Why You Should Respect Religion

Wow you people have some SERIOIUS issues with religion. I thought liberals were supposed to be the over tolerant ones. What happened to respect for other ways of life? That doesn't apply to someone who's life revolves around faith?

About me proving what I say about religion, why? I'm not debating the exact dates of events. I am debating opinions about religion based on a lifetime of experiences.

Any idiot with access to the internet can type "religion benefits" into a search engine and pull up a mountain of websites for and against his or her opinon. There is no point in wasting 10 minutes of my life copying and pasting links from google that support my viewpoint. You would not read them anyway, so lets not play that game.

Here are my opinions, feel free to disagree (just don't try and debate me with google):

Some tree hugger earlier in the thread mentioned that Bin Laden would not have hated or attacked the US if it was not for religion, and to that person I say LOLOLOLOL.

Bin Laden hates us because in his opinon, we used islamic nations as pawns against the soviet empire (aka the evil empire). He hates the fact that we meddle in middle eastern affairs. He mentions this in EVERY one of his videos.

Bin Laden uses excerpts from the Koran to back up his viewpoint. Whoodeedoo. Does that mean the Koran is what made him hate the US? Of course not you idiot. The Cold War made him hate the US.

Respected muslim scolars everywhere have been saying for years that terrorists misuse the Koran for violence. But you surrender monkeys keep blaming religious texts for the problems in the world.

Listen here liberals: I know you want to rebel against your Christian parents for making you go to church every sunday. I know it was boring and you hated it. I know the wooden pews made your little asses hurt. But how about rising above all that.

Both the bible and the koran set forth basic rules for humans to peacefully co-exist with each other. So page 1290381 of revelations or some crap has a verse that says kill people. Wow. One reference to violence in thousands of pages of "love thy neighbor, turn your cheek, do not steal, be humble and modest". You Tofu eating vegan college kids are always highlighting the bad things and refusing to acknowledge the good things with religion.

Such intolerance from the self proclaimed party of peace never ceases to amaze me.

Great, so you have no proof for your claims. Then we can just dismiss your claims as rhetoric and unfounded opinion. I can move on now. Your lame attempts at bunching people together as "from Christian parents" as "liberals" etc even leave less credence for your previous unfounded stances. Sorry, this isn't a debate, this is just a person whining.
 
One, I am not a member of associate of the democratic party, or of any neo-liberal movement. I'm libertarian, but I live in the Netherlands, not the United States of America. I did not went to church as a child, and do not have traumas concerning religion. My stance on religion is based on Christianity being a nihilistic religion (leading to moral relativism and depressed people 'without purpose') and the need of Christian followers to project their wants/moral demands on others.

Two,

Both the bible and the koran set forth basic rules for humans to peacefully co-exist with each other.

So does Mein Kampf.

So page 1290381 of revelations or some crap has a verse that says kill people.

Perhaps you should stop reading pocket editions of the bible.

Wow. One reference to violence in thousands of pages of "love thy neighbor, turn your cheek, do not steal, be humble and modest".

As if these are values that carry some good. Indoctrinated by 2000 years of christianity, and you believe that the values that are in the bible are good. Well, of course, because you were indoctrinated to believe them to be good.


You Tofu eating vegan college kids are always highlighting the bad things and refusing to acknowledge the good things with religion.

I'd eat man-flesh if I could. There are few things that I love more than putting my teeth in some nice juicy red meat which I know came from a nice cute lamb. College kids? Wie frevel. Good things within religion? A religion like Islam, where the oppression and destruction of 'freethinkers' is norm. When they come to tell your wife can't go out on the street without your escort, and has to wear a towel around her head, and is worth half of what you are worth, perhaps than you will look differently upon it.

I do not respect people with religion, by definition. I have respect for some religious people, but I have more respect for atheists than for religious by norm. Than again, Kal-El's pedantic methods do not at all appeal to me, but he has gained my respect regardless. Eventually what matters to me is how you back up your stuff, and if you need to reference to some book for that, you are using your memory, not your intelligence.

My freedom is something I will defend with my life and my death. I will defend yours with equal zeal, but that turns against you as soon as you start telling me what I have to do. No one tells me what I must to do. Puissant peasants, everywhere.

Not necessarily. Most of the responses either say yes, respect religion, or, respect people who follow a religion. Don't see any problems there.

I thought liberals were supposed to be the over tolerant ones.

