--- Quote from: The King of Mitt Romney's Fan Club on June 14, 2008, 09:08:56 PM ---The real problem I have is most religious people, aren't even religious. Most teenagers in America drink, do drugs, and sleep with strangers. Aren't those sins? And don't most Americans claim to be "Christians"? If you're going to be a Christian, be a real fucking Christian. Most religious people today are casual, when they need god, when it's convenient to them, they pray. But when their drunk, passed out, they forget what the Bible even is. I have no respect for the Christian faith. Islam on the other hand, every Muslim I've met, prays, doesn't drink, doesn't lie, and are nice, respectable people. It's their lives. And devoting yourself to something larger then you, is highly respectable and should be encouraged.

How can you say such a thing? Have you ever been to a country like Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan? You can get stoned for choosing not to practice Islam. In Saudi Arabia you can be put in jail for cross dressing. How is that better then the Christan alcoholics and druggies? How are the Muslims and Christians you've met speak for the billions of Muslims and billions of Christians in the world. Like all religions there are good followers and bad followers.
The King:
I'm only speaking from my own experiences. What happens in the modernized world/US, and what happens in Iraq are very different things.

This just speaks to the redundancy of religion. It's not useful in todays world, and is only holding as back from progressing in society. Science only betters mankind, moves us forward, improves our lives (in most cases). Religion on the other hand, does not do all of those things. Believing you're life is great because you believe god will save you, is very different then your life actually being great. Reality and faith.

It's not that simple. How do you distinguish the two? Is faith not reality since it doesn't only have to be used in religion? Doesn't faith play a part in day to day life?

"Nuclear weapons" are inanimate objects that have no personality. They are only as dangerous as the people that use them. If the Islamic fundamentalists used them, then it would be safer to say that their religion, which motivated them to use nuclear weapons, was the thing that "destroyed us all".

Okay well here's what I feel about Atheism. It's a wealthy white man's religion. Now you got niggas like the dude Job, goin' around clownin' others for other religious beliefs, but he doesn't come after this shit, and this is the worst one. It's like a selfish white cat's faith. There's nothing higher up, nothing more powerful, there's nothing more stronger.
I feel a white rich man, came up with this shit to ya know, look superior so they can have somethang to say about black people or poor heads in general. 'They believe in God, some fake existence'. Like it's an excuse for us to live they way we do! Becuz God wants us to. We live in Ghetto's, we live in slums, and live on welfare, and we put it off on God. Complete bullshit! And I know for a fact, this is their kind of thoughts.
I read an article. It was about how fat black women can't lose weight like fat white women. They can't lose weight becuz black health magazines rely more on faith. While white women magazines rather rely on diet and exercise. Are you fuckin' serious? What are you sayin' right now? Like we are fuckin' stupid. Come on now.
Again a belief is a belief, and I have to respect them, but when you believe in God, I don't care what religion it is, more power to you. But as you see, more and more people wanna push off God, it's aight, so be it. Becuz even if the whole world done converts atheist, one with God is always in the majority. And that's the realest spit.
