Do you feel threatened or uneasy about the religious population

[DTCwordfan]

Personally I do not as most religious people keep their views to themselves and if that is how they feel about their God, so be it.

However I do have a problem with the type of evangelical person that pontificates to others, tryng to force their views on to them, the Jehovah's Witness type, some of the "bizarre" minority religions who take to the street with the "End of the world is nigh, convert to Jesus" type messages.

I do not have an issue with folk who are well-read and can construct a good aregument, well founded on their beliefs and creeds but i can not stand those who blithely cut and paste texts from others' web sites. Isn't this rather disingenuous of them and doesn't it risk devaluing their religion and those who are learned and respected practitioners?

I also have an issue with people blatantly lying about their religion, and those not being straight up and rather subversive in their avoidance of being being challenged, such as we are finding on here.

Are they not debasing their religion in doing this?
What will their God and Satan think of them?

What do you think?

Goodlife, more wishful thinking. Wrong God I'm afraid.

"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings." Albert Einstein

Funny how religion tries to use the demon science when it thinks it can help its cause. ;o)

Goodlife, //All such knowledge is truth beyond the reach of science. //

Actually, that brings another Einstein quote to mind.

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods."

I suspect that some of us on here are not atheists at all, we just don't keep banging on about what we personally choose to believe - and if we don't happen to agree with the methods of the posters who keep pontificating, that doesn't mean that we are lost causes.
