I am not that intelligent and I know it so I try to learn. Granted the war part was an over exaggeration but your posts in this thread alone show that you believe a lot of things are religion's fault and you believed them arrogantly so there is a rational way to deduce that which I deduced. Deductions aside I don't blame religion or circumstances for what people do because evil is a part of us just like good and in the same situations and circumstances people behave differently this just shows that its the people's fault not their ideology not their beliefs or circumstances but the people themselves. I am not thatthat saint of a person but I have not been tested in a difficult situation nor I presume have you( because you don't seem to have that many problems otherwise a discussion on a gaming site would be the least of your worries) but a lot of people in difficult situations have risen above their evil and hate and a lot have fell flat even in comfortable situations so regardless of if, who or what God is, we were made this way one way or the other and no physical thing in my opinion can change that. |
So, what do you think that I think is religion's fault, and why do you think that I am arrogant in thinking so? Here's my perspective on your list:
1. War - you already admitted you made this up completely
2. Terrorism - I don't recall speaking of terrorism and religion in this thread, and for the record I don't think "religion" is to blame, per se.
3. Stupidity - No.
4. Weird rituals - well, I will cop to this one, but religion is far from the only cause of people making up weird rituals. Don't know why I would be arrogant to think that religion sometimes leads to rituals that to someone else may appear strange or pointless (unless the religious significance is explained to them). I think evidence backs this up.
5. Personal thinking - I guess you mean that I think religion controls your thoughts? No. But any indoctrination, religious or not, of a child growing up can lead them to be sorely mistaken about the world if what they have been taught contradicts all evidence. Example: Jesus and dinosaurs lived at the same time; dinosaurs were alive as recently as human recorded history. If you also believe this, well, my argument just got harder but I stand by it 
6. "Evaluations decisions" or individuals - Obviously a person's beliefs on what is true influence their decision making, religious or not. I don't know what is arrogant about saying this.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
