I live in a world with crazies... For the last time there's no God.
" nope, people are the worst. faith is a concept. you believe in science fact, I believe in god. neither of us is going to stab the other just because of faith. but when some fucker comes along and *does* stab someone, it's easy to blame Jesus, or Muhammed. sadly, religion is also a great way for bad people to not take responsibility for their actions. been that, for millennia.

You folks can't be this uneducated on the topic of religion.

"There is a distinction between religion and theism. If you believe God(s) exist(s) but pay no particular deference to them, you are in irreligious theist; if you do not believe in gods but hold certain things as sacred, you are a religious atheist. Theism is just as silly as you describe it. Religion is not silly. The extent to which mainstream theistic movements vindicate themselves is in fact due to their religiosity, not their erroneous metaphysics. Your remarks on Christianity are misguided. As the most influential religion on this planet, it's been responsible for more raw volume of good and bad than any other; you're focusing on the negative and ignoring the glorious civilization built by Christians you live in. The crisis in atheism is its tendency towards irreligiosity, a weakness Christians tend not to have. Seeing a God that doesn't exist is usually trivial in consequence; irreverence towards the Good that exists is toxic to civilization. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

" I think Sam Harris put it well - some people have this bizarre inability to believe that when a person offers a reason for why the do something, they actually mean it. Ask an Islamic terrorist why they're doing what they're doing and they'll quickly and eagerly tell you. No need to torture it out of them. They're doing what they're doing because of their belief in Islam. Similarly, ask a conservative christian why they are fighting against marriage equality, and they will candidly tell us why - because of their Christian beliefs. I think it would be foolish to ignore people when they explicitly tell us why they believe what they believe. Luna's Blackguards - a guild of bronies - is now recruiting! If you're a fan of our favourite chromatic marshmallow equines, hit me up with an add or whisper, and I'll invite you!

" I like Sam Harris. Good to hear his name here. A lot of people don't like him because he seems to treat all religions equally when criticizing them. anything is everything
