It sure is interesting to observe the non-religious folk here bash any philosophy that they don't approve... Kinda makes you wonder why?

Yeah, you're right... There's nothing but love, tolerance and acceptance in so many of the posts within
Just pointing out how ridiculous the whole theory is. Especially when the believers can't even agree among themselves who has the true god but are quite willing to kill each other and anyone else that disagrees with them.
In the end, what does it matter? You accept it or you don't
It's like disapproving of someone's favorite color that is different than your own.
Do You Call That Religion
Well the preacher in his church house
All reared back in his chair
But when you tell him about his duty
He'll say that he don't care
Chorus
Do you call that religion, oh no
Do you call that religion, no child no
Do you call that religion, oh no
I declare ain't that a shame
You claim that you've been converted
Why don't you stop telling lies
Quit drinkin' your beer and your whiskey
And live a more different life
Last Sunday while the preacher was a-preachin'
Lord, you all began to shout
When he asked for a little collection
You had your mouth poked out
Well the preacher in his church house
All reared back in his chair
But when you tell him about his duty
He'll say that he don't care

Compared to most Western European countries, this is a very low figure.
I actual fact, Christianity, Islam and Jews all worship exactly the same God. That is one point that they can agree about.

Some people can't imagine people having any morals without a religious affiliation. That says more about them than the non-religious.
I have spent hundreds of hours talking to people of many religious convictions and I have found that some quietly become their faith while others hide behind it. It doesn't matter what beliefs a person has or hasn't, there are people of varying degrees of morality in every group. Belief or non-belief has nothing to do with anything. According to the book that most believers on here, judging others is against the rules, and there is plenty of judging of non-believers going on all the time.

Me and my buddies disagree. No two people can have the same working God concept. Think of PN numbers everyones god account has a different number different specifications different spin. That path is narrow and you travel alone,you can't take the choir with you. amen
Thats my position on those who are religious. Unfortunately they try to influence public policy with their religious beliefs.
You ever have any obnoxious religious fanatics coming to your door to drop off or worse yet try to sell you their literature? Actually I'm not sure that they are all that "religious", but they have the bad trait of non minding their own business.
