To those that are religious...

Religion is a form of terrorism. Terrorism is defined as the systematic use of [u][b]FEAR[/b][/u], using violence or the threat of violence to alter the behavior of others for political, ideological or religious purposes. By [u][b]THREATENING[/b][/u] me that I'm going to hell where i'll be tortured and burned and forced to live through "my sins" for not believing in what you do is a threat of violence. You're trying to use [u][b]FEAR[/b][/u] to control me, thus an act of Terrorism. You can believe it all you want, just don't [u][b]FORCE[/b][/u] your beliefs on me and don't [u][b]FORCE[/b][/u] me to do something I don't want to do. If anything, I worship the Sun. I know it exists, it brings life, keeps me warm, lets flowers and trees grow to give us oxygen, and it can be used to lower my electric bill. Does God or Jesus lower my electric bill? NO!!! THEY KEEP ASKING ME FOR MONEY ON SUNDAY'S!!! I don't need to pray to the sun for anything. If I want something so bad, I work my butt off to get it. If I want to read about morals, I would rather read Little Red Ridding Hood, Humpty Dumpty, or the 3 Little Pigs.

  • Well, think about this way. If Christians really truly believe that [spoiler]and who are we to tell them not to?[/spoiler] they only "warn" us about hell and how terrible it is because they don't want us to go there. The real atrocity is when Christians aren't warning you about hell. Now, there's never a reason to be provoking or disrespectful.

      [b]OP logic[/b]: All use of fear is terrorism [b]OP logic applied[/b]: • Teachers / fear of failing = terrorism • Judicial system / fear of justice = terrorism • Managers / fear of termination = terrorism • Parents / fear of discipline = terrorism • Doctors orders / fear of death = terrorism • Coaches / fear of running = terrorism I could go on and on, but I got bored. It wouldn't hurt to think your thoughts through. This was clearly half baked. I know you're really wishing for the [i]delete post[/i] button, but it's not there.

      • Well, from where I am at least, they don't do the door to door thing. And why are you doing this? You have to go into such specifics, exaggeration, and bordering on the definition of terrorism so much, it's ridiculous. Doing all of this to do what? Piss off people for being religious? To fit in? To go to such lengths to call out most of Earths population sounds like you have some kind of grudge against it. What? What do you have against these beliefs? Some beliefs do cause harm (radical Muslims, Hindus dumping cremations into the Ganges river, etc.) but that is such a small percentage, religion has kept WAY more people from doing unlawful things than making them do them. It's a 99.99% of help and .01% of hurt. That's still 99.98% increase in help, so what do you have against religion? I personally have not met anyone who tried to force religious ideas down my throat, which sounds really annoying even though I'm kinda religious, but if that is your soul argument then you definitely have some kind of grudge against all religion. Do explain your argument, I really don't get it. (I'm serious, I can't really understand your point of view :/ )

      • Run into a mosque or a church and kill someone. I doubt they'll call you a hero for killing a terrorist XD. Mosque maybe >_> but that's from the crazy white demographic. The pure logic is there in your argument but it lacks examples, it lacks personal experience and it doesn't define a line of acts of terrorism and saying you can go to hell. If a parent reprimands there child vocally is that terrorism? Saying "If you don't go to your room you're loosing your toys!" That's fear for the child. But is it terrorism? Most will say no. But then there are people like you. No offense but argue a valid point on something, you obviously have the ability.

          • This thread highlights what's wrong with the world. There are too many people who fail to desire, or appreciate the work that has been written about all of these topics, by some of the most brilliant minds to ever live, of which I am referring to many throughout the history of philosophy.
