ok.....to tell the truth i am athiest and most christians put us athiests down and it really pisses us off no offense to thoes who are christian but those who think athiests are lower then u your wrong where all people we should be treated equal and not dividedly because if divided the to thing stand it might lead to a war so yeah.........but i think this is weird though i cant touch a bible i tried but my hand started to burn :(
very funny. however noone has the right to judge othor people, by doing this we leed ourselves to coruption, crime, and can torture the mind.
i don't know what to say...
your biology teacher is really brave to do that ...he's even teaches biology in a christian school...
what kind of man is your biology teacher...
even though he doesn't like the religion ...he shouldn't do that....
i'm not a christian but my religion also teaches us to respect other people religion...
Another reason christianity brings out much ire is because right now we are still the biggest and being number 1 causes jealousy. It is inevitable.
no matter how big a group or religion gets it should not spike jealousy, the people that are devoted to their religioin should not care what other religions do.Quote:

I also just hate when someone tries to force religion on me. If they want to believe in evil talking snakes and virgin birth, that's cool but have no intention of being a part of that....not anymore :/
If anything though, I envy Christians. Sometimes, I wish I could believe that we were all created by that magical wizard in the sky and that all we had to do is follow those ten commandments and make our way into paradise. I'm not just being sarcastic here. I mean thinking that you know what's gonna happen after death has to give you the greatest feeling.
I don't think your Biology teacher is disrespecting their religion. He's just opening them up to what others believe. If all they know is "God God God" then that's just forcing them into a religion via ignorance. Unless he's telling them that they should not believe in God, he's done no wrong.Quote:

I would imagine that if you would like to teach people your point of view, instead of making everyone pissed at you, and having them think you're full of bs, you should it in a more proffesional, calmed, rational way. What he is doing is disresptectful. Even if someone wanted to talk about how much they hated terrorist, if they were just doing it hillybilly style by just ranting and throwing their hands up in the air, then they are not giving a good argument. The only people that would agree with this type of argument is someone who already thinks the same way.Quote:

But on your second point is balanced this whole Debate, most people hate the way this particular religion gathers followers
(the crusades were built on fear of hell)
(and priests used to go to the door of mourners and ask for a heaven tax to get into heaven)
its as bad as the arabic religion with the whole your way or a pack of Tnt way both of these religions are intolerant and pig headed, preachers should be limited to lessons and helping people like my family have done for generations, the whole and jesus said is the base of this problem, instead of leaving it at that they added into the bible ~which means...~ Like really stop chewing the guys words out just give the people a full translation(all possible meanings) and be done with it.
