why are you so preoccupied with that others believe and why go to so much trouble to shit on it?

why do you care so much?

right wing extremists are weird.
 
What I find interesting is I agree with most everyone here that Scientology and Mormonism just seem more whack-job.

But if I was really someone with consistency I ought to see them all the same. I can't, though. I'm assuming it's the cultural weight behind the major religions.

As soon as "what others believe" stops shitting on the rest of the population via legislation and policy, I'll stop caring about the ludicrous shit people believe in.

bhuddism, taoism should be listed near atheist. and atheist shouldnt even be listed.

depends on the bhuddism though, some folks have gotten a little crazy about it like treating the bhudda as divine when he preached against this very thing lol

Honestly there's probably some familiarity bias going on. Without explicitly going through each one's doctrine and listing all the bullshit, we might be way off.
 
you mean like legislating where you can and can't pray, policies that require teachings contrary to many religious beliefs in schools

the religion was there before the school systems wasn't it?

Bhuddism contains quite a bit of imaginary nonsense. The *believers* are generally far less crazy and not annoying at all, but the actual belief is still crazy.

I only put atheist as a marker to least crazy.

yeah. will you answer it now?

Well since you're usually decent enough to answer questions, sure.

The answer is I'm not looking to shit on anyone, I'm just interested in what people think (and also why I happen to think certain things).

As Pessimistick said above, familiarity bias is a likely explanation.

oh i keep thinking of it as just a philosophy and way of life. never really read it beyond the basics :shrug:
 
When Buddhism hit Japan it was generally considered too pessimistic to appeal so the idea of the Western Paradise was invented as a kind of Buddhist Heaven, where you would go to achieve Nirvana.

So way before Scientology and Mormonism came along, religions were happy to change doctrine to appeal to new markets.

You're wrong. It originated with christinsanity. Are Atheist Liberals actually Christian Conservatives in blackface? by absent - TribalWar Forums

if that were so then historically the white races during the prime of christianity wouldnt have treated nigs as inferiors. this whole liberal everyone is equal bs began with britain and spread into the US with the south representing the original christians. the atheist component is just the same ignorance sans religion.
