Okay, no more headaches for me also, at least not caused by alcohol, I can have fun without it nowadays.
Good post by the way.

Originally posted by 6meets9 I'm just wondering because I've seen these kinds of things first hand for a while now and no one seems to come to their aid at which point I feel need to step in and resolve the situation. For example there's this girl at work who wears the burka/scarf(?) and gets treated very poorly by some people who I thought were bright and level-headed and don't have such a low level mindset. The same thing happens with the jews. Upon knowing that one's jewish/paki, the jokes start and can get very inappropriate very soon not to mention how they treat the gay community which is equally worse. Now this is a very small group of people at work like 3-4 but I was shocked to hear their opinions on minorities. What is your opinion?

I don't understand it either. I am an atheist and I respect but don't agree with the various religions. I do encounter more and more people who see religion as something bad and wrong ... That just makes atheism a religion like all others. For me, atheism is to get wiser. I don't hate people because they're not atheists but try to understand them

you shouldn't hate people because they are atheist or religulous...you should hate them because they are fucking people.

I don't hate religion either, but the problem is that the religious want special status in society that can not be criticized. This special status means I am forced to pay salary for priests (which is not a part of church tax) whereas I would be more than willing to pay for the conservation of church buildings (which is a part of church tax).
We also see this special status in form of Jews and Muslims arguing that child abuse in form of circumcision is sanctuary because it is an essential part of their religion.

In addition, a number of religious agendas are imposing their own unscientific notions about the world we live in, and both Christian and Muslim fundamentalists have requirements to replace the theory of evolution with their religious beliefs.

There are a number reasons for conflict between atheists and believers, and there are undoubtedly some atheists who directly hate religion. Personally I think as long as religion is what it is for the most part here in Denmark, then religion and atheism can easily live together.

This is one of the worst threads I've looked at in a very long time.

I know all about being a fuckin minority. Born in another country , people always mistake me for being of Hispanic descent because of my facial features and skin tone. But you know what, if you're really bothered by it, than you're a weak individual. Who gives a fuck about our differences,religious or non-religious views. Keep those to yourself and stop bitchin if your next door neighbor has symbolic and iconic statues on his yard.

EQUALLY worse? Please elaborate.
