Dude, the sheer existence of cancer renders your argument as irrelevant.


It is only transforming, not changing.

Unless your definition of "changing" is going to something that is not classified as DNA (and fucking transmutation at that), it is changing.

So, define 'changing' would you? Or are you going to not define it like a fucking coward, and hide behind the walls of word obscurity? Because any good philosopher defines his fucking terms before he tries to debate.

You're not going to save face by doing that, contrary to what you may believe. You've been proven wrong in literally EVERY way. Just fucking admit it, and stop being intellectually dishonest.

First of all, you can't ban belief, you can only ban practice.
Second, no one has the right to harm another person. You can ban the practice of hurting a person for religion because it violates a bigger right.
But you can't ban religions that are not causing harm to people on a base level. And no, that doesn't mean you can ban a religion because it has fringe members or groups that do shitty things.

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a sensible realistic egalitarian with several strong convictions.

Respecting Religion =/= Participating in Religion

Also, there are no longer any religions apart from extremely obscure cults, that require human sacrifices.

Sir, it is a religion and you disrespected it. Not my fault if you are uneducated heathen scum.

Its common curtesy to try to not disrespect religion through mockery, even if you are argueing against it. It is also common curtesy not to disrespect atheism through mockery, even if you are argueing against it.

If you choose to mock us for believing, despite not hurting anyone for it, then so be it. But just don't expect people to enjoy your company if you say things like that, even to make a point.

Sure, understandable. But there are levels of respect, imo. You have to have at least enough respect not to violently attack anyone who has that religion for the sole reason that they have that religion. So, what's your level?

Mock atheism then, I don't fucking care.

Oh, look at the silly man who doesn't believe in a supernatural deity. Guess what? That's it. That's all you have. Because that's all that atheism is. There is no code, there is no guideline, there is nothing else. I don't believe in atheism. It's merely a result.

Don't bullshit me with this respect thing. I'm not mocking you for believing. I'm mocking you for asking for respect simply because you believe. Respect doesn't work that way.

I see no reason to ban it, though it should not be placed on the pedestal it currently occupies. That's it. Respect is something that is earned, not given de facto. And religion has yet to earn my respect as an idea.

Because if this god bloke exists then while he might love use very much he's only concerned if we have experience in life rather than we not suffering through it. he's saving that non-suffering part once life is over (If you're good enough to him of course) . :meh: both sides are free to call BS on this theory as much as you like.
