"Too Religious"
- Thread starter Nebulous
- Start date
I feel that those who are "too religious" should just keep it to themselves.
as soon as people stop thinking for themselves and let their religion start doing their thinking for them..... as soon as the only way they can justify themselves are from quoting their holy book, as soon as they think that they are better, or 'more saved' than someone else because of their beliefs, as soon as their religion can justify their actions, then religion has gone too far.
I think "too religious isn't really realistic to say. 'religious' itself has a big effect and you would only call someone religious if they practiced religion a lot so "too religious" doesn't really exist.
Too religious is pretty much people who take religion to a personal level and make their own rules based on their perspective and opinions on of their own religion.
Religious wars for one are a great example and people who hate others because of their religion is going way over board.
I do acknowledge that religions have caused wars in the past, only one continues to do so today that I am aware of, if you know of any others please feel free to share. However, comparatively, wars that have been caused by religions are not as high as wars caused by debt also known as money. Religion will continue to cause wars? Again only one (as far as I know) continues to act in the medieval mind set. Most have been moderated to be understood and taught in modern times.
It is a fact that there are people bred to hate another religion or tribe. They are told so from a very early age that this is how it is. And sometimes no matter how much schooling they may get, that is a part of their life and culture. And I am not even talking about child soldiers. There are people in this world. Educated people. That still hate due to their religion. They don't fight for personal gain. They fight to wipe out their opposing side.
A great example of this is that Muslims and Christians don't agree with another. Look at 911. Just look at where that little Jihad got the Muslim terrorists working under Bin Laden and the effects it still has on people today.
A lot of people that I know, don't like Muslims and I don't mean that as a racist or religious remark. But its true. Ever since than, if you see women robed in black with their Muslim husbands in public. People tend to look and talk shit.

I call those people zealots or fanatics.
We should include being to atheist in that group also. Since atheist leaders have killed far more then religious zealots. But the middle east these days is determined to break that record.

i didn't know atheism is a religion...

since religion dominated most of the civilized humans and it's worlds, i'm going to bet that this statement is grossly inaccurate...
But the middle east these days is determined to break that record.
break what record?

i replied to your post above, you're the one that ignored it...
i have complete control over myself and i have more will than you to keep on a subject, you're the one that likes to change the subject in debates...
Again act like a adult and not a little child and show for at least one topic you can keep from making it personal.
