Waldo Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Talking about on this forum... It just seems that every other thread, is some attack on the religious (esp. on Muslims). Am I just imagining it? Or is that really happening here? What do you think? For the record; I generally do not like religion; but ... I dislike a whole lot more, people who think it's okay to be constantly snippy and rude towards other human beings who just so happen to be religious. Are people here not capable of tolerance and compassion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quik Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 From what I've seen there seems to be more needling on the political threads than the ones pertaining to religion but I'm just a new boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are people here not capable of tolerance and compassion? Religion can be a comfortable club,devoid of love! the real glue to it all,not always by any means,some get it,..........but as JC said before being condemned to a horrific death on a plank of wood by the religious of the day and Italians who needed to appease the religious Jewish leaders........"few will go through the narrow gate" Love is the ticket to the "narrow gate".........but beware! it is not some euphoric,spliffy, easy come easy go lurve! but more like already mentioned,Pauls letter to the Corinthians regarding real love! ... 1 Corinthians 13New International Version (NIV) 13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

unbeliever Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hatred is a strong word. Concern certainly. Hope of change, most definitely. Tolerance doesn't mean you don't say anything negative. Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

pretty_big Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 We should push it on young people to not so much "hate" religion but reject it and reject it strongly. All forms of religion that include praying to some made up nobody that's neither dead/alive should be banned and then we might start to see some world peace.... Only problem is we'll then have to teach and enforce morals in school and parenting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the very long list of people dead over the matter of socialism vs capitalism and then say that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
