I am deeply hurt and feel betrayed. AM let me just ask you, why are you against religion?Is it you wealthy, luxeriously careless life provided by your parents or did you read some pesudo-intelectual text from the web?

Okay okay okay, I'm an atheist then, since I don't care about the Gods and I don't mind people who are religious - I have christian as well as muslim friends.

But I honestly think that the ideas behind the religions are crazy blasphemies, resulting in a lot of people acting strangely and feeling bound by their beliefs, not to speak of the countless evil acts that some do, based on their religion (The terror caused by martyrs, the christians killing people just to spread their religion, the catholic pedophiles etc etc etc)

Awnser 2 then...

Well see am, the suicide bombers (i think you're referring to them) do it to attarct attention to a certain problem, if USA didnt create Israel radical islam wouldnt spread and there would be no suicide bombers) how can a christian kill? This is very anti-biblical but im sure you're refering to the conquistadores in south america.It wasnt the christians that killed them for christianity, it was the nonbelivin kings who ordered it, and they did it not to spread the word of God, but instead to mix the native americans with the spanish people, and this was ofcourse to remove their culture so that they do not rebel and the spanish king can get his silver.Also priest pedos? Relly? I can tell you they're not very popylar among us either, but it is an individual crime. You cant blame religion for it.

Am, just so you know, blasphemy is a word that means a contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity, the act of claiming for oneself the attributes and rights of God, an irreverent or impious act, attitude, or utterance in regard to something considered inviolable or sacrosanct. So basically, you're using a word used by religions to describe religion.

@Mr Trol
No, it's not answer 2, I am allowed to have an opinion, and just because yours is different doesn't make mine wrong.
The Suicide Bombers, the martyrs of Islam, didn't kill themselves to get attention - Do you seriously think 9.11 was because a couple of Muslims felt lonely and decided to kill themselves for attention? And what has Israel, the Jewish country, to do with this?
And no, I'm talking of the crusades in Europe - the crusaders killed anyone who didn't have the same religion as them, innocent or not, and called it a holy act.
Well, the religion didn't tell them directly to be pedophiles, but due to the religion the poor men couldn't get wives and have fun like the rest of us ordinary people, no wonder they became old horny men.

Religion did some nasty things to mankind, but luckily most believers follow their religion peacefully without causing trouble for the rest of the world. I just don't believe in anything, and I never will, cause I see no good reasons for it. But again, I don't mind others believe in whatever they want, but they should let me believe in a flying pile of pasta if I wanted to, as well :)

@Azsure
Oh well, my vocabulary's fault.

Osamma and his boys were trained to fight the USSR by the CIA, when the cold war ended, instead of leaving them alone, the americans took the solviet's place and started messing in the middle east (gulf war etc) so sooner or later they had it coming.

See last time Israel was arround, the romans took over and for over two milenia there was no country of israel. But after the seccond world war, NATO (usa) decided that the jews should have their own land and that it should be at the spot where it was 2000 years ago, the entire region was almost entierly muslum and the people didnt want to give the land to someone who owned it a 100 generations ago, the israelians have almost no genetic heritege to the old ones.What if Italy decides to take all the land the Romans had, what if the Native americans decide to take back USA? Oh and one last thing, the american goverment did it so that they could have a strategic hold over the region.

Crusades in europe had little to do with christianity, the pope wanted to get at the rich muslum and orthodox land so he called upon the bored peasantry and the greedy nobelty to do so. Byzantine was pwnt by the crusaders who were from the same religion, so it was never about that.It was again, about money and power.

Oh and most churches alowed for their priests to have families. The priests that dont, choose to abstein themselves. If a pedo is a pedo he will always be even if he has 50 hot women.

Oh and finaly pastafarians dont belive in FSM, they're just mocking religion -.-

They took Israel from the Muslims? o_O .. now it makes more sense, and I kinda understand the suicide bombers - but it still doesn't justify their actions.

Yeah, but the fact is still pope (religious leader of christianity) used his power over the christians to start the crusades. Wether or not it was an act of selfishness and greed, it was the religion that granted him the power to do it.

I don't know what causes some people to become pedophiles, but I don't think it's something you are born with. It's rather a bad childhood or loneliness :)

I see the pasta religion as a message that religion is unneeded. And you have been mocking pasta's as well, so what makes you the better one? :)

It's not justified, all people should unite in one nation instead of battling over territory.

Well originaly it was about protecting peaceful pilgrims who were traveling the land beeing harrased by bandits and such. What happened was that some eastern muslims came and took over Jerusalim from the egyptian muslims.The new rulers banned all religions except Islam (before that,everyone got along). This caused a reaction from the west so volentiers whent to take back the city. Unfortionetly the good muslums took it back so when the crusaders arrived and took the city, they were pissed off at all muslums so they decided to keep the lands (and drain them). This pissed ofcourse pissed of all the muslums and everybody hated the jews. Basicly even in the crusades, the reason is money and power.

How is religion unneeded?

Also you cant mock a mockery.

Jerusalem should has been made an international city, for people of all confessions or lack of thereof to unite in and achieve peace. It is the sacred city of all Abrahamic religions and even eastern religions admire it.
It was a mistake to separate it between two rivaling states.

Aha :b

I think there only was one kind of christianity back then, but it doesn't matter. The point is, that a religious leader used his power over religious people to start those crusades.

All should unite in one nation, or even better one religion, or better yet, no religion.

How is religion needed? I don't have a religion, and I'm living just fine. Imagine if there were no religions - there would be nothing to divide the planet's inhabitants in groups, that in several cases act hateful towards eachother.

You just did, so yeah you can. Imagine if a kid is mocked in school, and one day he mocks the others - highly strange situation, but nothing makes it impossible to do

Well, that is the main argument of atheists against religion and really, it's ridiculous, since people will still find millions of other excuses to kill each other. Considering that, religion is actually good, since unlike most other reasons people use to kill one another, it also supports a large group of people, giving their lives a meaning and hope for the better.

I say it once again, I'm not against religion, I just don't think it's an important part of the human race's way of life.

I have meaning in my life as well. I am trying to complete an education, one day to find a woman to love, and enjoy being young and wild and free while I can.
I don't see why my life would be any better with a religion to follow - it would rather limit some of these meanings of my life. Again, you guys believe in what you want, I don't mind, but I personally don't find any religions attractive at all.

:)

It was the kings that wanted the arab gold and the strategic control in jerusalim, nothing about religion.

You arent living fine, you're deluded by the lack of any practical experience, you only know to party and get high, sluggish destructive behaviour funded by your parents who think the money they give you will replace all the times they werent there for you. Face it AM, you wouldnt last a day if you lived where I do. Also you're pritty shalow and a self centered materialist, just a tool for political games.
Oh and the only religious hate is because of israel, without it, the middle east will be a peaceful land. Oh, also there are rumors that the jews are preparing for war against Iran, Legion King's homeland...

Dude the pastafarians only mock others and themselves. They do not hold their beliefs, they do not get offended.

I dont know how religion can stop you from educating or fidning women but I am sure you dont really understand or know anything about it. Basicly you refuse to play the game of life, you refuse to improve yourself (religion strictly enforces beeing good) and only care about your bottom and what you'll have for dinner. Pitty...
