It may be unpleasant for believers to hear that religion is rubbish, but don't I have the right to say it?

Question

I always say it politely, but I continue to say it. Of course, I also love to argue about religion, but my underlying attitude is that religion is a farcical, bizarre, outmoded and illogical way of thinking.

Answer 1

Yes you have that right and as you say you do it politely

That said I am with you on this subject. Politely it's a load of old bolony (bollox)

My general gripe is that non-believers are slated for their way of thinking and the big god thing is rammed down our neck and we must be EVIL for dearing not to think lile them

I believe that if they leave me with my belief then I will leave them with threirs.

How is it that the way of religion is the only way.

Enid Blyghton and JK Rowling wrote a goo story or two so why not the bible, just a collection of good old stories. Why does it have to be true

That should stir them up a bit

Answer 2

You can say what you like, unfortunately for you and other like-minded atheists, saying something (however frequently) doesn't make it fact. I think atheism is not only rubbish, it is totally illogical, and If want an argument about the existence of God based on logic and reason, I am quite willing to give you one. But be very careful before you accept, because you have obviously swallowed a lot of atheistic propaganda over the years, and you may be very shocked to have your eyes opened and to realise how you have been hoodwinked..

Answer 3

The right to say it doesn't make it RIGHT. I could walk up to a tree and have the right to say "you are not a tree, you are a figment of my imagination, and if I say it enough and curse you enough you might just go away, and if I close my eyes, I don't have to look at you, and if I argue long enough that you are not a tree, then maybe I will convince you." I have the right to say this, in a polite way of course.
But, guess what? When I open my eyes and stop arguing, the tree is still standing there, still a tree. My choosing to call it something else or hating it for what it is did not change it.
So, yes, you have the right to say what you like, it doesn't change the truth.
Do I have the right to feel sorry for you? In a polite way, of course.

Answer 4

Yes, as long as you don't seriously offend anyone. If you make someone cry, or someone extremely angry, then it's not okay. Debates over religion are fun and informative, so i would say that if you aren't emotionaly scarring someone for life, you have every right to say it. Religion is rubbish anyways, in my opinion. The only religion I sort of support is Wicca, because it has to do with nature, and i've always seen that nature is sort of supernatural.

Answer 5

Yes, you do have that right, the same as I have the right to share with you the changes in my life since I turned it over to God.

But, the difference between us is, I don't like to argue religion. I might discuss it with you, but I don't debate. I don't need to defend God to you. I am His witness, not his defense attorney.

One of the most wonderful times I ever spent was on a plane trip for 9 hours, sitting next to a Hindu couple, who carried their little god with them. Being a Christian, and I told them so, we had a nice talk, both respecting eachother's beliefs.

Bottom line is, you have the right to discuss and even disagree, but you don't have the right to ridicule, critizice and hurl insults.

Answer 6

And even though I am a witness of jesus christ, i agree with you in intent.
there are societies in history that have not been rubbish.
but as the words of God called all religions of the world to be an "abomination" I think even God would agree. But i would also think he would ask people to try to correct the institutions of religion and get your own candle of knowledge and let it shine above all others.
but that begs the question! how many people has GOD personally asked to do this very same thing and you have stereotyped all people, including these such people, into a trash can of ignorant people. ?

Answer 7

Of course. People have died to secure that freedom. What ever faults the UK has, at least you can express that view without the risk of having your head chopped off. Some other countries are not so tolerant.

Answer 8

Yes by the laws of man you do have the right to say what ever you like. But concerning God and whosoever mocks him he very plainly says in

Galatians 6:7; be not deceived; God is NOT mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, that he shall reap.

Proverbs 14:9; says that fools mock at sin

Proverbs 1:26; he says I also will laugh at your calamity; and I will mock when your fear cometh.

So it's not unpleasant for this Christian, But what is, Is to know that unless you repent it is going to be very unpleasant for you.. That makes me sad.
For You see I have read the end of the Book, And you know what "My God" Wins..
That is Elohim, the creator of heaven and earth, El-Shaddai, God Almighty
Adonai, My Lord and My Master who is Jehovah the completely self existing one.
Jehovah - Nissi who is My Victory..
You see rather you believe it or not, There is none who can compare to My God.
WHO WINS!!!!!!!

Answer 9

Yes you have a right to voice and discuss your opinions, this is the only way we as individuals and societies learn and progress. However everything must be done in a civilised manner as not everyone will agree with you

Answer 10

Go ahead, the floor is yours.

Actually I have no quarrels with you having and politely speaking your point of view. I think freedom of speech is essential to a progressive society. What I take issue with is that nowdays not only Christianity, but also heterosexuality is being squashed due to unethical lobbying that suggests that we DON'T have the freedom of speech.
