    When people realized how Orthodox Religion was a front for nothing but exploitation and oppression of the poor.
    It doesn't need to be capitalized moron, its not a Madonna song.

    Organized religion isn't all its cracked up to be, but atheism is just as stupid.

    Any extreme is moronic.

      Nietszche set a trap for you all.

      I'm not religious, but I think people having a faith, spirituality and a healthy "fear of god" whatever your "god" may be is a good thing.
      Atheism isn't a "belief in nothing", it's a "rejection of theism". Just want to clear that up. Atheists believe in any number of things actually.

      Religion has been used to justify some of the most horrific crimes against humanity as well. It's just as easy (historically speaking) to lead a group of religious people to commit atrocities in the name of their God. If a group are convinced of any number of crimes are actually permissible by God, they actually believe it to be just.

      Hardly deserving of a death sentence... Anybody can attempt to justify their actions through any of their beliefs.

        Way to really defend your statement/contribute to the topic.

          most of the prison population haven't commited serious crimes either

            I don't need a dissertation on it, I already expressed my opinion on organized religion.

            I'm more curious as to what atheists like you and piglet believe in. You guys always leave that part out.

              Denying the existence of god is one thing, and providing a set of rules or a remote methodology that outline that belief is tolerable

              Stating you believe in God and providing an outline for that belief is another.


              Claiming there's something wrong with someone, or their "Moral Compass" isn't calibrated correctly because they don't believe in God:

              Is ignorant. Plain and Simple.

                  Atheism is the belief that the universe was not created by a deity. All religions beliefs are more ridiculous than that.

                    Also it's not possible to equate Morality to the Catholic Church.

                    As a body of representatives it commits more atrocities than any other faction. So you can just go ahead and write that off.

                    Also basically any form of spawned Christianity.

                      are you an atheist? Do you believe in science? Do you believe in reason?
