okay, i see a lot of people on here who are religious and every single time someone who doesn't believe in god makes a comment they say, "you're just closed minded" or some weak ass arguement like that. I don't think it's necessarily being closed minded, I think it could be knowing what you believe in. For religious people they know what they believe in, whether there is a god or not is up for discussion, but a lot of people talk shit to athiests because they don't believe the same thing. NEWS FLASH.....not everyone believes the same thing as you...There are a lot of ignorant mother fuckers on here that don't seem to realize that. At one point in my life I believed in god, but through higher education and several life changing experiences, I don't believe there is a god anymore and people always try to argue with me about it.....I don't understand why people feel the need to convince me (or anyone else) that there is a god. Just thought i'd say that, seems like some people need to read that and let it sink in to the mush inside their skull. :dead:
closed minded?

that's exactly what i'm talkin about....i get that shit everywhere....not just on here, but at my school. i was in a philosophy class and we were going over religions and the teacher had a unit on atheists...hella people got mad about it and shit...but when she talked about it nobody said shit except me and my home boy (we both don't believe in god) and everyone jumped on our backs and talked shit....but we never talked shit about their religion when it was being discussed....i thought that religious people were supposed to be tolerant or some shit? Most of the ones I've met are fuckin pricks who are stuck on their stupid book....and for those that say "the book wasn't re-written only retranslated".....HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW? WHERE YOU THERE? I DIDN'T THINK SO. Okay, I am done.
Same kind of experiences with me too. It reminds me of that Jackass episode, when that guy was dressed up as the devil and stood outside of a church. Then a christian wacko punched him in the face and shit. Type of shit is that? I thought jesus teaches to love thy neighbor and all that other shit?
And then you got some christians on here, bumpin brotha lynch sayin, "yeah dawg that was tight, he said he's eating babies! Rad!" but then get offended when someone says they don't believe in god. WTF?

I'm sick of people telling me what to believe and what not to believe. As far as I'm concerned there are some atheists (some who frequently post on this board) who are just as ardent and nutz as those Jehova's witness' and right wing bible thumpers. These people are so insecure about their beliefs that they need to constantly vidicate (through their attempt to persuade and convert others) that their ideas are right. No matter what your spiritual, moral, or religious practices are, the is a key word, BELIEF!
If you put a priest, a rasta man, a rabbi, a buddist monk, and an atheist (or agnostic) head in a room, who holds the truth?
In life be it belief or fact, there are three side to every story: Your side of the story, my side of the story and the side of the TRUTH. Everything gets twisted because everyone wants to pull the truth towards them, but can't b/c the truth is absolute and is standing right there.
Bottom line is people need to RESPECT everyone's beliefs and let what works for them be. Do your thizzle n' I'll do mine (as long as it don't harm others along the way).
Real Chop...