OVER tolerant? Hardly. But why'd this have to become partisan when it's not?

What happened to respect for other ways of life? That doesn't apply to someone who's life revolves around faith?

Where did anyone ever say that? Because I saw the exact opposite in these posts. Just because they don't say exactly what you want them to say, doesn't mean they're automatically bashing religion and the people who follow it.


About me proving what I say about religion, why? I'm not debating the exact dates of events. I am debating opinions about religion based on a lifetime of experiences.

Which means you need to be able to back up your opinions.

Any idiot with access to the internet can type "religion benefits" into a search engine and pull up a mountain of websites for and against his or her opinon. There is no point in wasting 10 minutes of my life copying and pasting links from google that support my viewpoint. You would not read them anyway, so lets not play that game.

You underestimate these people too much. Most of us read every link provided, or at least part of it. You can't debate someone without reading the material they provide.

Here are my opinions, feel free to disagree (just don't try and debate me with google):

Some tree hugger earlier in the thread mentioned that Bin Laden would not have hated or attacked the US if it was not for religion, and to that person I say LOLOLOLOL.

Well, who knows? That's something we can or can't prove. There's no way to go back and trun Bin Laden into an atheist or agnostic.

Bin Laden hates us because in his opinon, we used islamic nations as pawns against the soviet empire (aka the evil empire). He hates the fact that we meddle in middle eastern affairs. He mentions this in EVERY one of his videos.

And your point is?

Bin Laden uses excerpts from the Koran to back up his viewpoint. Whoodeedoo. Does that mean the Koran is what made him hate the US? Of course not you idiot. The Cold War made him hate the US.

Do you know that for a fact? Nope, not unless he actually stated that. I've never bothered to watch those videos myself, and I don't know the man personally, so I really couldn't say.

Respected muslim scolars everywhere have been saying for years that terrorists misuse the Koran for violence. But you surrender monkeys keep blaming religious texts for the problems in the world.

No, they blame the people that become extremists in interpreting their religious texts.

Listen here liberals: I know you want to rebel against your Christian parents for making you go to church every sunday. I know it was boring and you hated it. I know the wooden pews made your little asses hurt. But how about rising above all that.

Listen here, buddy. Not everything is partisan. Whatever you think you know about liberals is obviously skewed. My parents were never Christian, nor are they now. I wasn't forced to go to church; I went when I felt like going. And I actually had fun when I went. But guess what? Now I'm older and I just don't find religion all that appealing to me. So how about you rise above your partisan crap and stick with what is presented here, rather than what you think you know about other people?

Both the bible and the koran set forth basic rules for humans to peacefully co-exist with each other.

Well, like HU-210 pointed out, so does Mein Kampf.

So page 1290381 of revelations or some crap has a verse that says kill people. Wow. One reference to violence in thousands of pages of "love thy neighbor, turn your cheek, do not steal, be humble and modest".

I'm not 100% certain here, but I'm PRETTY sure that there is more than one reference to killing and violence in the Bible. Sorry, but if the Bible were really all sunshine and roses, well, there'd be no way for people to interpret it in a bad way, now, would there? Well, not unless they had a really sick and twisted mindset.

You Tofu eating vegan college kids are always highlighting the bad things and refusing to acknowledge the good things with religion.

Tofu? Gross. I like real meat too much to be vegan. College kids? Well, I'll be attending college soon, but I'm not really a "kid" anymore. Last time I checked, I was classified as a full fledged adult.

No one is saying that religion is all bad. But religion as a whole does not merit respect; it is the people who follow their religions faithfully and do GOOD things in the name of their religion that garner the most respect.

Such intolerance from the self proclaimed party of peace never ceases to amaze me.

Unfortunately, I can't say what I want here because we're upstairs. Just know that it isn't a very nice thought.
 
Wow, I can't believe my eyes! Someone says that we should respect religion in one post, and then totally disrespects another ideology. What you give is what you get.

Also, I am really wondering if people know who the real enemy is these days. I see a lot of rhetoric by Americans bashing other Americans.
 
One can respect a religion, and note the benefits it may give society. Accept the good found in all faiths, and take much from the texts that make up an interpretation of the God entity. And yet.....find the individuals who follow said religion to be less than pleasant to associate with, Not all the followers...but some.
 
Even though many wars were started on it www.geocities.com/Athens/5195/victims.html, I really don't have a problem with Christianity, it's the people asserting to have "the truth", when in actuality, alls they have to offer is a mythological book full of errors without any external evidence whatsoever.

