And the two are mutually exclusive, all of a sudden?
This is great, going adfter someone who is silly about atheism makes a refreshing change from going after religious fools.

if anything it's the brainwashing and suppression aspects of religions that I have a massive problem with
I've lost a lot of friends to 'Faith'. Good, cool people who suddenly get in with the wrong crowd and turn into dull bible zombies.

So it's not "all forms of religion" that you have a problem with, is it?
It should read "some forms of religion" and then, all of a sudden, you aren't a bigot any more.

That doesn't happen to all people with faith though.
Some of us manage to be right cunts with social lives and slight dependencies on soft drugs and porn.

sorry, I just see anyone who has an invisible friend above the age of 8
as mentally ill.

Sorry, I just see someone who gives a shit about what I believe when it affects them in exactly 0 ways
as someone who has far too much time on their hands and not enough intelligence to fill it.

well you brought it into the argument!
I don't care. Live your life. Talk to your delusions at night.

No need to get so uppity when someone badmouths a bedtime story.

'sorry, I just see anyone who has an invisible friend above the age of 8'
If you can't take it, don't dish it. If you don't care, then having to make the point in your profile... well, that hardly adds up.

Go away and read some proper philosophy.

An inability to see the world from the perspective of others' is a form of mental illness.

Autism?

It's actually a mild psychosis.

Though I'm going to guess that in this case the poster, who has otherwise been excellent, is merely pretentious and young.
And if you tell anyone I've been sticking up for god-botherers I'll burn your church down, you bible eating freak.

I promise.

I can see the point of a child rapist.
The tight anus of a small boy may be a nice feeling. But I don't think it's right in any way.

And here we have the old logical fallacy known as the argument by inappropriate analogy.
Wrong when priests use it, wrong when you use it.

You still can't see the point of religious people, though.

(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:35, archived)
that old rhetorical chestnut.
I can picture you snorting loudly down your nostrils as I write this.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:29, archived)
Here's the point you should make;
"I hate religion but not religious people."
(I helped save b3ta! Zuowan, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:34, archived)
Or "I disagree with religion."
That'd be far better.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:40, archived)
I prefer my version.

(I helped save b3ta! Zuowan, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:41, archived)
It's just that "religion" referes to an incredibly wide range of beliefs, practices and organisiation.
To claim hatred of that entire panoply implies several sweeping conclusions.

I hate religion, peppers, halva, Basingstoke and Chris Moyles.
None of these are people so these are opinions I am free to have.

** Sigh ** You were doing so well !
There are a lot of people who belive in some sort of higher-power, after life, and magical sky wizard... who are fine decent normal people, who enjoy a good wank as much as anyone else.

THIS.
I agree a million percent.
(I helped save b3ta! Dr Preference AjcuiVd289, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:29, archived)
^ this is my point.

(I helped save b3ta! Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:32, archived)
i'm not saying they're bad people
just that religion is a form of suppression that we could probably get rid of now we're a bit grown up as a race.
(WhiskyForAll! b3ta isn't the place to bully people., Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:32, archived)
And forbidding people to believe what they want is....?

(I helped save b3ta! Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Tue 26 Aug 2008, 17:34, archived)
No it isn't.
Not necessarily, anyway.
