How can extremely religious adults be taken seriously.

[BuyandSave]

I mean, believing in a higher power is one thing...but all of this other shyt How can a grown person sit there and tell another man what he should and shouldn't do based on an ancient book. Just reading through the bible, you people know that the sun was said to revolve around the earth and change into the moon when it got tired That's just one of the countless examples of the Bible being just another book. And then you fukks have the nerve to laugh about the Greek gods, Paganism, etc. Yea, that shyt is ridiculous in this day and age but most people treat it as such. What you follow is just as retarded. Especially black Christians - are you serious? You know that it was literally forced upon you, right? And you still follow it?

How can the extremely non-religious be taken seriously

All these idiots are blabbing on the internet forums / Youtube comments arguing against religion all day, acting like they're too smart to have religion

yet there are millions of religious people who are smarter and more accomplished than them

how can the mildly religious be taken seriously

how can they profess a faith and not follow it right?

so how is extremely/devoutly religious any weaker of a position than the others?

do what works for you stop worrying about other people

Non literal interpretation ?

Taking bits and pieces of a philosophy rather than the whole ?

admission that belief is not fact (same goes for atheism) ?

i do agree that the attitude many abrahamic practitioners have towards other faiths and belief system is piss poor. Whats new tho.

I don't really talk about religion unless it's pushed right in my face. Fyi, Atheism is a religion too, imo, and is just as annoying. If it makes you feel better, do you. But when people fight wars over it, donate money to it, and condemn others for not following it is when it becomes a problem. Saying science is wrong when it's based on proof when you don't have a shred of evidence to back up your claims. Even worse, you have tons of evidence to counteract them.

ok OP

who is saying science is wrong
are you making up these people

 

[Zach Lowe]

Why do people listen to scientists outside of their realm though

these must be the same people listening to a linguist (Chomsky) talk about political philosophy

science =/= a scientist's unproven opinion or personal belief

 

[the cac mamba]

to quote the gawd bill maher,

atheism is a religion like abstinence is a sex position

and as far as the premise, ask those assclowns like slaimon and mr somebody

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I can take them seriously as long as they never bring their beliefs up. But Evangelical types @ how retarded they are

Am I making up these people? Nah. You're telling me that there aren't people out there that argue about the age of the human race, evolution, and other proven things on a daily basis just off the strength of the bible telling them otherwise? On top of this, I already mentioned the fact that I think Atheists are just as annoying so idk why you'd conveniently skip over that and assume that I talk about this shyt on a daily basis. Then again, you're probably accustomed to conveniently skipping over things to validate your beliefs.

Atheism is not a religion, but it is the only reasonable position, imo.

What you said is dumb.

virtually no one says evolution is wrong

what are you smoking

you're stereotyping all religious people based on less than 1% of the total group

your talk about atheists was irrelevant to me I don't give a fokk what you think about atheists or about anything I can skip over if it adds nothing of value to me

 

[BuyandSave]

Atheism is not a religion, but it is the only reasonable position, imo.

You could make a lot of things sound reasonable. Like creationism, for instance, or just believing in a general higher power. The thing is, you have to have something of substance to back up these claims, i.e. "humans existed parallel to other mammals but were the only ones to advance or evolve", not, "Jesus said he'll brb, it's been written bro!"

 

[Zach Lowe]

What you said is dumb.

So scientists' personal, unproven thoughts are also science

there's no need for them to adhere to the scientific process and to be peer reviewed

ok
