Athiesm is just as much an extremist stubborn belief system as any other.
What about the followers of the prince, we are a peaceful group who only lash at out others with our abbo sticks at the first sign of dissidence

I don’t think I’m extreme but maybe with your definition I am? I don’t believe in god, ghosts, supernatural, reincarnation, aliens, spirits, Robbie Hart @Ricky Bobby ever having sex again etc etc. If one were to show themselves I would be happy to change my mind. I also have no problem if you believe in any of those things. But yeah basically a bunch of cells and you die.
You lump aliens into religious beliefs?

Ermmmmm they can be pretty stubborn but I would not put them at the same level as Christian Evangelists or radical Muslims

With respect, non-religious cucks who predictably trot this tired argument out to defend the mongoloids are the f ag hags of the religion scene.
You're one of the more religious posters on this site. Mind you I'm not surprised that you don't see it.

You will never see/experience because you tell yourself its not real. Its a vicious circle

What's the difference? Aethiests have also chosen a very specific set of belief systems and have locked in and ridicule others who think differently and try to convince others that they have the truth. Maybe you're referring to religious violence but I think true atheism can lead to moral relativism which lets people do all kind of nasty shit too

Bottom line is simply making up their minds about the nature of reality/life/death/etc and locking in. Not wise imo

I’m living my best life are you? Because I don’t believe in certain things means my life sucks? Really? I think believing in every CT would kind of suck my life away but you do you.
you said you were just a bunch of random cells not me. That sounds shitty to me, what's the point? How do you face death? etc

You don't know what I believe or don't believe (and the reverse of course). I'm just saying that smart people everywhere have had profound spiritual experiences that change their lives throughout all history and cultures. Great books and art stem from these stirrings of the soul, visions beyond the material. I've had a few myself and they are pretty hard to dismiss. Can't go on saying they are all fools imo

Sure humans can be prone to imagination and becoming TOO open-minded, and definitely people have taken advantage of us w/ organized religion... but imho to totally close it off is to blind one's self to so much of what makes this reality so fantastic

I haven’t closed anything off. If one of those things appears to me I will then rethink my current position. I’m open minded while living in my current reality. I never said anyone was a fool. Mental illness also can create great art or being in an impaired state.

Religion is made to have all of us at each other’s throats. Separate us and have differences so we don’t get along. Always notice that ones religion is always the right one. One of the things I hear a lot is Muslims hate Jesus, but Jesus in the Quran is a prophet. One of the most important ones along with Moses and Abraham. Man has made changes to text to benefit himself. We have lost our ways a long time ago and we are just following the word of man not the word of God.

^^ yes and yes. Religion is a scourge

But WHY does it work so well??

IMHO its because we all sense that there is something like that in our essence, we FEEL something beyond the physical its not just belief, in many ways people glimpse at the divine and are forever astounded. We crave nourishing it and finding it again but don't know how. If someone can fill that void just a little bit you have them hooked. Throw a threat like hell etc in the mix and people are fucked lol

I agree to a certain point. Being religious can be a beautiful thing. The love and passion some people have is a wonderful sight to behold. Helping others to better themselves has to be one of the best feeling in the world. The hate in people's hearts is the problem.
