Religion is a touchstone. It is only as good or bad as the understanding of the person who holds a belief structure. If they're prone to see things in black and white, with a world filled with evil people who need to be "chastised," then they'll find what they want in some aspect of their religion to justify these beliefs. If they see their god or gods as caring, loving beings, who seek to raise humanity to a similar level, they'll find that, instead.

I think this thread is pointless. Discussing religions in an international forum is stupid.
Keep this stuff private.

How about you let us do what we want? Are you the one making rules? No!
Who are you to tell us what is pointless?? If you don't want to participate in this discussion you don't have to, that's the beauty of an internet forum...

i think that this is pointless. I don't want you to do what i'm telling you, and i don't want to make any rules, I just wanted to state my opinion on this. But if you don't want my opinion, that's okay. I'm not interested in this discussion, anyway.

And by saying that we should keep this stuff private, you aren't telling us what to do...
And you're calling everyone who posted here stupid...

What you did is the same as if someone would be discussing whic cars are better, and someone would post hey this is pointles...
Internet forums are here so you can discuss what you want on them ffs, and if people can discuss which are better PCs or consoles, they sure can discuss about religion...

Why the hostility, Grinder? If you don't like it, don't read it. It's like porn, or going to church. If you don't like it, don't do it.


To the point Borodin made, I think a large percentage of people (I may be influenced by my area because where I live SUCKS) are incredibly extremist in the way they think. It seems to me like there are more of the first group of people you described than the second.

I don't even live in a rural area! Hah. My area is full of "rednecks", many of whom are racists.

THIS happens where I live some too. It sucks.

Well they might live in cities but they're still rednecks at heart, the hopes are they will be assimilated by urban population, not the other way round...
