@Walsp sorry about that. My phoneβs keyboard keeps screwing up. Lol
Don't know about most, but a good enough chunk
@ExceptionalFeather tell that to the middle east
I'm of the mindset ""if you need a deity to tell you how to be good, there is something horribly wrong with you".
I've gotta go brush my teeth for no reason in particular
a good chunk of people can't be functioning members of society.
Religion is for the morals. We need them to know what's good.
i love how people keep saying religion is stupid but nobody tried convincing the muslims its bad
because w/o Religion there is no forgiveness.
Christianity teaches you Forgiveness
Ethics and utilitarianism are more than enough to suffice.
@LittleGiantJ oh. So you think youβre better than everyone. Got it.
if only some christians i know would learn that
I try convincing muslims it's bad all the time
This looks so bad

Now you're getting into ad hominems. Typical.
one thing I've learned is you can't sway someone from their beliefs unless they want to be swayed
@Grenade123 christians in my country practice this thing called forgiveness. .because we havent started killing black people for no fucking reason
Thing is: Parts of the Bible are just storys that should give you morals.
You shouldn't take them literally, just serious.
Just because its an ad hominem, doesn't make it incorrect.
Religion is like Racism in my mind. It's neither good or bad, it's just an ideology. It's the actions you take based on it that I can judge good or bad.
By the way did you know muhammud the sort if guy to insult another mans god , get insulted back and make revelation not to insult other gods after the fact?
no, that was a blatant ad hominem, his opinion of others shouldn't be relevant to the previous statement in his argument
religion cant be like racism . because Christianity accepts everyone it doesnt exclude you based on skin colour
Someone else likes ad hominems, unprovoked ones even.
the dixicrats would disagree
The people who practice it do however sometimes
many in middle east could probably be worse off without Islam, but I do not deny that while religion can be positive and help people that would otherwise be worse off, religion can also be used where people who would otherwise be fine or commit small crimes against society escalate to serious crimes against societes
thats the human flaw
How the fuck did Science drag this conversation into religion
Fuck you science
look what you did
I'm scared of how many quotes people have from me but I bet a lot of em are hilarious
@Walsp this whole thing was religion in the first place
well it was about young earth creationist to begin with
@LittleGiantJ I'm of the mindset ""if you need a deity to tell you how to be good, there is something horribly wrong with you".
^^^ how does that not imply that you think youβre better?
Okay . .
I lost the plot then maybe its because i just woke up
Maybe π
hehe i just found this
this is why i don't find religion particularly required. i know too many "religious" people that do not follow the teachings at all, while i have non-religious practicing the morals the "religious" should have learned from their texts. Can make you wonder how that happens.
