is this what we're going to do today?

we're going to have a religious debate in an ibis thread?

it hasn't started but this subject matter, though innocent, is just begging for someone to be offended

who is debating? lol.

so far, michelle asked a good question, and there has been one or two decent responses, a random-ass jpg, rape being glad phelps dies, and Sin...i don't know if he was trying to say. while its possible he was just saying he is a western baptist, i doubt he'd say that. mostly because its not trollish enough. he probably was trying to say westboro.

no no, everything is perfect as it is, so far we're in the clear

but the subject matter of religion teeters constantly on the brink of one person being offended, then people being offended at them being offended, it perpetuates and we have a bunch of people crying in a thread

i was just pointing out the ease of which it is for this subject matter to pollute a thread :-/

the problem isn't belief in religion. anyone can believe what they want, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone else in any way. what is depressing though is willful ignorance. someone who says the earth is 6000 years old for example...i'm actually ok if you believe that. you could simply not have had the contrary evidence presented to you in an understandable way, you may not be able to comprehend contrary evidence...stupidity is forgivable. unfortunate, but forgivable. however if you reject any and all evidence against that assertion simply because it's not what you believe, and anything that's not what you believe is the work of an evil demon, that's depressing as fuck.

for example, if i explain evolution to someone and they just don't understand how it works, they can believe whatever they want about it. i can't help it if they can't understand. but if i explain evolution and they have full knowledge of how it works and all the evidence supporting it, but reject it solely because it's not what they believe...that's willful ignorance and arrogance, and that's much less forgivable than an inability to comprehend.

Anything that put black people here on purpose is a flawed and cruel entity.
