This thread, and everything about it is awesome.
Consider all the adversity society has faced in the name of religion (a MAN MADE, tax exempt, money making machine) and now consider how and why we as a society rarely call out organized religion and are requested to tailor OUR lives, livelihood, and policy for organized religion and treating it as sacred.
I believe the agnostic and athiesm community: we need to start forming our own vocal communities, and being less apologetic about not being part of the mind controlling pyramid that is religion.
As I've gotten older, I've become more and more anti-religious. I see religion as a cancer on society. Even in the best case scenarios, people use it as a placebo to numb their fear of the unknown. Logic and reason are set aside for pacification. This thread is amazing to me. Religious people - particularly Christians - need to be called out on their bullshit. No magic man in the sky is going to save them and they need to grow up and accept that.

What's interesting to me is that religious people, especially the ones that post in this particular thread, can look a fact in the face and deny its truth in the name of faith! That is BAFFLING to me.
That they are as entrenched and in their position is as baffling as the fact that you two are so in your own, and ask them to get "called out on their bullshit", just as they think exactly the same about you.
This is not a bout religion or enlightenment, this is about conviction, about the strong need to clinch to what they FEEL is THE truth, and no matter what it is or how you call it, it will be the mental position to avoid the strain of continuous thinking and the feeling that everything is true and firm and lasting ONLY to a certain point: for people who want the absolute here and now, which is MOST people everywhere anytime, it is a lost battle.
Even if they pretend to admit that they do not actually know everything, and that they are not holding the absolute truth, they are still holding an absolute position as the unshakable cornerstone of all the rest (cornerstone usually accounting for the BIGGEST part of their whole fabric) and THAT's the problem.
You whore!I understand your point, but I feel that my position is changeable based on the information currently available. If there are new facts brought to light, I will certainly consider changing my opinion.
