The Spreading of Religion
Here's the thing:
The spread of a religious tale is commonly named "Spreading the word" and can also be known as "The holy deepthroating" "Bible bashing" or "Being annoying" It's 1AM so I'm going to let this sink into your mind as I sleep.
I actually find both sides pretty annoying sometimes. Both those who "push" their religion, and those who "push" Atheism or anti-religion. As far as I'm concerned, believe in what you want but when it hurts others, then it's wrong
Religion gives people hope and faith, if someone is religious they are so because they believe in an afterlife. We all doubt if what we preach is fact/truth, an atheist doesn't believe in an afterlife and that you just die, well what if there is an afterlife? according to all religious texts every nonbeliever will be damned unless they convert, so IF there is an afterlife I suggest you stick to a religion. TRUE there are no facts to support any religion, but there are no facts that can dispute it either, to be honest I could care less about people who I have nothing to do with whatsoever, you do you.
Sad thing to say, they don't care, they are not that advanced to think about their end. They wouldn't be scared with hell just like those fake Christians who really don't believe in God, they just participated coz they fear hell so much.
Some people won't buy that "what if's", they want a certain answer coz these people don't want to be fooled.
Yep religion gives hope to the religious, not on other people.
No , there one argument that disputes religion and you subconsciously said it. "There are no facts to be found in religion" , so now that it don't have, what's the sense of believing it.
Religion only affects those who got nowhere to go
You know people get tired, make mistakes, fart, feel guilt and embarrassment, the only thing that would remove this things out of their head is comfort from their loved one, but if someone doesn't find comfort to anybody, they end up hoping to a God they wished to exist.
Also, Christian don't come because it's real or it's because they have the evidence, it's because they get their courage and strength from Jesus. So basically you are saying the truth when you said there are no facts.
If you can't see the point, you must be the hypocrite I speak of.
Let me make it plain to understand. We have been hearing from the Left and non believers how they do not like it when religious people voice their beliefs and opinions to help spread the tenants of their religion.
These same hypocritical people, screaming the loudest when other's mention their faith, are the very people who are FORCING their political correct humanistic beliefs onto all the world!
The point I am making is very simple to see. You get the point but you don't like it when we show the hypocrisy. Try staying on the topic!
Those on the Progressive humanistic Left want to be the only ones spreading their Liberal politically correct Doctrine.
Isn't it funny how important it is for Democrats to force other's to support something so controversial as abortion?
Hello From:
You should excuse me for answering over here instead of the thread in question.. Unfortunately, you've BANNED me, and this is the only way I have to communicate with you..
Let's be clear, NOBODY is forced to have an abortion. But, if you had your way EVERY pregnant woman would be FORCED to carry her baby to term..
This is why you are banned. You just spewed complete Deception AS ALWAYS!
I Have told you a thousand times that I support life of mother abortions, and that the Republican Party supports extreme case abortions.
Yes, we force all Americans to re frame from killing each other for any reason. We have laws protecting innocent life. People like you are no better than animals, giving no value to our most innocent viable unborn babies.
You deny every viable baby it's right to life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, all under the guise of "CHOICE".
For anyone to deny that our tax dollars are helping Planned Parenthood fund their abortion clinics, is beyond deception. It is outright corruption to suggest such lunacy.
Hello again, From:
With apologies to the OP. This is the ONLY place I can rebut these arguments, so I ask for your leave to do so here..
It's NOT lunacy.. It's the LAW.. It's called the Hyde Amendment.. Here's what it says:
.. the Hyde Amendment is a legislative provision barring the use of federal funds to pay for abortion except to save the life of the woman, or if the pregnancy arises from incest or rape.
I'm sorry, I don't think you understand. There's nothing wrong with having a religious belief. But with no photographic evidence, physical evidence, or other form of evidence, I cannot take you seriously when you scream at the top of your lungs "God is real!" I was forced to go to church my entire childhood. Guess what happened? Atheism was dissed and mocked and called crude names. You don't see atheists going to church to plan fire on pride parades or mock Christianity. I don't find having a correct state of mind hypocrisy. Christians wonder why they're made fun of when they're just as dumb as they think atheists are. This is when I became a religious anthropologist who studies religion instead of brainwashing myself with bibles.
Who is screaming at the top of their lungs that "God is real"? Get real and stop showing your anti Christian bigotry!
The only people I hear screaming today are Liberals. We hear them screaming the LGBT doctrine at the top of their lungs, every single day.
Why is it you so easily ignore the science of biology, and grasp onto the Left's humanist doctrine that does all in it's power to brainwash people to believe a lie, forcing every State to change their marriage laws, allowing so called Transgender men into women's bathrooms, forcing public schools to allow boys who think they are girls into our daughter's bathrooms. Talk about extremist arrogance.
You don't believe in a Christian God. You believe in the God of mankind (humanism), and you think it is ok for your religion to force it's will on others.
I have never attended any Church that screams in people's faces! All I ever hear in Church is how we should love one another. Stop with your deception and using the acts of a minority of Churches to paint your bigoted anti christian narrative.
Do you understand how our bodies are designed? If you do, why would you support this constant LGBT agenda of screaming in people's faces who do not deny science.
Do you think Homosexuality is a normal natural thing? If you do, then you have been brainwashed by the religion of humanism.
If you vote for the Democrat Party, you are supporting a Party that screams in everyone's face, that we should all deny the science of biology.
Every person on the planet should be treated with decency and love, but this does not mean we teach our children that homosexuality is a natural and normal sexual orientation.
the Left's humanist doctrine that does all in it's power to brainwash people to believe a lie, forcing every State to change their marriage laws,
Hello again, From:
Are we back to this? Dude!
It wasn't the left who forced states to change their marriage laws.. It was the Supreme Court.. And, they DID it based on the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.. I thought right wingers LOVED the Constitution.. No, huh?
Fortunately, the founders didn't use any big words when they wrote it. For most of us, it's EASY to understand. In truth, the 14th says that if YOU have a right, then EVERYBODY has that right.. Consequently, if RIGHTS come with marriage, and they DO, then EVERYBODY is entitled to those rights..
That's HISTORY.. You don't LIKE it, so you LIE about it.. And, even though I've corrected you again, you're surely gonna LIE about it again..

Hello A:
Nahhh….
You only listed two factions: Believers and those who HATE believers.. But, there's a third faction: People who don't give a shit.
Being raised in a Christian family, I think my background is valid enough to state my opinion: I do not hate believers. There are many believers who I take a lot of interest in. You can call me agnostic, but I believe in mythology such as Satanism and Catholicism for the experience, I don't have any real faiths in religion such as those. Religion CAN be damaging if you grow into it. Many "healthy Christian families" (especially involving children) force the "holy word" on the youth, raising them to think they'd to to hell if they did not listen. Many gain the intelligence to get past their parents, some become brainwashed and do not plan to change religious beliefs. I read biblical word to privately make fun of it, make sense of it only to find out the words cross themselves, and then discontinue. Biblical word is commonly followed because the followers are afraid of their Gods, so afraid that they pretend to love their Gods, like a rape victim to their attacker. Many controversial topics including: Sexual Orientation, Skin Tone/Ethnicity, and Gender Roles/Identity are all rarely mentioned in the bible for God to earn more followers.
you can ask any number of people one religious question and you get the same number as you did in people you asked in different answers but its your job to decide which one is unique or lets say holy to find the true answer
