Should all religious people be executed?

Yes

No

Everyone who claims to be a true Christian should.

Now hear me out.

'Christian' means follower of Christ. So logically the truest way to follow Jesus Christ is to be crucified, or executed, preferably by Romans, if there are any around.

Side: Yes

That doesnt make any sense. The followings of Christ means to follow whay he said, not what he did. Also what about all of the other religions? I dont think they call for martyrs.

Many religions call for martyrs.

Try fundamentalism Islam; there is a reason they are called 'suicide bombers'.

This is silly, we are to follow his actions and teachings not what happened to him.

You are aware of the reason why Christ was crucified, correct?

Side: No
sauh(1106) Disputed

Yes, the Romans crucified him for messing with their power structure.

Do you mean the reason Christ allowed himself to be crucified?

Cause he was Jesus Christ he could have turned all the Roman soldiers into bunnies if he wanted to.

Side: Yes

Christian means to be "Christ Like". Saying your are a Christian means you try to be like Christ.

Side: No
sauh(1106) Disputed

And Christ was crucified, aka executed, so to be "Christ like" you should also be crucified, aka executed.

(Boom. Logic)

Side: Yes

I don't know. Maybe. If we're trying to wrap the religious argument up once and for all, one side would have to just be gone, and as a non religious person I must biased pick my side to stay.

Though the havoc that would most likely overtake when non religious kids were separated from their religious parents who may get put into concentration camps as a method of rounding them up, scares me. Not to mention the rebellion of religious people who will rise up against this tyranny. I can only hope that in the darkest hour of the actual war between religion and atheism, that I get a parting prayer. As an atheist I don't believe it'll do anything, but it's the thought that counts. The thought that on this hell stricken battlefield, the religious people we atheists fought so hard to exterminate, because we believe they caused every war, still have enough love in their lord's words that even in killing me to protect themselves they offer me peace.

Why the down-vote? It was just a question.... had the answer been yes then I would be all.... no, that would just be mean. ;)

Of course it is known that wild animals that are sick just die from natural selection(they get eaten, or they don't manage to find food) and even livestock, if it has some disease, can be culled to prevent outbreak of disease. In humans it is different though, there are quarantine zones to prevent spread of certain disease. However, religion is sort of disease, but mind disease which can't be prevented to spread by some quarantine, but only by some great culling, and restricting it's spreading. Religion is so embedded within (weak) human mind that it can't be removed normally(e.g. non violently, as those emotional weaklings would call it) but only by eradication.

I really hope you're joking. Extremism is a disease, but not religion. Religion can be, and is, for the most part, peaceful.

Oh what the hell is this? What atheist arrogant wanker posted this now?!

OK then chappy, if you have such strong beliefs as to prevent freedom of speech on such a vast scale ( not to mention breaking dozens of human rights) you deserve to be shot in front of your family. and then tie them two at a time together and shoot one in the head and dump the two in a river, the weight of one drowning the other.

Nah just kidding, but really you should piss off and stop posting stupid debates like this on here.

No. That's sick, horrible and crazy. You'd be wiping out most of the world's population- many millions of children would be orphaned.

Side: No

That's rational, delightful and useful. We would wipe out most of population, so what? Today everyone speaks of world's overpopulation and lack of food for everyone, but culling them is a bad idea, then you suggest something else.

Side: Yes

We have more than enough food- the world's current food output is enough to feed 12 billion. The problem is efficient distribution.

The places in which fertility rates are high are in less developed areas (this is where I get to blame religion a little- especially the damned Catholics), where there is no access to contraception, they do not know how to use contraception, or the state religion is against contraception. Solutions? Female empowerment, education, investing in the development of that country.

Even if you don't like religion, executing all religious people would decimate the earth's population so much that we might not recover, leading to an early extinction of the human race. You'd be surprised how many religious people are in charge of such things as food, production, transportation, etc.

Good luck trying to do it with religious Islamists!

They'll execute you first.
