gonna back you up here, me too
since it always feels like you're saying something controversial when you admit it these days

mind you - I'm not going to have a god/no god debate on here. People always assume too much and listen too little (on both sides)

God and the internet
have a rocky relationship.

For my part, I don't care if other people believe in God or not. It only gets my back up when people tell me that I should.

It must be true.
There's a book written about it.

I only get annoyed when people
feel the need to assume what I believe (ie they assume I hate gay people or some such shit) and rant about how I must be an idiot.

As I say, there are twats on both sides of the argument

And peados on both sides of the fence as well.

OMG THIS
I hate that the most. I don't force my views on anyone, yet most people here like to jump down your throat about theirs. Who asked you anyway? I don't tell you what to believe.
They don't even know anything about my feelings on religion.

You're Christian
You hate muslims and gays and pinko leftists.

Obviously.

The interent just became a 2.3% sadder place for me on finding out this news.

( Bazongaloid, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 15:47, Reply)

It's funny you should say that
Because I often feel like I'm treading on thin ice when I admit I'm atheist. In fact, on here is the only place where I don't feel this is the case. (Indeed, that we have both used the word 'admit' implies there's a discernible social stigma with having come down on one side of the fence or the other)
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 15:47, Reply)

so there we have it
it's a social crime to have an opinion *sads*
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 15:49, Reply)

Oh no, certainly not.
It's only a crime when yours is the wrong opinion.
( Bazongaloid, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 15:51, Reply)

I beg to differ!

The only acceptable option is to shrug your shoulders and grunt in indifference.

You've gotta have an opinion Marvin!
( Bazongaloid, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 15:52, Reply)

An opinion is not so much the problem as the subject.
We find it hard to understand how you can believe in a God and you probably find it hard to understand how we can't.
( girlinthehole, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 15:52, Reply)

This is a very good point.
I can understand why religion might have come about, and why people might have begun to believe in a deity, but with all due respect to Crunchy and Kristine, I really do struggle to understand how people can believe in one these days.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 15:56, Reply)

i have no problem at all with people not believing
it's a very personal thing which can only be answered by the individual.
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 17 Nov 2010, 15:57, Reply)

the subject isn't a problem, it's how people express their opinions
when you're calling someone names for something they personally believe in then it's a problem

if I were to say "I don't actually believe 2+2=4." then call me an idiot, because it's proven to be true
you cannot prove there is not a God anymore than I can prove that there is
