RVTPilot Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 While I can see where religions would recruit (the more radical, the more actively they do), but I don't get where atheists would. "Hey! Come believe in...nothing!" I think like a lot of folks my age that grew up being forcefed Sunday mornings at church, I have found that while I do have a certain level of faith and spirituality, the hypocracy and elitist attitude of organized religion has soured me on that "celebration of faith" they all talk about. Either some bullshit dogma that defines how you are to have your relationship with God, or how your faith is directly proportionate to your tithings. And for the other side of the pendulum, hey if you don't believe in that stuff, good for you. But don't tell someone who uses that faith to keep on the sunny side of life they're an idiot. If you want to live carefree and they aren't pushing their agenda on you, extend the same courtesy. That's the problem anymore. It's not that the religious zealots are the only ones pushing, it's the ones who have faith in or believe in nothing that push just as hard. It's isn't what their agenda is, but simply that they have one, and YOU need to align with it. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh.AMEN BROTHA! it's like I've said a hundred million times, your faith (or beliefs) are yours and yours alone, they are personal. essentialy who you are. and to have someone tell you that you're wrong or misdirected is personally repugnant. Share your beliefs, don't take them out and wield them like a ball bat on people... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 idk, bc i think i'm still undecided. I don't see how an atheist would ever look at that quote and say "eh, good point, i believe!" and I don't see how someone with faith in religion would change either.

MadMax33 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I was born an atheist and that's how I will die. There was a brief period when I was a believer of sorts, but I was never one to talk about it nor did I think it was very important at the time. Hey, the Middle East is one of the most religious places on Earth, and look at all of the love that goes around. There is nothing wrong with a little advertisement in rational thought. Some people believe that The Rapture is near so they want to tell everyone who drives behind them, with those goofy bumper stickers that say, "In case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned." Sorry, but if I can't take my motorcycle with me to the after-life, I don't even want to bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
