The problem, as I see it anyway, with religious fantatics........is that they are so........fantatical about it!

I honestly don't care what a person believes. They can worship a man living on the moon because it is made of green cheese, for all I care. It is when they try to convince me that I need to believe the same, that they are somehow better, that I am somehow evil, for not believing the same. THAT is when I have a problem.

A religious person will feel it is their constitutional right to spout whatever their beliefs are, whereever and whenever they choose. BUT if you spout off anything that contradicts their belief with even half the conviction and passion, they you are evil and attacking them.

I suppose it is because it threatens the very core of who they are, because it challenges something that cannot be proven. Yet it is something that is so important to them on such a personal level.

All in all, people really need to loosen up.

So I was watching this movie Zeitgeist.  And it made me realize something.  Most, if not everything about religion is....well....false.  I would go into detail but it's best if you watch the movie.

I would add the word "some" to the above, LT.

You came to this enormous conclusion after simply watching a movie?

Well,

When I joined this group, I did not expect for my religion to be bashed. If you do not like religion, stay out of it.
I have heard my Lord referred to as many things, but never before have I heard Him referred to as a Jewish Zombie.
What I have learned in my Christian life is that most people who have these type feelings about Christianity are very threatened by us, and may need it themselves.  If that statement made you angry, examine your own heart.  There is where it all starts. 

I would not have made it through my life without faith.   I feel sorry for those who hate.

Regards, MissSCD

i'm missing something but i didn't read that anyone hates anyone.  i also fail to see how anyone NEEDS anyone else's religion.  If "christians" would just follow what Jesus taught instead of telling every infidel to go to hell, the world would be a better place.  Jesus was very much against "religious" people who make God out to be a cosmic Sadist of the worst possible kind.  Religion should be a personal thing, a way for a person to connect with that Power that helps them make right choices.  People who do not believe in such Power are not automatically evil.  It's the very invocation of Evil and Slander that causes problems.  We have only to look at the Middle East the "Holy" Land, if you will, to see this.  Lighten up already.

I have to say here that I do understand where MissSCD is coming from.  I usually stay out of "religious" or philosophical threads as much as possible.  I read more than a few, although I have not speciifcally participated in many.  And I could be wrong regarding the fact that you and LaT are referring to instances of "you're going to hell" etc. 
Frankly, I have never seen it.  When topics are started that have something to do with religion, or a philosophy of complete disbelief, I would assume these are meant for open discussion.  (I will add here that I have never seen a thread started specifically to proclaim God or Christianity.  Only the opposite...)  Therefore, those with certain religious views might, naturally, would participate, and I have never seen them give opinions that are not respectful and polite.  Wouldn't this thread be a typical example of that?
However, it is well known that "Christians", in particular, are often pointed to as delusional, morons, idiots and worse.  We are all fanatical, and any feelings we have regarding anything is because we are part of the crazy religious right, etc., etc., etc.  We are automatically stereotyped, and dismissed as not worth listening to.  Christianity is disparaged all too often on these boards, and it comes up often in a very negative way throughout many political discussions.  It has happened to Me, and I try very hard to never be rude!
In My personal life, I have them knocking at My door, and I send them on their way with the assurance that I am good to go.  If that is what you mean, LaT, then I apologize.  I know those door knockers are on a mission to save your very soul and that can be annoying. 
If there are instances wherein people feel they are being attacked on these boards for non-belief, I would love to be pointed in that direction.  I haven 't seen it. I do not attack, and I have read many other points of view that are obviously, to Me, not meant as an attack, yet, it is very easy to be accused of that.  An opinion that does not match is too often taken as a challenge, when all it is is a different opinion!  I have recoiled from some of the vitriol.  And that is usually an indication of feeling threatened.
