Here's my thinking and I'm sure I'm not the first to think…See More
Aiken Drums Sister replied to Davis Goodman's discussion 'Awe struck'"I completely agree with the idea of doing away with the use of "spirituality". First off, it's a word about Spirit - it's right there, the word! As a rational atheist I just can't get behind spirit. Second,…"
David Smith replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"yup, no argument, i was drunk and got completely side tracked there.
I couldn't agree more with you though, people shouldn't be able to blame evil deeds on their religion. as I've said before, if you kill a child by…"
SteveInCO replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"I was about to ask if Phil had actually said those things... Then I realized it's not really your point.

Ed replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'""I actually think it's a negative when you say "It's because of my religion" when you say something stupid. It's like saying "... and I said that because I chose not to think about it."."

Pope Beanie replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"Absolutely. It enables the believer to bypass evidence and reality, and enables sociopathic behavior--e.g. from declining immunization to using a suicide vest on innocent people, or even genocide.

David Smith replied to Aiken Drums Sister's discussion 'That's just my religion...'"People have claimed statement to be fact with less basis, at least you recognise it.
