I am not going to name names but some people here seem to think just because they use obscure words it makes them seem smarter. The anti religion rants on the internet are now bordering hostile.

Just because some extremist religious groups are up to what they have been up to for thousands of years and spew hate, all other religious are lumped with them and are treated as villains.

Some "Anti-Religion Superhero Types" feel like they are doing the right thing by putting down peoples beliefs while becoming the very same thing they are railing against. What a beautiful world we live in.

Just wanted to briefly address this second point.

Has a single person mentioned anything in this thread about extremism? No one has said anything along the lines of all religion does is promote flying airplanes into towers and blowing up ophanages.

Did you even bother reading any of the thread at all?

ALL religions share a common theme - faith. This is the most vile word in the dictionary. It promotes delusion and irrationality. The pervasiveness of people using this term as a building block is extremely profound. Faith is not an argument for belief. It's actually asserting that you have no argument for your belief at all.

This is why I detest religion. It practices indoctrination of children through dogmatic principles. It's essentially coercion. 

Extremism doesn't only mean flying planes into buildings... It could mean extreme hate for another group of people that don't share their beliefs and forcing people to their faith  (as the comic showed). As hard as it is for you to apparently understand, most religious people are actually quite rational and don't force their beliefs down other people's throats. I think that part of religion is evolution of understanding. It came a long way from the witch trials as you may see.

 

I find it sickening that you choose to put other peoples beliefs and dare I say it... way of life with seemingly no provocation at all. An once again my point is bolded.
