I was raised in a Catholic home. I did everything Sunday school, first communion, etc... The thing is that I never liked it and I started to question...little by little I started to move away and go with the scientific approach. Now that I can clearly see what religion do to people I'm totally against it but I respect other people's choice to believe what they want.
anti stupidity but recognizing that religion has played a valuable role in the past
I'm here because it's refreshing to have open interchange with other non-believers.
I'm not against religion, I'm a live-and-let-live kind of person. But I am against religious folks trying to "sell" their particular "product" in a sometimes obnoxious fashion.
I'm not confused at all, but quite solid in my no-beliefs.
really I want to just get away from that crap.
To paraphrase C. Hitchens: "Religion was our first, and worst attempt to explain and understand..." Alchemy gave way to chemistry. Astrology gave way to astronomy. Now, scientific reasoning explains those things once attributed through ignorance to the supernatural. We do have a ways to go as a species, and it's going to take all of us to pull it through. People who wish to cling to the superstition, fear and ignorance that religion breeds are looking backwards and not to the future. All the religious studies degrees in the world won't make one belief in the gods of this past any more real.
Never been anti religion... I just don't believe in god and whatever comes behind or in front of it.
