A question for atheists

[matthewmunari]

but my situation wasn't a re-creation......its a miracle that the garbage men happened to be dumping THAT dumpster behind which they found me.....called an ambulance 911, i "clinically" died in the ambulance TWICE...I remember most of it, so well in fact, when I when i was finally lucid I asked my dad "why am i in the hospital, I
was just with 2 friends"....he told me the truth, I called him a liar....Like I said, he had to show me proof that I had been in jail the previous 4 months....it was REAL..they last thing i remember her saying is "I'll definitely see you again"......that's Gods' honest truth..

It seems rather odd to me. Some of their biggest points seem to be that religion is the the biggest evil on the planet and that religious type seek to impose their will on everyone else. The later complaint seems especially odd to me given that these same people generally do their best to tell you that your religion is nothing more than a creation of you weak mind and that you need to "wake up".

I think I do it because of all the wars I have read about in the history books and the wars that are sort of motivated due to religious beliefs that is going on now. Because all of the injustices committed in the name of religion. I do it because my logic doesn't allow me to think that way. I do it because if there was a god, innocent people wouldn't die or even if they did they wouldn't suffer and starve to death.
I know your going to say that, religion has good things to offer too. But I disagree, I think that religion creates another basis to hate someone. I'm not saying that all religious people like to enforce their "will" upon others, but since we are humans we love to label people. So if one does it, the whole group does it. I think that comes naturally to us and we try to overcome. Like with race or the color of your skin. I'm sure everyone has been racists towards someone at one point in their life but we try to overcome this by using logic and telling ourselves that there is nothing different about the other man. We, as a society, want to get rid of the race factor all along and what would be the best way to get rid of it? If we didn't have the race issue in the first place. But we cannot do that now can we? We can't change people's skin color now, can we? We try to do the same with religion. We want to get rid of it because it eliminates a base for hatred. The only difference with religion is that we choose to believe in it. We aren't just born a particular religion. So since we aren't born with it, we can indeed get rid of it and thus eliminate that platform for hatred.

I would like to apologizes for anything that doesn't make sense in advance, as I am blazed the fuck out of my mind right now.:bigjo int::bigjo int:
