Alright, here we go with the explaination...(gonna try not to rant too much)
here on DA (and a few other places) I have seen or heard comments by people of a certain belief system, that say they have their beliefs because logic supports it. ok if those are your beliefs, ok. believe what you want. but when you start implying that to believe in God means that you are simply brainwashed by society to believe it or imply that I reject logic because my proof of God's existence doesn't suffice your beliefs, then you are a jackass!!! and I freaking swear, I am going to go off on the next person who makes such a comment!!! having faith does not make us weak. It does not mean we are brainwashed. It does not mean that we cannot think for ourselves. And it does not mean that we do not rationalize events that are out of the ordinary!!!
Anyone who makes such comments is arrogant, stupid, and I swear I am going to go off on the next person that says something like that!
Completely respect that. The one thing I have against religion is the hate against gays, and the problems it causes my friends. Other than that, smooth sailing.
I completely understand and agree with your comment. I hate organized religion, but I don't think that every one who follows whatever beliefs and have faith are brainwashed. Some can be, but blanket statements are just rude.

thanks for the support. I can understand your dislike of many religious groups treatment of the homosexual community. while I myself am religous and don't approve of the homosexual lifestyle, I see no need to attack them in any way. I treat them like I do everyone else, if they are nice to me, I am nice to them. The most I may do is if they start talking about...(how to put this?) gay stuff, I may ask them to respect my wishes and not talk about that kinda thing around me. In return, I will just accept the way they are. its not anything against them, it is just, I can deal with it alot easier if I don't have to keep hearing about. in case you're wondering, I have a friend who has family that is gay, and have had friends who were gay (said have had because sometimes friends grow apart, especially when you're young and going from high school to college and work in retail)
thanks, why can't more atheist be more like you. I haven't seen you make any disrespectful comments reguarding religion. so many atheist that I have seen, for some reason feel the need to try to prove that their beliefs are right by trying to discredit the Bible and trying to say how so many christians are religious only because society has brainwashed them or because they are weak and need a God to use as a "crutch". That way of thinking is just plain wrong. we don't simply blindly follow what the church leaders say. many of us, Including ME, go through a part in our life when our faith is tested. some turn to atheism, some to other religions, and some's faith is strengthened because they found the answers that work for them. its not as they ignorantly put it as being brainwashed to believe. I don't see why they can't just believe what they believe, and let it go. it seems like they of all people would understand letting everyone believe what they want cause if there is no god, why should they care? why do they feel the need to prove to others or justify their beliefs by Trying to discredit mine. I doesn't make sense! and all it does is piss me off, and make me say or do things that I am not proud of and regret.
sorry for the LONG response. I guess I just needed to vent a little more, and seeing as you're atheist and one who I know is considerate of others, you seem like the right person to talk to. it's like how I am christian, but am not proud of those who don't represent us real well.
