All religions are the same: religion is basically guilt, with different holidays.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. ~Dalai Lama
Religion is...
Makes no sense to me either, but I'm sure there are alot of things that we all do in life that don't make sense. While you are more than entitled to your beliefs, you should never make light of someone else's beliefs.
This may be a bad question to ask but: what about Christianity is so silly?
Welcome to the forums.
I am an Athiest myself, but choose to believe that if a religion or faith helps a person to have strong morals and live a better life than how can it be silly?
Awesome, thank you for posting those. I feel a bit better now.
And Ellen Johnson totally pulled the abusing children card, classic.
I also find it funny how the 2 women in the video from the original post and the 'Reverend' in the second video from Nanda are the rudest most ignorant people I...
Wow, that just ****** me off.
Fact of the matter is, this is not a 'Christian Nation'. 'One Nation Under God' wasn't added to the Pledge until 1954 because of the threat from the Communist Soviet Union and their restriction, if not elimination of religion.
This nation is not built upon just the...
I've been known to cause cancer.
I don't watch TV. TV rots your brain like it's crack cocaine.
I look up the news online so I can get more sources.

I believe people naturally want explainations for things and when they don't find those explainations they tend to 'make things up'. Why does the sun rise and set, well some dude in a chariot (Apollo) pulls...
I quit playing WoW about a month ago. Played Alliance starting out and then got wise and went Horde. Had to stop, to much going on in life with a new person making things worthwhile. So, instead of cracking out on a videogame for a few hours a night, I get to listen to how someone else's day...
I've never had Mormons knock on my door, it was always Jehovah's Witnesses, and they usually have the entire family with them. I try not to be rude or mean to them, just tell them I don't have time or I'm not interested and they leave me with a Watchtower magazine pamphlet (which I have an...
Sorry, brings this to my mind:
Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made.

I was raised in and still live in the southern US (Alabama) but have been blessed with never having the drawl and southern accent. But, I once spent a week in New Orleans, LA (about 2 hours from my location in AL) with some family from over there and picked up the accent in no time. No idea what...
As an Atheist, I wouldn't really count as a religous person, depending of course upon your definition of religion. But nonetheless, I find it beautiful and liberating in a way to no longer fear punishment or redemption after death. I am rewarded/ punished in the here and now for what I do/ don't...
