In this question, a christian informed others that he ate their god.

I answered that question, and told him basically the same thing about his god; I received a violation notice.

Do you think I deserved it? Do you think he did? (you know what to do, right?)

Since it seems to me the question is exactly as right or wrong as the answer, I reported it, but of course it's still there today.

In conclusion: under what circumstances is it OK to tell other people you ate their god?

Exodus 22:18 states, "Suffer not a Witch to live." What does that mean to you as a Christian, or those of other religions?

Because to me as aWiccan it means that Christians should kill Witchs. What say you Christians?

Because fear is the most productive tool these mind control cults have to win over and keep followers.
Source(s):
Remember, "god" is nothing more than a nonsense word created by man to explain away all of the things we can't yet understand.

Religion is a disease of the mind, born of fear, which has done nothing but bring untold misery down upon the human race.
If you can't get someone to convert willingly through preaching, fear is the next best tool.

Christianity for instance is based on two principles:

1. If you believe, you will be rewarded with the prospect of an eternity in Heaven when you die.

2. If you don't believe, you will be rewarded with the prospect of an eternity in Hell when you die.

For Christians:

God is all-loving, all-wise and all-merciful, so long as you submit to becoming a slave - salivating and singing heaps of praises on him for all eternity.

Much like an Earthly dictator who rules his subjects under rule of tyranny - submit or suffer.
Two methods in which religion spreads

1)Violence
2)Child Indoctrination

"let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law, and if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for woman to speak in the church."
1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Guess the Bible takes away the freedom of expression from women, huh?

I work really close to a girl who thinks her dad is an idiot, and answers him back and argues with him. She is 25. I now find myself getting frustrated with her and her attitude. I sometimes now snap back at her. This is not even my style. I been working closely with her 3 months. What should I do? (I can't find another job, she is my business partner)

I will pick on a pagan by asking this question:

What are some of the fun things you do during your festivals and can I join in on the fun?

"Without a personal Creator-God, how are you anything other than the coincidental, purposeless miscarriage of nature, spinning round and round on a lonely planet in the blackness of space for just a little while before you and all memory of your futile, pointless, meaningless life finally blinks out forever in the endless darkness?" asked by 777 (why won't she just crash, boeings aren't that reliable)

So basically we need someone up there caring about us, wanting us to feel loved (by threatening us with never-ending torture) and that we have a purpose - to kiss butt forever and ever amen.

Don't all these arguments amount to - I can't handle a universe that isn't like this - so I refuse to! If you don't like it - refuse to accept its reality. Won't that solve everything?

If morality is only a relative social construct, on what basis could or should anyone ever move to interfere with cultures that practice apartheid, female circumcision, cannibalism, or ethnic cleansing?

Why is it ok for others to place what they believe on us or try and make us accept what they believe but its wrong for us to persuade others to accept what we believe?

Why does research, discovery, diplomacy, art, music, sacrifice, compassion, feelings of love, or affectionate and caring relationships mean anything if it all ultimately comes to naught anyway?

I'm an atheist. I wish other atheists would stop being so petty.

Stop crying when someone spells atheist wrong. It's really not a big deal. Most of the time I don't even notice they got the "e" and the "i" backwards until some anal nitpicker points it out and starts throwing a tantrum.

Stop making such a big deal about "In God We Trust" being on money. I don't think I've ever met anyone who was converted by reading a dollar bill. It's not important.

What is important is talking about WHY people believe in god, and WHY we don't.
