if they believe that, they're even dumber than I thought.
But just in general.. 92% religious... that's insane :eyes: |
Wasn't there a poll that said 62% of Americans believe religion should be more of a part for government decision? I think it was a while back, and isn't Dubya known for saying, something like, "God picked me to run the country."? |

I know, but so is saying that religion would make better politicians. Which seems like many Americans are starting to believe. Just because things are getting rough doesn't mean you have to give up, and start believing in a higher being. To live is to suffer and for the ones who give up and start beliving in a God means they are afraid of reality. At least the majority of them are. |

But all these years of civilization, and when I hear stats that almost 90 percent of the world believes in God or a supperior bein..then it makes me think, that you might be the stupid one here. |
well thats a beautiful argument. next time i need to make up my mind about something else, im definitely gonna hold a popular vote.
just because people have been historically irrational and superstitious doesnt mean we all suffer from the same affliction. |

| Listen, Im not for beliving in God, or not believing, I could care less, but saying that there is no god is just as stupid as saying there is one. Im not a religious person, but I dont mind people having thier own religious beliefs. From all I know is that America has done no harm with thier religious beliefs. Yes, I know im gonna get bashed by "Bush said Jesus told him to go to Iraq" crap. |

Organized religion is not inheirantly dangerous. What's dangerous is persons who understand or ascribe to only a portion of a belief system (usually the portion that best fits with there pre-existing beliefs or attitudes) and therefore feels justified in their beliefs/actions as they have been "commanded by god" while ignoring other (usually moderating) tennents of the religion. |

That is about the most ignorant and arrogant statement I've read on these boards in a long time. Faith has nothing to do with intelligence. In many cases faith is a product of one's socialization, in others it is a choice.
I defy you to show me some corrolation between faith and cognative function. |

I dont belive in god, but i belive that the human race needs religion. Dew to the fact that the % of people cant handle the fact that there is no real reason for us to be hear. There is no bigger pitcher.
Relgion gives people how are lost in there lives a meaning and a reason to be alive.
When america was attacked, it was terrist`s, When america attacked, it was freedom fighting.
One relgion belives the US is gready and is destroying the world, so they attack it and also belives that some people needs to be put in they place and do as they told becoue there dont know better, and in a way they right.
One rigion belives that everone has a right to do what there want to do with relising the affects on others, and in a way there are right too.
Bushs attack iraq becoue he did not belive in the way that the contry was ran.
US was attacked becoues they did not belive in the way the US was ran.
They as bad as each other.
Both sides brain was there civs into beliveing that there way is right. |
