Before I start talking about my atheism, I will say, yes, I have given up on the idea of getting 666 comments on my previous post. (you could still post there, though.)
I used to think that religious people are stupid, and that could almost be considered hate. but I don't anymore.
Religious people are just a little bit ignorant. most people beleive in a religion because thair parents do, and they are afraid of some punishment if they beleive in somthing different. (thats called "Fear tactics", which is getting someone to beleive in somthing/do somthing by scareing them.) and anyone who poseses a slight ammount of ignorence could end up beleiveing in that religion. and everyone poseses some ignorence.
There is a large difference between ignorence and stupidity. Stupidity is haveing a low intelegence level. Ignorence is simply not knowing/unawareness.
I am an athiest for contless reasons. as time goes by, I come to respect religious people more. but, also, the more I think about religion, the less likely i am to beleive in a religion.
the first reason i have is the fact that NO RELIGION WHATSOEVER HAS BEEN PROVEN.
you can't prove the existance of a higher being, you can't prove creationism, and you can't prove that noah's ark really existed. you can't prove anything from any religion. you can't prove that an afterlife exists, you can't prove that the budda really meditated under a tree for such a long time without any food or water,(if he really had, he would have died before he had any followers.) you can't prove any of that crap. why beleive in stuff that can't be proved? Science CAN be proved, however. and, the more science gets proved, the more it kicks the ass of all religion.
My second reason is the fact that religious people tend to hate anyone with different beleifs. I do not speak for all religious people when I say this, but there still are religious people who are that way. there are also atheists with the same problem,(i.e. "I used to think that religious people are stupid, and that could almost be considered hate. but I don't anymore.") but it's more common with religious people. religion also commonly involves the idea that if you don't beleive in that religion, you will go to hell.(Fear tactics again! OMG!!) This is rediculous to me. Charles Darwin, the person who theorised Evolution, was once dubed the most dangerous man in england because his theory was opposeing the christian belief that god created the earth in less than a week. also, WHY THE HELL DO PEOPLE ALWAYS TRY TO CONVERT YOU TO THAIR RELIGION!? no religion is more likely to be true than any other religion.
My third reason is that, according to the bible, all of mankind was created in the "perfect" image of god. yet, we have people as imperfect as gays, idiots, pedophiles, Adolf Hitler, Michel Jackson, My little brother, 7IsUnlucky, and so on. speaking of gays, isn't it considered some horrible sin to be gay? it is according to the bible. (No, i have nothing against gays.) also, every time somthing bad happens, it's either Satan, or some punnishment from god.
My fourth reason is that, well, religion is one of the main causes of war. think a bout the crusedes, the inquisitions, and world war 2. all caused by differences in religious beleifs. (hitler blamed the jews far the fact that they lost world war 1, and his followers all agreed, thus causing world war 2. or maybe it was caused by somthing else and I misunderstood what my parents said.)
I have so much to say about this subject, that i might have forgotten some of it. if i remember it later, i'll post it here. I doubt that you read all of what i said up there.
some of you might reply wth "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!!1!1!! YOU FUCKING HERITIC I HOPE YOU DIE IN A FIRE!1!!1!!!!1!1!1!1!!" but you will only be makeing yourself and everyone else who worships your religion look bad.
and if you try to convert me to your religion by PMing me or commenting here, you'll just make me less likely to beleive in your religion.
wow, that's a lot of words. yes, i know the my spelling is horrible, but that doesn't make me stupid. spelling can't determine total intellegence. saying i'm dumb for my spelling would be like saying you're dumb because you suck at math, science, history, etc.
