You forgot CG, these are usually black people, and as CSS has said before, they are barely above animals and not god's chosen race. Typing that made me feel dirty.
If I have accidentally said something witty, smart, or correct, it is purely by mistake and I apologize for it.
Yeah, I forgot all about that. Stupid me.

Religion is a necessity, those without religion we are incomplete. Religion is a vital core component of the human species. In order for society to develop, maintain and build integrity, and for humans to develop emotionally and technologically we must have spirituality. However, those hellbent on domination and control will exploit religion to where we will be forced into bondage and arrested development. Those who wish to destroy religion want the same thing, arrested development and bondage. The only development we will get without religion is the development of new technologies to entrap us into iron grip bondage. You can go on and on about pedophiles and stonings, but that is not spirituality, that is donation by corrupt individuals in positions of power. Religion is being attacked by the globalists, especially Christianity. In a world without religion the state is god, and evil cults thrive.

The problem isn't differentiating between good and evil. The problem is oversimplifying and redefining them. There's no such thing as ABSOLUTE good or ABSOLUTE evil. Everything is a shade of gray, some darker and some lighter.
This is exactly the type of flawed mindset I am talking about. The inability to differentiate between good and evil. Again, without a spiritual awaking, you cannot differentiate between good and evil.
Ian Shlasko wrote:
Well, you might consider it evil, but what if someone is pointing an assault rifle at a bunch of innocents, and you put a bullet in his head? Is that still evil?
Why was the person pointing the gun? What did the sniper know about the person and the people that person was pointing the gun at? Absolute full details are required to make proper judgment.
Ian Shlasko wrote:
Now, you think only religious people can figure out where things lie on that scale?
People claim to be religious because they go to some church or read a bible. That doesn't mean the person is spiritually awakened. A strong sense of morality and a strong connection with the creator and the greater universe might mean you are spiritually awakened. It is a channel of consciousness that cannot be described with words, it can only be experienced. You will never understand what it means to be spiritually awakened and that is something to be pittied.
Ian Shlasko wrote:
How about atheists? Well, sure there are some immoral people among us, just like every other group, but being atheist doesn't make one incapable of recognizing "good" and "bad."
Again, you don't have to belong to any particular group or read some particular texts to be spiritually awakened.

Thus in a world of 'spiritually awakened' atheists (i.e., without religion), the state need not be god. Do I see an inconsistency with the subject line?

Well, I do tend to agree that the link is stupid, and that Islam in particular flies in the face of everything that God is about ( free will for a start ).

The Catholic church needs to get with it too, especially with crap like the pedophile priests, and excommunicating people who disagree with them.
The pedo priests are perhaps an example of how totally wrong the Catholic church is, not because they condone it, but because they protect their power structure before they protect their flock. The basic issue you have is that you're not talking about God, or religion, you're talking about humans who are doing stupid or wrong things. None of these people prove there is no God by their own stupidity.

Hell, no. Most of them are stupid. Certainly, most of them would be found to claim that a non Christian must have no moral compass, which is BS. The point is entirely that the athiests attempt to take the high moral ground, and it is far from where they are. On both sides of the equation are human beings acting irrationally to defend their view of the world.

Here's a thought. If heaven exists ( and it kind of doesn't, but that's another story ), or if God exists, then they exist regardless of what any person may believe.

I've considered that. The question is not whether or not they exist, but whether believing that they exist or not is justifiable.

Then why did you take such disproportionate enjoyment in atheists doing it?

Because the athiests claim they take the high moral ground, and they are no better, and just as irrational. It's a question of claiming to be the voice of reason, and utterly failing to be.

Not 'just as irrational'. Although I personally don't think that religious belief is a mental illness, believing in untestable, undetectable entities permeating all of the Universe and watching you and manipulating your life, is more consistent with psychosis than not believing so.

Well, I can see that point of view. It's the smugness, the complete misapplication of Occam's Razor in ways that make no sense, the sense of vitriol and highmindedness that I find frustrating. I'm not necessarily meaning you, or even all athiests, I'm saying that those qualities are as prevelent in the athiest side of the debate, as irrational stupidity can be on the religious side. I mean, I used to frequent a newsgroup called aus.religion.christian. I went back after years, and who had been there the whole time I had been gone, and was still there ? A person who joined the Christian news group so he could insult every Christian and tell them all how wise he was for knowing there was no God. Which makes as much sense as me spending my life on a Ford newsgroup, so I could spend all my time telling those people that Holdens are better, when I could spend my time talking to fellow Holden lovers, or even driving my car, or smelling flowers or something. Extreme athiesm is a religion, not in the sense of beleving in a god ( science is not a God, that's stupid, although it is true that most people use science as a god today, by simply not understanding but blindly accepting science as filtered through the news media ). It's so in the sense that it has it's zealots, and that they are people who defend their view at all costs, cannot tell when they are being irrational and/or obtuse, and will not listen to any sort of logic or reason. In this sense, I mean more that I've had athiests tell me what I believe, and no matter how I tell them I don't believe what they claim, they keep telling me I must do, then cutting down the view I don't even hold. Or people who have never read the bible, but think because they can take a couple of OT verses out of all context and then attack them on that basis, and feel like they've put the God question to rest, when all they have done is show their ignorance.

Well, those are relevant topics. It is considered immoral to kill a baby. The majority of homosexuals are not born, they make the choice to be sexually deviant. If you look at the facts most homosexuals tend to have STDs, support corrupt government. This is immoral. A real homosexual is born with hormonal imbalances that make the body feel as if it is of the opposite sex, and therfore naturally that person becomes attracted to what the body and mind feels is the opposite sex when in fact it is the same sex. This is not immoral.

Baby, yes, Fetus, not so much. Why? Fairly simple really, otherwise stillbirths would cause even more emotional and psychological damage than they already do. A fairly typical adaptation by humans to an unfortunate situation. You consider it immoral to remove a fetus, but you are never going to have one in you in the first place. As such, I fail to see why you get a say in it. That said, I fail to see why anyone except the person who has to deal with the thing gets a say in it.

And you have evidence of any of this how? From what I remember the only loosely correct point is a higher rate of STDs, but given the remarkable lack of transmission of most of those in lesbians and the fact that not every gay man is a complete idiot(may still be a drama queen, but not an idiot) I have a remarkably hard time believing 'most' homosexuals have STDs. And really, if you're attacking homosexuals over sexual deviancy, I'd like to talk to the church about this glorification of S&M they're doing with the cross. The passion of the Christ was a fucking snuff film. But, here's the issue, not everyone is born into the binary system you have arranged of moral vs immoral, there are people with a combination of the differences to 'normal' sexuality who may be attracted to either. Would they count as choosing to be homosexual, or are we ignoring them for piety's sake?
