 So a religious person calling another person religious is hypocrisy?

 

Nope its just making a statment, me being a fanboy wouldn't prevent me from labeling someone else a fanboy 

I dont even know how the hell you got religion/faith mixed into this topic.

Youre basically pointing fingers at people, knowingly useing a negative term i.e fanboy and give yourself the right to judge that counterpart. Go figure.

Obviously it won't, I just saw a prime example a few replies above ;).

 I don't see where I am doing that, all I said was that Fanboy wars epitomize the spirit of religion

 AT,

I normally agree with the content of your posts, but you didn't say that part of religion is to debate others for their beliefs, you said it was "the spirit of religion", i.e. - the main driving force.  To me that says "the primary reason for religion is to disagree/hate/war with others."  I strongly disagree with that sentiment.  I believe the primary reason for religion is to try and give purpose and direction to someone's life in a way that transcends natural law, not to simply be a platform for argument.  I would, however, agree that a fallout of most (but not all) religious organizations is disagreement based on religious tenants.  As a counter example of disagreement I present the Amish.  I've spent time with them, and they're incredibly passive and non-intrusive on the beliefs of others.

 

 Belief is different than religion, belief may give purpose, but religion is an organization and organizations seek control over people, and the best way to control people is to give them an enemy to hate and fear, someone who is different than they are and not "god's chosen people" for example
