you know what I wish would go away? (And here comes the rest of this community to hate on me) People that remain ignorant towards other peoples beliefs, so much so that they can't see the good it does in so many people's lives. Now, I am not religious in any way, very far from it, but one thing that I find so amazing about other peoples culture is their diversity in getting through each day. I appreciate the way the human mind has evolved in such a way that we are able to think for ouselves and detect individually what we personally believe what is right and what is wrong.
What I can't stand is when people preach about being open minded, but then will shut down anyone that does not hold the exact set of moral beliefs as they do. I find it quite pathetic for people to put themselves above someone else based purely on a personal moral standpoint. Which is what you have stated above.
Now, having said that, I believe that most of what we see in our day to day lives can be explained through simple science, but, believe it or not, the belief in a deity is not as outlandish as the media would like you to think.
I apologize for any grammatical errors. I had to type this out in a hurry.
Thumbed this back up because I think you're making a really important point.
I'm not at all religious and there's times when I hate that aspects of my life are controlled by certain parts of the community who are religious mandating for everyone else the way everyone should live their lives. To counter that, I shouldn't be able to tell religious people how to live theirs.
Exactly. Thank you, glad to see that someone on this site got the point. I normaly dont post on this site unless it is the majority of what people think, otherwise, I just get hated on.
It is what it is. =)
Is it normal that I want religion to disappear from our planet?
