Let people use whatever they wanna use. In fact, it's about time religion goes away from politics, or even better, from everywhere. It's an old, rotten tradition that has no place in modern society. People get offended over faith too much, almost like it's relevant. It is really not. Let religion rest in peace and give way to progress.

I like you.

Nah. Pleading to "it's current year" isn't going to change the fact that people need faith. Nothing done against faith in the name of "progress" has ever kept people from seeking religion.

[Corporoat]

So, in short, it's time to take the final leap and make "F in chat for ____" the official secular condolence for the dead. /s

Let's not also forget that morality is subjective and no specific correct code of conduct can be applied, no matter who from.

That being said, people should be able to practise whatever they want, but having it on a high place in society is a no-no.

That's a little excessive. People should stop being offended by things like this, but faith should stay.

It's almost as if getting so offended at faith is in the same vein as what they're complaining about.

[Panslav]

Huh? I am complaining about religion being hindrance to the current society and its progress, and that secularism should take its place. So, by your logic, secularism can somehow hinder the progress of our society?

Clear up your point, please.

My point is that you getting so offended at religion for being divisive is in itself divisive.

You're doing the same thing you're complaining about.

That's up to the culture, not the government.

One way or another, if enough people hold a certain value, that value is going to end up in a high place.

There's nothing you can do about it.

With enough education, one hopes we might.

So, political indoctrination.

That's real dystopian of you. As well as making a farce of what education should be.

Insofar as a robust scientific education is indoctrination.
I've little problem with state intervention that favor my position.

I'm also for science in education.

I'm for cultivating children that can think for themselves rather than being politically programmed.

That shouldn't be the purpose of education.

Education serves to better society, broadly. Seems apt depending on your position.

You're strawmanning me? I never said a thing about religion being divisive. I mean it is, but it's of less concern than the fact that religion is a giant old tumor on the society that has long ceased to be benign.

[Ethel mermania]

Kids


The thread is about offending jews, or not offending jews as the case may be.

If you want to talk religion good or evil start a thread for that.

[Satuga]

I think RIP is more of a respect thing than a religious thing. Kinda like saying bless you when someone sneezes, sure there might be atheist who've had this said to them, but should they be taking it as a threat on their belief or a simple kind gesture?

Well it's just usually said as a simple kind gesture. Although...

"So...err...why did you start the crusades?"

"Well..."

It's really odd what some people will take offense over.

Nah. Pleading to "it's current year" isn't going to change the fact that people need faith. Nothing done against faith in the name of "progress" has ever kept people from seeking religion.

I mean most people in Sweden are pretty non religious and they seem alright. I don't really need religion, I just need a reason to exist and believe me, there's plenty without needing to evoke God

That's fine. I don't care what you are.

[Bear Stearns]

Someone who gets offended over rest in peace probably has a lot bigger problems.
