I agree. I just like the taste of it. If a company has certain religious beliefs, I'm not going to get worked up over it. I have bigger personal problems.

Some religious companies use their profits to oppress or to lobby for making their religious views into laws.

"Chick-fil-A has donated over five million dollars to organizations that depict gay people as pedophiles, want to make “gay behavior” illegal, and even say gay people should be “exported” out of America." "Hobby Lobby specifically fought against women’s healthcare and took it all the way to the Supreme Court." https://rampagewired.com/471235/op-ed/companies-under-fire-the-truth-about-businesses-like-chick-fil-aurban-outfitters-and-hobby-lobby/

That's pretty sick. As someone from the LGBT community this is actually very frightening. I don't usually follow news and was unaware of the depths of it all. I wasn't thinking of possible funding to anti LGBT organizations. Im going to be more aware of where I put my money. It sucks because chick FIL a has some kick ass food, but it's not worth the hate and pain they want to afflict on others.

Hobby lobby didn't want to pay for women's contraceptives, which is totally reasonable. It's bullshit that any company would have to provide something like that. It's a private issue that the government and businesses should stay out of.

The more our beliefs align with reality it allows us to make the best possible decisions here in the real world. Religion and Faith goes directly against that. It lets them believe whatever they wish to be true. It also lets them believe things that conflict with other Faith beliefs. There is no actual method to accept the claims of holy books or think that any gods exist without that Faith. They use that Faith to make up their world view and to "answer" what are supposed to be the most important questions.

All religious Faith is intellectual dishonesty made into an elite virtue. It is wish thinking.

People who think there is a god have no objective method to read any holy book just like they have no objective method that can be used to say how all the other religions besides their one favorite religion are wrong.

For people who care about what is true in reality the evidence needs to meet the whole of the claims being made and there are only bad reasons to accept god claims. I care too much that the people who I'm forced to share this planet with hold true in reality beliefs. We do not live in private bubbles, the people who take what are supposedly the most important questions and claim god did it with magic - vote, indoctrinate children and most are in a death cult that make them hate and claim other people not in their cults are sub human.

The god believers can't keep their religions to themselves. They are also more anti-science/ anti-vax during a pandemic.

The religious moderates act as protection for the people who take their not moderate compatible religions seriously and who know their holy books best. Those being more honest to the texts are doing much real-life harm and are trying to take away others legal rights.

Huge generalization not accounting for the diversity of beliefs and valuesi n religious communities

​

Not accurate, that's the assumption that everyone believes what they read with no critical thinking skills. Many religious people many religious people rely on historical and literary analysis, theological reasoning, and communal traditions to understand their religious texts.

>For people who care about what is true in reality the evidence needs to meet the whole of the claims being made and there are only bad reasons to accept god claims.

Not supported by evidence. There are always extremists that hold these views but many others follows scientific reasoning and tolerance and love for others.

>The god believers can't keep their religions to themselves.

Neither can atheists, but religious people don't normally seek out to insult and attack anyone who shares their faith, even if they disagree with it.

>They are also more anti-science/ anti-vax during a pandemic.

You mean the science that turned out to be dead wrong and the vax that wasn't really a vax?

>The religious moderates act as protection for the people who take their not moderate compatible religions seriously and who know their holy books best. Those being more honest to the texts are doing much real-life harm and are trying to take away others legal rights.

We generally don't care what others do with their lives, just when it starts to hit close to home, like showing porn to children and making them question their sexuality, which is what Christians said would happen 10 years ago.

None of those things are moral or healthy in a civilized society.

It is the religious moderate majority who play a very important role in protecting, enabling and validating the harmful beliefs of the fundamentalists - by this fact they are indirectly harming others. The moderates by choosing to call themselves Muslims, Christians, Jews or Mormons are therefore choosing to group themselves with the people who are being honest to what their holy texts say and those who use their religion for harm. If there is nothing else that you can accept as a harm done by moderates, they do make it harder to criticize religion in public. They also defend their ultimately immoral and fundamental religion and they advocate for the intellectually dishonest use of religious faith.

Sounds like you're pissed off because religious people have a right to exist and express themselves.

​

>None of those things are moral or healthy in a civilized society.

You're talking about a society that has convinced itself that people mutilating their own bodies and engaging in unrestrained hedonism is a healthy thing. A society that is probably a decade or two, (probably less) from making pedophilia an acceptable practice. A society that has already justified the practice of sex with animals in some western nations.

murder, intolerance, slavery, infanticide, misogyny, genocide, incest, homophobia, xenophobia, torture, human sacrifice, sadomasochism, violence, revenge, bigotry

I'll give you homophobia, which is an incredibly new concept, but Christians follow the new testament. Not sure where you get sadomasochism, torture, human sacrifice and bigotry/xenophobia though. Also incest was pretty strictly forbidden in Leviticus, at least when it came to close family.

Also you're making a sweeping generalization that all religions are responsible for all bad things done by every other religion, which is very intellectually dishonest. That'd be like saying atheism is responsible for every evil thing done by atheists.

And seriously, Christian Rock? That's as bad a the Westboro Baptist church? (which is considered a cult) Were you just filling space?

I'm sorry you blame every bad thing in human history on religious people. Maybe it's time you let go of some of that hatred and try to find some joy in life?

I think of "out of context" when only part of Eze 23 is posted, the rest is important too.

Ezekiel 23:17-21 NIV 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her naked body, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

I see now. You’ve taken these verses, interpreted them with no guidance of the Church, then made assumptions on the whole of Christianity based on those assumptions. Am I correct?

P.S. it is not good to interpret the Bible like this, else you make up your own version of Christianity and ignore the history of Christianity and how the saints and leaders of the Church interpret the Bible. Analogy: it’s like you take a scientific journal and call it false because you make up your own reasons as to why it’s false without consulting experts to ask what particular points are talking about.

Those special interpretations you have - "apologetics" to make them say what you want them to say - all require that intellectually dishonest religious Faith that lets people believe any nonsense thing.

The fact that verses require a special interpretation instead of what they actually say shows the complete failure in god's supposed "perfect" and most "important" message.

Do they have the rape, slavery, and incest quotes?

Just cherry-picked quotes huh?

Peter 2:18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.

Forgot about the treat women like trash quotes.

Exodus 21:7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do."

Put that on your bag and shove it up your ass.

Also murder and genocide.

Leviticus 25 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

Numbers 31:17 So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man, 18 but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.
