Don't you hate bringing up religion?
 

Every wensday my roommates wife has her mother in law come over and they talk about Jehova's Witness. But I hate when I go and get a drink she brings something up to me. I just want to go, "I'm the devil, and I love 666!" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I've been through all the religion bullshit, went for just about half of my lifetime, and finally at age 13 or 14, I said fuck this, because it was all stupid shit, too many unanswered questions for me to continue. Science has answered more question for me than religion, and I can't believe in, "somebody invisible watches over all of us!"

Well me and his wife go into a debate, and I finally got her with the shellfish, how it is unclean to eat shellfish! :1orglaugh Know religion before you try and talk to somebody who has studied different religions and I've also had studies with the Witnesses before with my best friend. All religions are crazy shit, and maniacs!

The only difference between a religion and a cult is the number of followers :winkwink:

Try telling that to very religious people....really pisses them off heh

Years ago, I stopped trying to convince Christians that they are wrong and decided instead that I would just explain where I was coming from so they could live in peace with me.

Me: "Tell me, do you believe in the Koran. Do you believe in Allah as the one true God. Do you believe Mohammed was right?"

Christian: "Of course, not."

Me: "Why?"

The Christian will give reasons here.

Me: "And tell me, why do you think the Hindus are wrong. Don't you believe in Brahma, Vishnu and Siva?"

Christian "No, of course not".

The Christian will give reasons here.

I keep going on like this. I cover all the major religions, cover some dead religions, throw in some mythologies. I really make them work at it. I try to draw every objection out of them I can.
I ask them how it is they think that millions or billions of people can come to believe religions which aren't true. I ask them what psychological reasons people might have needed to start and believe these religions. (Of course, you can see where this is going)

Then I say "Now if you think of all those reasons you just gave. If you think about all the reasons why you think those people are supersticious and why they are wrong, and why they created those religions and how they spread and how millions and millions of people came to believe them maybe you can see and understand why it is that I don't believe in YOUR religion."
