In my mind, religion is based mostly around magical events, and humans should know by now that we are in no way "magical," but we do love the topic lol

Well, science doesn't necessarily disprove God, but it disproves the stories that happened in the bible, and without the bible, what reason do you have to believe in God?

I wouldnt mistake criticism for bigotry. Some people get uspet when you criticize their views or practices, but if you act publicly then you're subject to criticism. But criticism should not lead to persecution.

Also funny when the Catholic priests have sex with the little boys (it's prejiduce until it actually happens) lol.

And about what you said with committing sins: Nowadays, all you have to do is tell a priest what you did, repeat a line a few times, and your fine. Seems legit roflmao

And don't even get me started on all of the "end of the world" beliefs also XD

I think bigotry in general bothers me, but it is annoying to see people pushing their beliefs as fact. Atheists making threads on how wrong religious people are, religious people saying you'll go to hell if you don't accept their religion, other religions insulting those religions for their cultural associations, etc.

Its why I think I'm more agnostic then atheist or religious, since I like to look at everything from a "possibility" point of view.

Its also why everyone who isn't agnostic is wrong and ruining the world and you should all be agnostic :P

People who try and push their views on others always bother me, wether it be religous or atheist, liberal or conservative, xbox fanboy or ps3 fanboy ect.....

I have no problem with religous people or atheists in general, just the radical ones who act like bigots. And yesthere are bigoted atheists too.

Religion is historically anything but "personal".spazzx625

I only dislike it when laws and rules are made based on those bigoted ideas. Other than that, they can do whatever they like, doesn't bother me.

I like things shoved in my face. Charazani

What's this..? A falice? Here you go!

I think everyone would agree bigotry in general is annoying...

With every belief, or belief of a non belief, you will have fanatics who have to shove it on other peoples' faces in hope that they will agree and thus confirm their own insecurities.

[QUOTE="spazzx625"]Religion is historically anything but "personal".DevilMightCry

Not really, to be an atheist simply means you are anti-theist; or just against religion. There isn't really much else to it. Religion is completely based around people. History shows it.
