Yes, but it takes something create extreme views, fear of a god based on scriptures you have read or had interpreted by preachers for you can lead to extremism, craving political power can lead to extremism as can many things, But a simple disbelief in god can't.

It's pretty obvious to me that extremism implies intolerance and its also apparent to me that either a religious person or an anti religious person is capable of it in fairly equal measure

Offcourse, but all I am saying its not the atheism that causes it, you don't even have to be atheist to be antitheist, you can be a deist such as yourself and still want to get rid of organised religion.


for example, pretty much all my life I have been an atheist, but it wasn't until later in life that took on some anti religion opinions, it wasn't because of my atheism, it was because I saw the divisions religion makes in society and how it pulled us into the longest war in our history, looking deeper I saw negative effects of religion everywhere, these negative effects are why I am against religion.

Dawkins and his blind faith followers are reminiscent of school children when they discover they have a fundamental argumentative streak ... they like the sound of their own voice and want everyone to know it. He's that loud girl with tight pigtails who tries to organise the playground into a tessellated canvas of child activities.

Dawkins can't grasp the concept that the world is what it is because of what it is and he does not possess a third eye nor crystal ball to back his assumpton that we will all be better off without skyfairies.

Gets his mooche on telly though, which I suspect is his main aim in life; for fame and wealth
 

Yea me too. Just about to launch my life's work and there are signs of world war 3 starting. Some people only think of themselves.

Yea Western Civilisation is pretty good and getting better - just got a logistic and distribution problem.
 
Interesting interview on the Neo-Con and the religion of modern economic theories.

Killed more people and ruin more lives than probably all other heavenly religion combined.

Is this the future? Non religious organisations with belief systems, now we have this one (Genesis II Church) along with the scientologists. Does this organisation beling in the Religion is Crazy thread or do we need to start a non-religious is crazy and put in this organisation?

We are unique because we were formed to serve mankind. We are non-religious in nature because we serve mankind, as opposed to worshiping a deity. Many people believe that the word, “Church” can only be associated with Christians. This is the secular definition the world has given it since the first century. However, in reality the word “church” came from the Greek word, “ekklesia”, which means, “a called out assembly” or “an assembly called out for a specific purpose.”

Church = Ekklesia, it's so obvious when you think about it.


I'm guessing they are drawing a long straw with "ecclesiastical = church". Solomon might have something to say about that word
 

Saudi Arabia is a joke of a country. Their version of Islam (wahhabism) is extreme. They are insecure.


What a bunch of idiots. Can't wait for battery technology to get off the ground, oil price to drop like a lead anchor (or stay low), so we can leave these barbaric nutters back where they belong - 1000 B.C.

I was agreeing with you there until the "...can't wait for battery..." so we can get away from them bit. Well, I do agree with that too but yea, it's funny.

Kinda like a guy going to a ***** house, getting on with his business but swearing at the prostitute while he's doing it. Dam *****, screwing every man that comes by; dirty filthy thing... oh yea... dam it, can't wait until I get married... scratch that, marriage mean no sex anyway... can't wait until I hit the jackpot then won't have to come here anymore.

Well, in my real world experience, there has been no difference in sex life before/after marriage. Others may disagree....

I think there is confusion on where the line between peoples rights to practice their religion and other peoples rights to be free of religion.

Every one in Australia has the right to have and practice a religion, but everyone also has the right to be free of religion.

So people can go to church send their children to Sunday school, pray , read their texts etc etc. this is their right.

they can not however, in their position as a school teacher lead their class in prayor, as this is an infringement on the students rights to be free of religion.

Religious students can carryout whatever private observance they need to, but the other students should not be forced to do this.

there is plenty of time for the religious students to get religious teachings at home, at church etc

So it is not a contradiction for a liberal on one hand to resist Christian teachings in schools, while also defending an Islamic groups right to build a mosque or where a hijab.
 

So what do you say about parents who send their children to religious schools knowing that their children will be subject to religious teachings ?

If freedom from religion should be a right, shouldn't that apply to children as well ?

Do we ban all religious schools (personally I would not object to this), but I doubt if that would get past the Constitution in regards to freedom of religion.
