The link didn't work but I think most religious ranters, no matter what religion they are, are either (1. Trolls or (2. people with too much time on their hands and NO friends.
Just looked at the link and I say it's definitely #2
Peace and blessings, W.

I don't like it. I wish people would be nicer especially when sensitive issues about religion are concerned.
I do think it is very eye opening to see some of the more skewed points of view on all sides of the issue. I can see why the world is such a mess.

I think that anyone that really believes that their religion gives them the right to judge others is brainwashed.
I can rant for years about the things that have been done to my ancestors. 2 sets of them Celtic and Native American.
however the only time that i really get to ranting is when i see people that are completely intolerant of the beliefs of other peoples beliefs.
I always have to ask
"how does what i believe in HURT you?"
and this can be applied to almost all social situations. there are only 2 things that i can think of that someone could believe is OK that really is not ok.
1, murder.
2, Child sex.
if you think that killing someone that is not trying to kill you is ok. or you think that having sex with children or molesting them is OK. then something is very wrong in your head. and if you use religion to validate this then something is really f***ed up in your head...(yeah that is meant directly to Warren Steed Jeffs and every other sicko like him).
other than that i cannot see where you believing in Jesus Christ and worshiping him every Sunday and me believing in Cunnerrous (the horned god) and worshiping him every full moon. somehow translates to you and I cannot be friends.
this is insane to me. especially when Jesus taught people to Love thy Neighbor...not love thy neighbor.. unless he be of different background or religion than you.

In every group (politics, religion, science, ect..) there is always a rant and raver. Just some groups bother people more than others for some unknown reason.

it depends on what they're ranting about.

I think extremism harms the cause no matter what side you are on.
