Religious forums? Seems like a waste of time and electrons. Why post on a forum of which is devoted to a subject of which holds no relevance to one. I don’t knit or fly airplanes. I don’t visit knitting or airplane forums. So why all the none-spiritual people on this forum? Uncertain about one’s belief system? Perhaps.
If I’ve asked this question before, forgive me. I am simply perplexed.

Why do they do it? Because the Anti-Religion haters are so lowdown...they no longer realize they are lowdown.
Which is why they are viewed to be the lowest of the low by the majority of the world. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/and...ist-same-thing
Most unfortunate...I will pray for them.
Luckily, for the world...there are very few of them, and becoming less of a share of the global population.
In my case, I do love to learn about philosophy. To me religious/theological views are not different then different philosophical views in life.
Philosophy is relative to thinking/reasoning in and of itself, which is far different than religious/theological views in life i.e. the very essence of the latter is to deny logical thought.

This makes absolutely no sense. You should be praying for yourself.

Another person who seems to believe that these are praise forums. I'm not a Civil War soldier, and despite being old I'm not old enough to have lived during the Civil War. But if that topic comes up in the history sub-forum, I'm likely to join the discussion since it is a topic that interests me.
Like you, I'm not clear why some religionists are so befuddled about this.
I decided to read that article about how atheists are the lowest of the low, and it reads more like another example of how religious thinking can be so dopey...
"There they are walking along the street, not hurting anything but not believing in God, and every time they pass a church they can feel people looking out the stained-glass window and thinking, “There goes another rapist.” "
Funny that a religious person posts this article as if it's an intelligent contribution to this discussion. Not only is it dopey, but it goes back to 2011 and offers no links to the studies referenced. So who knows about those studies, but apparently one is a survey of 105 undergraduate students. Based on this kind of nonsense, I suppose we're supposed to be convinced all religious people are this dopey? That's what the article seems to be suggesting.
Exactly, many religious people are disgusting, frightened bigots because of straw people posting on the internet.
And he stirs this hatred while supporting religious intolerance.
Who should be tolerant of being insulted and mocked...daily, for years...by people that don't even know them?
Believe whatever you want, and state your views...promote it right to the end...but at the same time let others believe & promote what they do, without slight, scorn, or snub.
I'm not talking about "praise only"...I'm referring to addressing differing views and Beliefs in a respectful and decent manner, even as those differences are noted. Calling people "disgusting, frightened bigots", is not. That's what is demonstrative of hatred.
The Religious base their views on what is written in the most epic and prolific books in human history...their relating that info from their interpretation can never be insulting or derisive...just a relay of what's written.
Those that are Atheist or Non-religious, should put forth their position from their sources...without insult of the contrasting Beliefs/Views.

The bigots have been complaining that they are not being tolerated. I think we can PC up the term and refer to them as "people with bigotry" so we see them and not their handicap.

The bigotry, bias, and prejudice is toward those that get their moral directives and information about life and afterlife from the most epic and prolific books in human history...by those that work off of sources that don't have anywhere near that status.
When the Atheists, or anyone else, can show that they have a more enduring, influential, or trusted basis for the beliefs/views they put forth....they may have a case to present.

I thought we did that with the moral thread. Many of us clearly demonstrated where we got our morals from.
