athiest.. would you say... that all religious people..?

Question

are entiteled to their believes?

caught one!!!! I belifes!

caught two! do you fell superior now?

Answer 1

you have your choice we have ours

Answer 2

The guy that shot 33 people at V. Tech. had religious beliefs, and apparently outplayed them.
People are entitled to thier beliefs as long as they don't break the law. Child molesting is breaking the law. I guess if an atheist does it, they would go to jail, but if a religious person does it, thats ok, God told him to.

Answer 3

ABSOLUTELY. Even better is that if we all had better knowledge about all other religions, as different as they may be from our own, there would possibly be less conflicts over religion. Although there will always be those who feel that their beliefs are the truth and will try to make everyone else believe and live as they do.

Answer 4

I'm an atheist and I think that people who are religious are entitled to there beliefs. If you have a debate which I have had many studying Religious studies. No matter what you say to them which goes against there religious beliefs and you try to prove them wrong i.e that couldn't of happened because it's been proved scientifically. No matter what you say they will always believe in there religion because that's there faith. people who are extremists i.e jehovahwitness are just brainwashed people and I think that they shouldn't be entitled to believe because they try to ram it down people throats and there childrens. people should have the right to choose.

Answer 5

Yes everyone is entitled to their beliefs, however they are not entitled to legislate their brand of morality (i.e. gay marriage should be considered from a social impact rather than from religious prejudices) or to try to have creation stories taught as science or an alternative to science. I have no problem with creation stories taught in the appropriate classes and respect should be shown to all not just the Judeo-Christian one.

Answer 6

I'm not an atheist, but yes, I agree that all people are entitled to their beliefs. (As they are entitled to an education and the use of a spell-checker)

All people are entitled to their beliefs. They are not entitled to force those beleifs on others. They are not entitled to legislate the morality of their religion as the law of the land. They are not entitled to teach the beliefs of that religion as scientific fact in schools. They are not entitled to trespass or to disturb the peace.

Answer 7

Certainly. People are also entitled to believe that the earth is flat, that the moon is made of jarlsburg, and that mickey mouse is the name of the starting pitcher for the boston red sox.

People are entitled to be wrong, think wrong, act wrong, live wrong, have faith wrong, hate wrong, kill wrong, dress wrong, eat wrong, procreate wrong, work wrong, play wrong, etc...

and I am entitled to hate them, disrespect them, mock them, punish them, prejudge them, discriminate against them, blaspheme them, chastise them, and hold them generally in low regard.

What makes a right or privelege "good" or "just"? What would make it "evil" or "wicked"?

I propose that the Abrahamic Traditions are ultimately harmful to our progress as a species, are therefore EVIL, and must be halted immediately.

Do I have the right to think that?

Do I have the right to act on it?

Answer 8

Everyone is entitled to belief. Imposing those beliefs as a moral guide and using them as an authority to persecute others, which many religious people do, is not an entitlement and should be challenged.

Answer 9

It is fine to entitle one to one's beliefs where they don't interfere with the rights of others. For example, blue laws are stupid and they impose some religious beliefs and make me have late champagne brunches when in Atlanta. Its lame plain and simple.

Answer 10

Everyone is entitled to believe in anything from a God to a little green alien.
What they shouldn't do however is expect others to share those beliefs and then threaten them with Hell and Damnation if they don't.
Pointless anyway if you don't believe in Hell either.

Answer 11

Absolutely, just as I would insist that they enjoy the benefits of universal education and learn how to spell words in English; words such as "atheist," "entitled" and "beliefs" for example.
