Why do you guys talk about religion so much

[NoMayo15]

So you determine right and wrong.

I'm a secular humanist, so I determine what's moral based on reason. Another individual might have a different view of morality.

I don't wear panties and I can assure my drawers aren't in a bunch. I don't really care one way or the other but I'm calling out that bullshyt "politics" answer because I've never seen it come up in a religious thread so there's no way that can possibly be the reason why religion gets talked about so much.

It's A reason religion gets brought up so often here. There's almost always someone somewhere doing something we'd all view as horrendous, that was motivated by religious dogma. You've never seen it, so it never gets discussed. Right

And how is your 1st amendment being violated?

Seriously? Wow. Do you even understand how the 1st amendment is applied to laws?

Protect the minority from what? You can't overturn shyt because, again, the MAJORITY of the people want it that way.

Have you been paying attention? The majority of people thinking a certain way isn't how legislation gets passed.

There's no law that says an atheist can't run for president but the fact is he's gonna have a hard time getting votes. Why? The majority of the people voting aren't gonna be too fond of that. Oh well, that's life.

Okay..and? I have no problem with that.

Religion is keeping you, personally, from learning? No, that's called dyslexia.

You're an idiot.

And if you can't see a relation between evolution and homosexuality you're a retard. They both have to do with reproduction or lack there of. If all humans were homosexual we wouldn't be able to evolve any further.

You don't understand evolution. Don't pretend like you do. Even if that last sentence were true, why does that mean all atheists should be against homosexuality? Evolution has nothing to say about the benefits/harms of homosexuality.

You still sound like toothpaste.
M-m-my 1st amendment rights.

I often wonder this as well. Especially as it pertains to atheists. If the concept of God is so absurd and ridiculous then why spend so much energy on it?

:

because the fact that people perpetuate it is detrimental to society, and progress

And I'm curious how a person can scream about the greatness of evolution and then support homosexuality and abortion. You guys are just confused. Rebels without a cause.

evolution EXISTING doesnt have a goddamn thing to do with people aborting babies and not caring if fags get married

 

[NZA]

people discus religion because

1. it impacts everyone's life

2. this is supposed to be a forum of intellectual pursuits, so people discuss stuff

complaining about religion being discussed makes it seem like you just dont like the things that get said but for some reason are not willing or able to refute these things in a thoughtful and intellectually honest manner

that's unfortunate

good apologetics needs rational theists. if you dont like the discussions, i suggest you take part in improving them?

I'm agnostic too and I don't see religion ever really affecting my life. I can search for dirt in a snow storm but the truth is lack of gay marriage rights doesn't have any bearing whatsoever on my life.

And I never compared evolution and gay marriage I just pointed out that if everyone was gay or everyone got abortions there would be no more human beings. So what good is discovering evolution if we're just going to make ourselves extinct anyway?

What? What kind of horrible analysis is this? Everyone isn't gay. Everyone isn't getting abortions. If everyone were gay, humans would go instinct regardless of whether there is gay marriage or not. Newsflash: gay people aren't attracted to the opposite sex. And what on earth do you mean by what is good about evolution? Its SCIENCE. There's absolutely no morality attached to it. Go back to school and learn the difference between science and social issues.

You may not care about gay marriage, but people who care about equal rights do. You may not care about advances in science and technology, but a lot of people do. Everything doesn't revolve around you.

...all humans aren't homosexual. If they were, gay marriage would be a non issue and wouldn't matter because we would all be gay and humanity wouldn't exist in 100 years.

Evolution is SCIENCE. It says absolutely nothing about what should or shouldn't be allowed. The topic of gay marriage is a social issue about whether those those of the population who are gay should be allowed to marry the people they love. If you can't understand the difference between science and a social issue then you shouldn't even be posting in Higher Learning in the first place. Go hang out in TLR or some shyt.

It's not an analysis at all so your adjective doesn't offend me any. It's called irony. Evolution is about moving forward while homosexuality is about extinction.

So blah blah blah to the rest of what you said because your whole premise has been rendered irrelevant.

Evolution isn't about moving forward. Its a scientific explanation. Nothing more. There's no morality and no social distinction placed upon it. Homosexuality isn't about extinction. its a sexual orientation. Until you learn this distinction you shouldn't be posting in Higher Learning.

Breh, you're looking too deep into it. Relax.

People trying to give evolution a moral dimension and purpose.

Again I never tried to give evolution any type of moral purpose. I simply pointed out the irony of evolution regarding life moving forward and homosexuality resulting in the extinction of life.

No one said anything about morality. Your boy just went overboard way back when and kept running with it.

Damn yall some dumb fukks up in here.

You should fukking swallow a knife. You'd be doing the world a favor. Please, don't reproduce.


Homosexuality doesn't lead to extinction any more than being a female leads to extinction. Heyyy, if everyone was a female, the human race would go extinct right? You don't know wtf you're talking about, and have the reasoning capabilities of an eight year old. Read something before you spout this nonsense to the world.

Oh, wait, get this guys. So all of us that disagrees with him is a dumb fukk! Really, breh? It's not more likely that you might be... oh I don't know...wrong???? There's no irony in an atheist supporting gay marriage. None whatsoever.

I stopped responding to you a while ago. Yeah, my notifications are working fine.

You're not making a lick of sense. Evolution is nothing more than a process that can be studied and observed through science, no different than star formation or the moon's gravitational pull on the tides.

Homosexuality doesn't result in the extinction of life. Not every organism that reproduces via sexual reproduction is homosexual. Life has had no problem flourishing for millions of years despite the presence of homosexual individuals in populations of various species.

There was no irony because irony has to be based upon truthful observation. You never said anything that could even vaguely pass for an intelligent observation or deduction. To call what you said non sequitur would be an insult to the term. Everybody is laughing at you because what you said was so incredibly stupid and you're still clinging to it.
