Have you used it? Do you use it often?

If you have, what experience(s) did you have? I mean, what were the people like to you in their responses? What did you post about, etc?

Or if you haven't, why not?

I've used it somewhat myself, and I've found the people to be quite unwelcoming to say the least. So many people criticising, ridiculing, belittling, etc... Writing what they seem to feel are brilliantly witty comments, usually snarky and offensive.
They ridiculed my attempts at humour in a very condescending way, when theirs seems to consist of crude and simple sex jokes and single emoticon or "---plz" posts...
The brevity is annoying too. Most posts are a sentence or less, and writing a lot is criticised...
And I could go on.

Anyway, I don't much care for the crowd that I've come across the multiple times I've been in the forums, as for the most part they seem to consist of a clique of self-righteous, arrogant regulars who gang up and bully newcomers while slapping eachothers' arses and diverting off into their own irrelevant and inane monosyllabic dialogues, so I'm wondering if it's just ME or if other people have had similar distasteful experiences...

"Almost all religious people were raised in religious families, and were raised to be religious. I assume you are the same? Have you been taught from an early age that God is real and that he loves you and so on?"

Not really...I haven't gone to church until my early teens.

"Anything that questions this is essentially questioning all that you've ever known to be true... A massive fear of the unknown would overcome the person, I imagine; they wouldn't want to accept that they've been "living a lie". It's just too hard to bear, so they deny it.
They've also been taught to deny it all their lives, too..."

I imagine the person would develop depression as well and may even attempt suicide.

I'd probably be scared of the unknown too if I were forced to give up my religion, because I feel that I belong and have friends with it. Of course, I wouldn't be friends with people who want to harm others.

"Anyway, atheists wouldn't be passionate about their opinion to want to *kill* people who disagree with them. It's the religious people, knowing that they'll get a good place in the afterlife and therefore needn't fear death, and knowing that they're acting upon their god's orders, who kill people...
That's why I'd love to see religion done away with. Ignorant people wouldn't kill other ignorant people for ridiculous beliefs anymore..."

About that...I kinda feared that if the more vocal and extreme Atheists DID do away with religion, they'd take over the world's governments and punish anyone who still believes in religion(even the good ones) by placing them in a mental institution and lobotomizing them or executing them 1984-style to stop the spread of ANY remaining beliefs. Then they might destroy the part of the Constitution where it says freedom of religion. We might not even be allowed to be AGNOSTIC, for Pete's sake!!!

And then if the concepts of religion and God are gone PERIOD, then the world would be forced to lose its hopefulness and anything positive(since some of that comes from religion(aka Jesus Christ, Holy Trinity, the Nativity, etc.) and become bleak and pessimistic(people getting killed, bad economy, high gas prices, teen pregnancy, abusive parents, the media feeding people's brains with THEIR ideals of what is beautiful and trendy, corrupt governments, corporate greed, pollution, animals becoming endangered or EXTINCT BECAUSE of said pollution, "when you die, all you do is rot in the ground and become worm food", etc.).

They might outlaw and BAN Veggietales and stuff like that too.

"Also, if you don't believe every word of the Bible, and instead pick and choose what to believe and follow and what not to, like so many modern Christians do, then why bother following it in any sense at all? Obviously by picking and choosing, you're going by your own decisions and morals rather than God's."

I take the Bible as a GUIDE, not word-for-word. Sure, it can also be taken as a book of stories, but some of those stories have morals in it that can lead people to a better life. Also, there is symbolism in the Bible, especially in Revelations.

"God tells you to kill homosexuals, so you should, because he ALSO tells you not to disobey any of the laws written in the Bible or make up your own mind about what's right and wrong..."

According to some theologists, there are only a few lines saying ANYTHING about homosexuals. One being "No man shall sleep with another man. It is detestable." Centuries later, we would find that it's not exactly abomination, but it's because it's physically impossible to conceive CHILDREN in a homosexual relationship.

That doesn't mean we should kill them. Except to the WBC and the Phelps family. They think US soldiers and the late Princess Diana are just as bad as homosexuals.

"Why can't people just be morally good people without relying on a holy book *at all*?"

Because sadly, the majority of humans on the planets are not logical beings who only use their brains to figure out what is "right" and "wrong". I, for one, certainly am NOT one for trial and error either.

You may say, "Well, that's why you have parents to teach you right from wrong."

Well, what if a child's parents are neglectful parents or parents who are drug addicts or what if they were abandoned and were never guided by their parents in the first place? What about the parents who abuse or rape their own kids? Or even torture or KILL their kids. I've watched a few stories where parents end up torturing or killing their kids and going to jail for it.

If you perceive God as "imaginary", then, in a world full of negativity for the time being, I'd rather ESCAPE from reality.

(Note: These are my opinions and how I feel about this whole situation. I just don't want you guys to fight and bicker.)

Actually, I was only referring to the extremists indirectly, if at all.
When I wrote that, I was thinking mainly of the Christian people that I've talked to on deviantART and other websites, and there have been quite a few of those!
Most don't seem to even understand their beliefs, and don't *want* to debate them. They instead ask me to "respect their beliefs" and to leave them alone. This is very bad, I think, because it shows that they're just blindly believing what they've been taught, and running away from anything that might challenge these fragile beliefs, and in doing so they keep a closed mind and remain ignorant.
The only religious person I can remember talking to who really, really understood her beliefs was ~ChocoboDragon, apparently... She was able to give long, long detailed arguments for why she believed what she did, instead of just running away.
I don't agree with her beliefs still, but at least some things that she mentioned made me think...

