[QUOTE="DevilMightCry"] Atheism is the same way. the_plan_man
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.
Not all athesits are anti-theists, though. They don't all despise religion, just all the ones who post here do. :PDon't judge everyone who chooses to use their brain vs. believing in something that doesn't exist ok? And for the record I think I speak for a lot of atheists on this board when I say we don't oppose religion but we do have a problem with the bible thumping christians that are trying to shove things down our throats. Face it religious people are just a lot crazier than non-religious people are. You don't seemany atheists screaming on the top of their lungs about something violent do you now? Crazy christians on the other hand.... You get the rest.
Regardless of whether God is real or not, why would anyone want to follow a religion anyway?
Every religious system that's been introduced to me hasn't sounded very enticing at all. I have to yet to see one that's made me think "Yes! This is the one I want to be a part of". Instead, they've all made me think "Man, that's kinda gay".
If it was cooler, maybe I'd consider it. For example, if Jesus could spin webs, I'd be sold. So yeah, I don't understand why people are attracted to it. Poor taste perhaps? Non-belief seems like the more attractive option.

Because following a religion = good person = spiritual/emotional health and all that = going to heaven
You want a spider for a God? That's not too off base from anything else I guess :P
