I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens] -

Originally posted by d000hg View PostReally? Do you think most CEOs of gigantic, multinational companies know how many of their employees are gay, let alone how many are pedophiles? It's not like most priests really even come into contact with the pope, and I doubt those who do lead with "so, you can keep a secret right?"
If the number he quoted is inaccurate I would think it would only be too low, and he would be following the Catholic tradition of the clergy lying to protect themselves.I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful.

Originally posted by Unix View PostIn those cases there was some sort of distorted ideology used such as Marxism/Communism, which I would group with religion. Atheism simple means you don't believe in God, anything layered on top isn't Atheism. Any modern Democratic Atheist country such as Sweden is the correct example.
Classic.
Unix - states that religion is the cause of all evil
NAT - demonstrates three recent historical cases demonstrating the falsehood of Unix's belief
Unix - redefines "religion" to meet his argument.
Furthermore, Sweden is not an atheist state, it is a secular state (having recently disestablished its church). That means it is does not support a specific religion, nor does it support lack of religion - it is entirely neutral on the subject. The only non-secular states are the Islamic states, the UK, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Argentina and Switzerland - and the Vatican of course. Even the US is a secular state.
And people say the religious are deluded and ignorant... that also seems to be no respecter of philosophical position...Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
