Fruity/Long,
Just in case you guys care, the content of this thread, from the very first post, isn't so much bashing religion, per se, as it is bashing Christianity.
well, any religion that can't be backed up with facts, sucks, imo. i attack the bible more than other books because from where i live, the bible is discussed the most. i shouldn't really single out any because they all suck. i suppose some are worse than others though. whichever one is the most not open to accepting other beliefs and encourages the most killing of disbelievers is probably the worst.
think of an atheist. he/she is open to any idea, but just wants proof. they don't go around encouraging people to kill people who don't agree. atheism is the best route, i don't care what anyone says.
Still, it can be argued that the Bible isn't meant to be taken literally (even though that instruction isn't contained within it); that even if the Bible is totally factually incorrect, if Jesus died to 'save' mankind and 'salvation' through acceptance of Him is possible, then Christianity can still be 'true'.
i like how you point out that the instruction to not take it literally IS NOT in the bible. that is major, imo. all you people out there who think you're a christian, you better be living up to it! if you want to go to heaven, where does it say you can not follow parts of it?!
a true muslim SHOULD KILL THE INFIDELS! the fundamentals ARE CORRECT! the problem is, their beliefs absolutely SUCK! think about it..how can you claim to be a muslim if you don't kill infidels and it tells you to?
so then you are left with... you either follow your religion as it says, or you don't. obviously, religious beliefs do not fit in with the real world. going around killing infidels is not going to be ok. therefore, all these religions are DEFUNCT!!!! it's time to realize you've been brainwashed, stop brainwashing your children, and move on to something that make sense and is acceptable in the real world.
