Kill The Christian

Richard Dawkins is quite a hypocrite. I respect his ideas, but I don't like the way he criticizes others for believing with no evidence. What evidence does he have to be athiest? How does he know there's nothing out there? He's just as much of a follower of blind faith as anyone he discussed. How is he certain that we originated how Darwin said? Far as I know, Darwin wasn't God. Though, he might be, how do I know, but I very very VERY much doubt it somehow.

I'm very much into morals. I don't eat meat (though that's a much more controversial ethics matter), I don't kill and I don't plan on doing so either, I give to charity every day I can (see thehungersite.com to give free food every day. There's also links to other causes) and I generally am a good person, I think. But I'm agnostic. Ooh. Being athiest/agnostic doesn't mechanically make you an immoral person. Of course, being a monothiest/polythiest doesn't automatically make you a bad person. But what I don't like about religion is how, for want of a better word, arrogant it seems. People are generally part of a religion because they believe they know what happens. They are convinced that they, and other members of their religion, have been given insight into some sort of true meaning of the universe. In fact, athiests are similar - they believe they know it all, too. Which is why I like agnostism - like virtualfactor said, we can neither prove nor disprove God's existence. Unless you're God, chocolate - which I'm not calling impossible, nothing's impossible - I'm just uncertain as to how you can be so sure.

"in the past 2000 years christians have killed 29 million (max)" That doesn't make sense. Christians don't kill. Christians believe killing is wrong. That's part of being a Christian. If someone claims to be Christian and kills someone, they're lying. Unless they managed to find 29 million loopholes in the Bible.

Of course any true Christianity has made a good effect on society. How many true Christians are there? How many really don't sin at all? They don't swear, or think bad thoughts, etc. If you're Christian, it means you believe - know, even - that everyone around you who doesn't agree with it is going to burn in hell for eternity because they didn't believe. Surely that's, in a sense, racist. Believing that members of other religions are wrong, flat out.

All that stuff about how women were treated 2000 years ago - how do you know it's true? Were you there? It's as easy to know as the idea of the evolution process being true - you DON'T know. How do you know you're not basing all that on a bunch of lies, or just some strange memory implanted in your brain at some point? What if we really are living in a Matrix, where reality is fiction? Where's God then?

"If religion is true then it isn’t a false hope." - and if it isn't true? Not ruling it out, but it's damn possible.

"(i got an A- :-( )" There there, A-'s pretty damn good.

I'm not a racist - although it feels like religion's a bad idea, even I can't be 100% sure of it. No one can be 100% sure of anything. And I don't rule out the possibility of anything - maybe Christianity is the one true faith, maybe Hinduism, maybe Judiasm, Islam, etc. Maybe there is no such thing as a true religion - maybe the idea was just to live a good life. Maybe there is no idea, and when we die absolutely nothing happens. Maybe we all go to heaven in a little row boat (check Radiohead: The Pyramid Song). But if it's true that there really is one true faith, that everyone was just supposed to go along with despite the million other possibilities, that everyone else is persecuted, given the chance I would (possibly, who knows...) go up to God and ask Him/Her/It just what the hell He/She/It thought they had done.

Why should SOCIOLOGISTs and HISTORIANs be regarded any better than ANIMAL specialists? I see no reason to do so. I really do feel that humans are probably just another breed of animal. (I don't eat my friends...) My little dog - he smiles, he plays, he thinks, he dreams. As far as I can tell. I certainly adore him more than any human I know, he's like a little brother to me, he listens to me. Aw, my dog's great.

Anyway, like I said, I'm not racist. Couple of my friends are atheists, all the rest are religious. But I'd be surprised to discover there really is meant to be one true faith - I'd much rather it was that we should just lead a good life. I don't like the idea of suicide bombers or mercy killers livin' it up in the next life.

I don't like blind faith. People going along with a religion because they were told to. That's how I lived the first 13 or so years of my life. I just said I was Hindu, because I was told I was. It was just easier so I went along with it. But surely, as a Hindu, I shouldn't have dreaded going to the Mandir because I found it dreadfully boring. I shouldn't have wondered why there were meant to be so many Gods and Goddesses and such, when I had never seen any of them. It wasn't faith - it was blind faith. I just accepted it all as true because I was never told anything different from a young age.

That sugar cane, that tasted good, that's who you are, that's what you could, come on, come on, no one can see you cry.......I adore REM's music, that's for sure. Ooh, it's gone onto New Order, Blue Monday. Full length 7:25 version, hurray.......poor old Ian Curtis, huh.
