Ridiculous means ‘laughable’…ie humorous. I fail to discern anything funny about religion because it is taken so seriously. If it were NOT so serious, it would be funny! Semantics….but I get your drift, and you’re RIGHT. Religion flies in the face of common sense…

All of that article is bang on the money, anyone commenting and knocking athiests or vegitarians is a moron who isn’t entitled to an opinion.
@TS I have been vegitarian and athiest my whole life and I’m doing perfectly fine, if you believe that we aren’t supposed to live that way, bully for you. You’re wrong, because we are omnivores and animals just like any other. This means that religion is something we made up and being vegi is not going to harm us (and is in fact a more virtuous way to live)

I think Tynan deserved credit for doing this. I’ll admit, some theists here are taking this as a personal insult, but Tynan is just saying what he believes. I’ve gone through it, no one really wants to argue against christianity around other christians, but he’s right, it’s even more ridiculous not to speak your beliefs.

Thumbs up Tynan!

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.”

I always ask religious people if they find their beliefs logical. Yes or no question. Usually, if I enforce the ‘yes or no’ bit, I can force them to admit that religion is illogical. And that’s all I ask for, is that people understand that fact. If they then wish to believe anyway, fine. I don’t really know why people would choose to believe in some things though. And I wish that people would be more educated about their beliefs overall.

Some of these comments are just so funny. Especially the ones that claim being an Atheist requires as much faith as being a Theist.

Yeah, atheism is a belief. Just like NOT collecting stamps is a hobby. ;)

Fine, strong atheism does have something to do with beliefs (believing there is no god) but most atheists tend to be weak ones (not believing there is a god). There’s a big difference.

Sorry but your post seems like you aren’t trying to understand other views.

I myself have a bad view towards religion, I believe in spirituality as religion seems to be about control. I believe the easiest way to tell if a guru or spiritual leader is deceiving you is if they try to control your life in any way. IF they try to control you, something is going on.

Yes there are instances of religion that fit your description, however, you went as far as attacking everyone saying they are “dumb.” Maybe you do, get angry sometimes? (Referring to a post I read saying that you NEVER get angry, which is hard to believe. You think you are perfect)

Now I like the site and agree with a lot of your philosophies. I would say that attacking other people however is hurting your reputation. Accept other people. If some religious fanatic tries to shove their philosophy down your throat just ignore them, you are just doing the exact same thing as them, shoving the idea that religion is stupid down everyone’s throat.

Haha, I agree with Chad, rename this to People Become Ridiculous When They Talk About Religion (although that would make me ridiculous in this post also, woops).

I have some hard feelings too but that is another story. I would try and be understanding of people and their beliefs, however, there are a lot of sociological concepts that can lead to people following a religion, etc.

Hehehe :) Let’s rename this post:

People Become Ridiculous When They Talk About Religion.

Now that’s much more accurate, in my book.

hey, i love your blog,
but i just have to ask, you honestly believe we came from rocks and gas colliding in space which then became monkeys and are now us. If there is no point to life, why live at all. And if we came from animals, how do we know what is right and what is wrong and where do we get our conscience from?
I just have to say, if i believe in god, and heaven, and a judgement day but there is none, i lose nothing, i just live a pure life, but if you believe there is no god, no heaven no judgement day, and there is, you lose everything.
