I dunno. Actually, no one does. No one knows if God does or doesn't exist, so why are people on both sides of the argument so damn sure of themselves?

If I were you, at least do a trigger warning and a spoiler.

I don't care what people believe in. All I want is for them to keep it to themselves. That means it doesn't leak out of your personal space and get spattered on some uninterested and unsuspecting person that doesn't share your views.
[MENTION=18694]The Wailing Specter[/MENTION] I'm honestly freaked out now. Why did you have to post that meme?
This is fine in a religion like Christianity which practises the separation of Church and State under a secular Constitution, but it doesn't work for Islam which doesn't have a separation of Mosque and State, and which practises Jihad and Sharia Law.

This is awful. I am already in a bad place so I am pretty sensitive rn but like...I don't know I can't think because of this. Like, would world be a better place without religion (no offense)? I mean if you feed your worst fears into one being as in "god" (I don't have an opinion on whether there is one or no) and expect religion to guide your entire life...that's a waste of life. Like, I shudder to think what it would take to heal from something like that.
As disturbing as it is (and as wary as I am of xNFPs who go to such extreme measures to prove a point) I think the people who listen to trigger warnings are the people who need to see those images the most. Reality sucks sometimes, but I think if people can't handle it, they shouldn't be spouting their opinions everywhere on the internet and calling others hateful or bigoted for acknowledging facts that they chose to ignore *cough cough tumblr*
Typh0n, I have a question for you, mon.
Is it bad, if I looked at that picture and laughed? But what if I was listening to Eminem when I looked at the picture, would that be bad? Sorry, I just have to clear things up. Until then I just walk around with a moralistic strut because I'M OUT OF MY MIIIIIND
Laughing at that would probably be messed up, but not "bad" in any objective way, since I don't believe "good" and "bad" are objective, listening to Eminem, no, thats fine I guess.
Though I'm not sure by what human impulse someone could laugh at that.

Well, yes, in most cases religion does more harm than good. Whatever purpose they once served is no longer relevant and people, especially those who subscribe to Abrahamic Religion, will kill and maim to please their "almighty god".
I'll modify the claim to literalists/fundamentalists, but otherwise, yes, people strongly holding to untrue beliefs is almost never good.Most cases? What does this mean? If most cases is true then the majority of religious people do more harm than good since religion, as an idea, doesn't 'do' anything- only people 'do' things. If your claim of 'most cases' is true then you're basically saying the majority of religious people do more harm than good. Are you really going to stick with that?

So would you make the claim that most religious people are fundies?
No. I'll bite the bullet on this one.
