French Court Convicts Scientologists of Fraud!

Once I see a good reason for religion to stay in our society, I’ll stop bitching.

Yeah, when I typed that I thought “did I word this right?”
Then I forgot to rewrite it.

But it’d be a hell of alot easier if people DID agree with me.

Thats what the extremists say. :stuck_out_tongue:

Hahaha. Funny.

[COLOR=‘Black’]Fuck you.[/SIZE]

Good point, rot. Also, Sassy: I lol’d.

Fine, I’m an extremist atheist. I’m cool with that. At least I’m not going to kill a Reverend at a nearby church.

Being an extremist anything is a bad thing.

Fine. Then I’m the only one here that realizes that religion is worthless. Is that cool with you?

“Realises” is completely the wrong word.

EDIT: Look, I’m an atheist: for me, religion has no meaning whatsoever. I can’t even comprehend how people believe in a religion. However, people get happiness and security from them, and who am I to contest that? Religions are the same as every organisation in existence: the only problems arise due to extremists or people that exploit or manipulate through the organisation.

You’re an arrogant and ignorant fool if you think it’s worthless.

As long as (any :hmph :slight_smile: religion stays out of my way and doesn’t try forcing some random law on me I’m cool.

Too bad religion will NEVER stay out of our way and will ALWAYS try to force some random law or beleif on EVERYONE!

Abortion (yeah, I’m a little queasy on this topic…)
Stem Cell Research (…but look at all the good it can do!)
Gay Marriage
Hell, Gays serving in the Army (the “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Policy” was passed by the same man that betrayed his wife for an intern)
Disrespect for dead soldiers because we think “it’s okay to be gay!”
(I’m not gay btw. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
Promotes not using condoms (except for Buddhism, which sprinkles holy water on condoms. Kick ass!)
Some even say that AIDS is God’s punishment to homosexuals and people who are tolerant of homosexuals.

But you don’t get my point: There’s NO REASON for religion to exist! None! It’s not only pointless, but dangerous!

You hear that?

Dangerous

You know, because a guy shooting a doctor that works at an abortion clinic isn’t dangerous at all!

Yeah, cause that happens all the time.

I don’t know, how religion holds so much power over so many people, and that it can easily be abused does seem slightly dangerous.

Like the Crusades!

“Fight those dirty Muslims and take back the holy land, and you’ll be forgiven for alllllllllllllllllllll of your sins!”
Too bad there is no God and thus there is no real “holy land.”

I agree on the part where you said it can be dangerous, but how would one prove god exists?

I’m probably missing some blatant sarcasm or something, but scientology? Wait, nevermind, you can’t not be joking.

Anyways, while I do agree that any organized religion can be dangerous because of the power religious leaders hold over their followers, that’s no reason to be disrespectful to religious people.
If you go about saying that religion should be purged from the world and that anyone who believes is an idiot, you’re just as bad as those stereotypical christians or muslims that force their belief on you.

If everyone was just tolerant of other people’s beliefs, the world would be a much better place.

I got it, Robot! :slight_smile:
