do you guys just not get the damage that religion does, the restrictions placed on non-beleiversand the impact you guys have on our lives? Look at the middle east, that is way i care about your ridiculous beliefs, unfounded in reason or logic and potentially dangerous.
The people of the Middle East are no more dangerous than were those of ATHEISTIC Russia, under Joseph Stalin. Should atheism be cast away, based on the amount of bodies he racked up, under his regime?
we have no interest in god, but in the people that beleive in him. Also, the irraionality displayed by believers shocks me. For example intelligent design. It has been dismissed in court and proven to be nothing more then religion with no scientific backing, while evolution is the most accepted biological theory to date. Yet you guys continue to insist it is a religion and ID is a science or offers some form of answer. You guys are blind with faith and completely irrational, that is a dangerous combination. You wont listen to contradictory views or accept contrary evidence, you suggest you have all the answers and tell me im going to hell for not beleiving what you do.
This has nothing to do with Intelligent Design or evolution. But, since you want to bring it up, evolution is based on materialism/atheism, just as Creation has its Judeo-Christian roots. Both are based on philosophical/religious belief. From the earliest proponents to those of the 21st century, evolutionists have adhere to this for one simple underlying reason: It fits their philosophic mindset and end-goal, an explanation for life on earth WITHOUT any deference to a Supreme Being.
One evolutionist (and he is hardly alone) even stated, in no uncertain terms, that he believe in evolution (specifically a once-proported but now-dimissed tenet, spontaneous generation), because if he did not, the only option that remained was that of supernatural Creation, which had undesirable philosophic implications. Many of his colleagues felt the same way.
As for your blubbering about people not listening to contradictory views, I'm afraid that falls on a number of evolutionists, too, who among other things, got un-nerved when a certain organization opened its Creation Museum in Kentucky, some even resorting to filing frivolous lawsuits (bleating about "separation of church and state", despite the fact that PRIVATE FUNDS were used to build the place).
Or, take evolutionists like Eugenie Scott, who have gone so far as to suggest that scientists who believe in Creation be stripped of their Ph.Ds or not be given such in the first place. Left up to her, folks like Dr. Ben Carson (one of the greatest neuosurgeons on this planet, most recently celebrated during "Black History Month) wouldn't be able to practice medicine, not because he lacks competence or ability, but simply due to his belief that there is a God and that He created this world.
Then, there's the guy who fired in Massachusetts, Dr. Nathaniel Abraham, simply because he expressed his views on Creation, which didn't sit too well with his evolution-believing (and perhaps atheistic) boss.
Based on a number of your posts, YOU are every bit as "dangerous" as you purport people of faith to be. You ridicule and insult those who don't agree with your godless mindset. Who's to say that you wouldn't use force to impose your will onto others, should you and those of your ilk gain the might and the muscle to do so, having failed to make your case with all of your "logic" and "reason" (I refer you again to one Joseph Stalin)?
Religion needs to end imo. Recent trends show it is decreasing, perhaps this is the first sign?
Hardly!!! There are ebbs and flows to it. When/if the trend reverses, what's going to be your excuse for that?
