    They sure do. Everyone seems to wear very narrow blinkers as far as organised religion is concerned.



    Can you give me an example of unorganised religion?

    Great, you try your own personal math and physics and let me know how it works out for you.

    Are you saying you don't control how you think? Does someone have access to your brain and control it for you?

    Point is, it is a cliche and a huge generalisation.

    You've heard of brain washing?

    so you are saying our brains are not flexible and remain stagnant from childhood?

    No religion should be bashed , nor should atheism or agnosticism.

    And with that one sentence you have just bashed an entire religion. I guess it's only Christianity that suffers from persecution complex.

    As far as I or anyone else knows, it works according to math and physics. Do you work on some other schema?

    Are you comparing an ancient global religion with billions of believers to a made up satirical "god" by atheists to poke fun of religious people?

    It doesn't matter if it has one follower or a billion you are claiming Christianity should be respected yet are happy to bash another religion. Hears up, ALL religions and gods are "made up".

    Ok think about this.... you open the curtains one morning.... it is raining outside. You can have 2 reactions to this:

    1. Oh how depressing a horrible day
    2. Oh rain again, but it will still be a great day because I am meeting friends later

    Does the rain control which option you take or do you?

    A satirical and mocking religion created for bashing and bigotry should be respected? You are being illogical. Surely a normal atheist doesn't support bashing real religions?

    What does that even mean? Bodies and brains work because of math and physics and chemistry.

    One that isn't created by atheists to mock, bash and show bigotry towards religious people would be a start.

    So I lied in your filter of reality,which was created by you, not passively... you are getting it bit by bit now.

    Reality is reality however it's filtered. I prefer as few filters as possible. Reality is, as you know, what there is when you're not looking.

    :confused:

    So your "tactic" is not to answer any questions but instead muddy the waters of "reality"?

    I reject the teaching of satanism but I don't mock it or bash it.

    Thankfully most atheists are mature and respectful towards those who are religious.

    I reject the teachings of all religions and have never "bashed" any, I liken religion to drugs, it's your life and if you need it in your life then who am.i to judge?

    I don't 'bash' people's beliefs, unless they are imposed on me without any rationale. I am prepared to 'bash' religion on that basis. If religion does not interfere with my life, fine, get on with it. You can do hill walking or train spotting or line dancing or keep fit; none of those dictates any aspect of my daily life. Same with religion, if you are doing it and not insisting it be used to make any decisions about my life, I will not bash it.
