Gotta remember with older generations that they grew up with religion and not many doubting or questioning the church. They were told their beliefs and that is what they believe. Just because you show them some evidence does not mean they will be willing to change their belief system overnight

fyp

Dont argue with religious people, just dont .......

ammunition in case you need it

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours"

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

"You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend"

"Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions"

"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me."

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

"And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence"

"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one"

"I still say a church steeple with a lightning rod on top shows a lack of confidence"

"Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned."

The core message of religion has it's ups and can actually help bring people together. When it's twisted and used for personal gain or misinterpreted as well as being stuck on the whole "law" aspect of religion it brings headaches and much sorrow.

I don't try to talk to him about it heh.

repeating what carthac already said, ive found most people around my parents age (50-60) to be absolutely retarded with religion. For example my father was a high school math and science teacher in the 80's and yet he doesnt believe in global warming or evolution bc of his religious beliefs. Seriously retarded.

Religion is one of those core elements of human civilization that will never perish regardless of how advanced humans become. Along with poverty, prostitution, gingers and all that good shit in life. They're like trees, they're just there, and will continue to exist. Probably best to not care. And I mean this in a way where you really don't care. Not in the manner where you think you are better than them because you are a non-believer and try to convince the believers into non-believers. I frown every time I see those who try too hard to spread religion, but I can't see how you are any different if one is to convince others that there's no God.

On that note, it's always funny to troll mega-hardcore religious folks. And Koreans. KIMUCHI IS TRADITIONAL JAPANESE FOOD AND TAKESHIMA IS JAPANESE TERRITORY!1!1!!

Lol

Last week I caught an email in our filter addressed to the president of our company, about some bible bullshit called Nephalims. It was some typical religious chain letter email forwarded to a dozen or so friends of theirs claiming proof of these giant human beings apparently mentioned in the bible. Check out the following pictures that were included as their evidence:





This email goes on with your standard array of fancy fonts and bold letters exclaiming that this is 100% rock solid proof that these things exist and therefore everything in the bible is true. I've seen this cocksucker send emails to the pres before, and I'm sure half the people in my company would just eat this shit up. Nevermind the fucking eyestrain I get just looking at how fake these pictures are, the very fact that anyone could even forward this without noticing just makes me facepalm the fucking world. This is how stupid everyday average intelligent people can be. These are all college educated people, most with masters in their field, passing bullshit around like this. Really depressing.

indeed lol at that as well :D
ur basically saying that people that base their beliefs on pure facts and logic are just as dumb as people who just believe in something non existent .. cool story bro


edit: post pics on site where we d see em? :D

so so true. I hate how fanatic religious people claim to be doing the work of god as they hurt people left and right. Doesn't sound like gods work to me at all. Like, umm, the fucking crusades? Yeah, such the work of god. Sure.

It's hard not to care when peoples' religious beliefs directly affect my state of being. Christian groups, amongst others, directly oppose online gambling. My former president went to war in Iraq believing it was a mission from God. Christian groups also oppose abortion, stem cell research, thereby imposing on the rights of other human beings, and preventing scientific progress. The list goes on and on and this is a problem because the majority of Americans are religious.

Religious groups are pretty much the last remnant of people stuck in the past. In a time where broadband internet is readily available to most people, people should be enlightened with knowledge of science, logic, etc. instead you just have the millions brainwashed by their faith, reproducing and spreading the gospel to their kids. Kids don't know any better, so they grow up with the artificial beliefs imposed upon them by their parents, and the cycle continues.

Atheist #s have risen in the past decade though, so that's something to look forward to .

atheists can be pretty annoying as well imo