I can argue logically why God, as portrayed in the Bible, or by the modern church, cannot exist, and I start debates to see if any Christians can argue convincingly why he might be. Most can't, or don't try.

Almost all religious people were raised in religious families, and were raised to be religious. I assume you are the same? Have you been taught from an early age that God is real and that he loves you and so on?
Anything that questions this is essentially questioning all that you've ever known to be true... A massive fear of the unknown would overcome the person, I imagine; they wouldn't want to accept that they've been "living a lie". It's just too hard to bear, so they deny it.
They've also been taught to deny it all their lives, too...

Atheists tend to be able to clearly see that God is an idea rather than a being, and that religion is used to control people and give them false hope and so on. It's just so *obvious* to them because they see it from the outside rather than the inside... y'know?
In the same way that Christians can see that Hindus are obviously wrong, I suppose.

Anyway, atheists wouldn't be passionate about their opinion to want to *kill* people who disagree with them. It's the religious people, knowing that they'll get a good place in the afterlife and therefore needn't fear death, and knowing that they're acting upon their god's orders, who kill people...
That's why I'd love to see religion done away with. Ignorant people wouldn't kill other ignorant people for ridiculous beliefs anymore...
(If ever there was a war between atheists and religious people, the religious ones would start it.)

Also, if you don't believe every word of the Bible, and instead pick and choose what to believe and follow and what not to, like so many modern Christians do, then why bother following it in any sense at all? Obviously by picking and choosing, you're going by your own decisions and morals rather than God's.
God tells you to kill homosexuals, so you should, because he ALSO tells you not to disobey any of the laws written in the Bible or make up your own mind about what's right and wrong...
Why can't people just be morally good people without relying on a holy book *at all*?

"Letting people believe whatever they please is generally not a great idea, if what they believe is detrimental to others or themselves."

OK, maybe I should have phrased that better. I meant that they should believe what they believe AS LONG AS no one is harmed.

"Would it be alright to just let someone *believe* that they were the servant of some dark god and that it was their mission to kill hundreds of people to satisfy it? Or would you try to convince them that their beliefs were wrong?"

More than likely, that might be classified as a CULT rather than a religion.

"And is it right to let someone believe that they can't do a certain potentially pleasurable activity because either they'd die or their God would punish them or something? Wouldn't it be best to try to convince them that "no, it's all right, those beliefs are not founded in any fact, you'll be fine!" or something, for their own good?"

OK, I'm a Christian, but some Christians don't take the Bible word for word.

"Holding religious beliefs superficially seems to make some people into better people, some say, but in the long run, they just make more and more Christians (by surely teaching their children to believe the same beliefs), and end up being ignorant, stubborn people who don't want to see accept anything other than what they're told."

I think this applies to the Westboro Baptist Church and Jesus Camp. Those are the EXTREMIST parts of Christianity. We're NOT all like that.

"Religion breeds ignorance, prejudice, conflict, conformity, stubbornness, closed-mindedness, blind obedience, and so on, and hinders human growth. It's also bad for the individuals, because they come to rely on some unseen deity to solve their problems and end up weak, subservient, dependent... They should instead learn to rely on themselves, or on other people if anything, rather than an *imaginary friend*..."

Here is the problem IMHO. Men in power have not really interpreted their religious texts in the best of ways. I AM aware of the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades, AND the Salem witch hunts. Of course, there's the massacre of most of the Native American population too.

OK, I admit, Galileo was even placed under house arrest because of his research.

But most people feared what they didn't understand.

They had no other way to do those things. Also if you DIDN'T believe in God back then, you'd be possibly tortured and EXECUTED as a heretic. That's how bad it might have been.

But THAT was then. This is now. Yes, there ARE people who force beliefs on others even now(possible even extreme atheists[not trying to offend you]), but I feel by lumping the bad in with the good, you are generalizing ALL religious people as a whole. The people who use religion as a means to kill or harm others in any way are NOT true followers.

"And if people can't even explain and understand their own beliefs, and believe in them weakly and irrational, running away from anything that might challenge them, then there's something really wrong there, because they're clearly just believing without questioning... How is that ever a good thing?"

What if the person in question was an agnostic(not part of ANY organized religion, but still believes in God)?

"This is why I argue with religious people about their beliefs."

I was trying to stay out of this whole argument between ZoanBlade and yourself. In fact, I wanted to stay out of religious debates as a whole, but I don't want two people who have the potential to, at the very least, tolerate each other's belief system(as long as no harm is involved) to have a verbal WAR against each other.

Because religious arguments now might end up becoming a REAL full-scale war in the future.

You really don't know how to debate a point, do you?
Quoting what I said verbatim strengthens my argument and weakens your own, if anything, because of the actual content of what it was that you quoted.

It's because you seem to consider "helping" to be only a push *back* towards the faith rather than *away* from it... Which is what I'm doing, and I think it will be for the best.
I fail to see what the point was of you linking to that thing in the first place... What did you hope it to achieve?

Anyway, clearly if you have problems with your faith, it's hardly stable enough for you to stick with it at all.
