Lots of bashing for the belief of God....

[Joelcool7]

Well I just got back so forgive me for not reading the whole conversation I will comment on the OP.

I don't think its only here on forums, its actually every where throughout culture. Much like rascism people stereo type others religious beliefs then claim to know more about them then the people who believe them do.

For example I talk about my Christian beliefs and other users (Won't name names) then tell me that Christian's believe (Insert belief here). They then tell me I am either not Christian or that I don't believe what most Christians do.

Its so funny that people stereo type peoples religions to the point that they think they know your beliefs better then you do.

In particular Christian's, being one I get stereo typed and verbally persecuted all the time here and abroad. Uneducated people say I don't believe in Evolution, when infact I believe in Micro Evolution. Others will say I don't believe in safe sex, while I don't agree with having sex before marriage I definatly believe if you choose to have sex you should do so in a responsable fashion. The list goes on, infact I disagree with some beliefs found in other denominations of Christianity.

You can really tell someones educational level if they stereo type like that. Their are over 100 different denominations of Christianity. With all kinds of beliefs, but some people are just so, well uneducated that they make broad and usually idiotic statements.

I love it when Athiests and such tell me I should listen to the Pope because he's my leader. I have a hard time controlling myself I would love to just harp on their ignorance and lack of education.

But you see people of all religions including Athiesm have blind faith in their respective creators whether it be God, many Gods or even a big magical bang or such. The only people who truly do not think they know better then the rest of us are the few that simply admit "You know what, I don't actually know whether their is a God(s) or a magical bang or alien's planting life or what ever, I just don't know". Because people who admit they don't know don't tend to attack people that think they do.

Because honestly I have faith in my religious beliefs just as much as athiests have in theirs. Blind faith in something will always be debated.

But like I said above, the fact is people that lack education are usually the source of this problem, or people educated in other courses. You can be a Math Proffesor and still not know anything about theology. Infact you could be a science major today and still know jack about religious beliefs.

Education is a major stumbling block, and schools today don't educate students in theology. They teach them a few evolution theories and then they are off to University where they learn these few theories in greater detail, still not expanding their knowledge to alternative theology. Then you have a few states/Provinces in various countries where one or two creationist theories are taught alongside evolution. But still those students lack an understanding of other theologies.

But in the end theirs nothing we can do to combat religious prejeduce other then to stick up for each other when those who believe they are smarter then the rest of us decide to pounce and attack our beliefs!