So bassically you have a problem with all Christians, because knowing the bible as truth is not limited to some individuals...and if they claim so, then they are not Christian.
An therfore you have a problem with all religions because all of them assert to 'have truth'...I am correct, yes?

Ha, it's indeed possible to believe in god without buying into the mythological stories contained in the bible.


An therfore you have a problem with all religions because all of them assert to 'have truth'...I am correct, yes?

Haha, anyone who claims that they have the "truth" or has a direct hotline to god is being dishonest. If this god fellow is perfect, why would he favor one denomination over another, and just bless 1 with the "truth?"

Wow, I wasn't aware of this. I didn't know Jefferson re-wrote the bible without all of the miracles. Can you provide a link? Thanks.

Sure. You can pick it up at Amazon here:

Book Description
The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth

Introduction by Forrest Church

In 1794, President Thomas Jefferson set out to uncover the essence of true religion from the Gospels by extracting Jesus' message of absolute love and service from the annunciation, virgin birth, and even the resurrection. Completed in 1819, this little book is the result of Jefferson's efforts.

"Gives us a preaching Jesus of distinctly human dimensions, without miracles or resurrection [A] fascinating document, telling us a great deal about a great eighteenth century mind and its world."
-Charles S. Adams, Religious Studies Review

My thoughts on the dangers of religion have little to do with politics, but more to do with my career as an educator - to lead people out of ignorance. Religion is reason in exile.

It's funny that you use the word "tree hugger" since Jesus undoubtedly favored stewardship of the earth. I'm starting to think you're a troll...

As for Bin Laden - if you've ever read or studied the Koran you would know that on almost every page it lays the groundwork for religious conflict. What we call "suicide bombers" in the west, Muslims call "sacred explosions."

The mindset with Bin Laden and friends is more akin to the mindset of Christians during the Inquisition. Remember that the inquisition was sanctioned by the Pope. The Fourth Lateran Council approved the use of torture on heretics. The use of torture was not condemed until 1816 (Pope Pius VII) A literal reading of the Old Testament requires heretics to be put to death. See the link?

I don't disagree with you that American Imperialism and the Cold War have a lot to do with this. What I'm saying is that religion, via the Koran, enforces, rather than deters, the calling of a jihad against the West.

What scholars? Where? Who?

I know you hate google - but if you would care to provide a link, I would be happy to debate. Maybe you could use Yahoo instead. :roll:

Let's take one scholar that I know of "The Persian Puzzle : The Conflict Between Iran and America" by Kenneth Pollack.

Pollack takes the position that suicidal terrorism is forbiden in the Koran . But there is only one ambigous line "Do not destroy yourselves" (4:29) that makes that point. There are pages and pages of other quotes in the Koran, which is "perfect in every syllable" that demand the call to arms from Muslim faith.

I am rising against the mass belief in fairy tales. I also don't believe in the tooth fairy and the easter bunny. Sorry to burst your bubble.

I do like Greek Mythology - but I don't take it literally. Imagine if every time Dubya spoke of God, he used the word Zeus, or Apollo. That's how it sounds to me.

I think your ad hominem attacks speak to your general illiteracy and ignorance on the subject. But...

Give me some examples of peaceful co-existence in the Koran. I could easily list two pages of the opposite that I have right in front of me.

As for the Bible- it's now being used to:
1. promote discrimination against gay people
2. promote the teaching of creationism in schools
3. promote hatred of jews (read John 8:41-45)
4. promote capital punishment

As for quotes in the Bible that go against peaceful coexistance, I'm not just talking about one quote in the book of revalations.

Leviticus 24:16 tells us that taking the lord's name in vain is punishable by death
Exodus 31:15 tells us that the punishment for working on the sabbath is death.
Curse your mother or father? You guessed it!Death Exodus 21:17
Commit adultery? Now you're getting it! Death Leviticus 20:10

As I stated before 35% of Americans believe the Bible is the literal word of god. Can you see the potential for problems with that?

FreeThinker said:

First - the Dem's aren't the party of peace.

A Dem president was in charge when the US stopped Germany, Italy and Japan in WW2 (FDR). Incidentally all four of FDR's sons enrolled in the military during WW2.

Second, A Dem president was in charge when the US stopped Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria in WW1
(Woodrow Wilson)

Most of us liberals just don't believe that preemptive wars against countries that did not attack us is the best use of our soldier's lives and our countries resources to fight the war against terror. :2wave:

1. It actually doesnt promote it. It doesnt say anything about hating them, or restricting them or doing hate crimes against them. That is the mis-interpretation of it.
It says homosexuality is an immoral act, and Jesus teachers to hate the sin not the sinner...but people don't do that, and that is what brings on discrimination. Not the bible saying to.

2.As if thats the most pressing issue in the world...

3. That excerpt does not promote discrimination of Jews...and this is an example of how people mis-interpret it. Jesus came to deliever the Jews and Gentiles, and it was the Jews who choose not to believe. No where does it say that we should hate Jews because they didn't believe he was the Messiah. Thats what people take it as, thats not what it says.

4. This is for this number and for the Leviticus chapters you mentiond. It does not literaly mean God will kill you if you don't follow his rules.
Sin leads to death, in physical and spiritual.
When you give your life to Christ and have a relationship with God, you are no longer a slave to sin anymore, and you will have eternal life.
Romans 6:23- For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Rewind 200 years. You are a slave in America. You were born into bondage. Every day is spent working until your hands bleed for nothing more than food and water. You are less than a human being. When a man wants to, he can beat you. You are bred like an animal. Your children will be sold when they are old enough to work. You will never see your son after his 6th birthday.

So why live at all? Where is the hope?

Enter faith.

Respect religion.

Great example! Christian ministers used the Bible and religion to justify slavery in the U.S just as religion has been a partner in the oppression of the poor throughout human history! That's why people's revolutions always view organized religion as the enemy of the poor and working class! "Don't worry about starving children and being mistreated by the wealthy class, for your reward is in the next life!" Organized religon is the opiate of the masses! You can respect religion and faith, I'll respect fact and real improvement in the average man's life! Most Christians I know want to do some small act of giving to feel self righteous while they use the majority of the world's resources and guard the border so they poor can't sneak in and share our wealth! If there is a Christ, he wouldn't like most Christians!

You respect religion!

The bible didn't originally say anything about homosexuality. The term didn't exist when any of it was written. The bible's been mistranslated, and twisted by men throughout the centuries to express the whims of their bigotry. I've done the arsenokoites/malekoites debates already on the board to buttress these claims.

Wow....I had no Idea you were the one who decided for all of Humanity who got to be a Christian....Guess I must have misunderstood this:

MATTHEW 7:1-5:

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull the mote out of thine eye; and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast the mote out of thy brother's eye."


But then...I'm not a Christian so.....I'm going to your version of hell anyway, which is fine as long as you wont be there.

Mr. Smith I'm sorry the book report you asked for didn't have a big enough bibliography. I'll make sure to give page numbers, dates, authors, location of publishing, religious background of author, and total transcriptions of everything that person has ever said from birth.

Hey mr. moderator sir: I think you forgot something. This is a debate forum where people give their opinions. Mine happens to be that you are an idiot. Feel free to retort that with your own opinion.

It is distressing that the humor of my blanket statements about liberals being angry at their religious parents fell on deaf ears. You are so blinded by your hatred of faith that humor evades you.

Ever watched South Park? Did you laugh? I somehow doubt that you could have appreciated jokes about stereotypes, much less my post.

A better thing would have been to respond with something about "bible thumper" or "is your dad still having fun as an african missionary". Those would have been humorous responses.

Instead you take everything literally, choosing not to see humor in a debate.

Don't take yourself so seriously. This is a forum on the internet, not the podium on election night.

You idiots would have me prove that the world is round with references and quotes from scientists and scholars, and if I didn't you would refuse to respond to my statement.

It's very easy to sit back in a debate and demand mountains of information, information about facts you KNOW to be true. What a half assed cop out.

As I'm sure all the moderators can see, I'm sitting on a dialup connection right now. The only time I ever visit this site is when I am bored at work. The connection is slow as hell and it takes ages to load webpages, especially this one with all the ad banners.

Debate me by saying what you think, not using google to formulate an opinion.

Make your own words and stop stealing others.

Yes, I AM really good at the Internet, because I spend a large part of my day here. Sometimes, periods are used to emphasize a pause between statements that a semicolon cannot achieve. Please don't try to lecture me about proper sentence structure; I know more about that than most people, but I prefer to type like most others would (i.e. "layman's typing", if you will), so as to better convey my point and not seem uppity and rude.
