The thing is I'm amazed at the slanging matches these folks are indulging in all in the name of Religion. Personally, I feel the Religion child board should be eliminated because it's causing so much insanity.

All Religions should be eliminated from this planet.Religions are causing insanity.Religion's For Drop Outs.
People hold on to religion, like a crutch because they can't make it any other way. With religion you stop being responsible for your own actions and blame someone else like God when it's something you like and the Devil when it's something you don't like.

it's not that being religious is bad. it's just the fact of making mockery of it.

@topic,
It all depends on who are being referred to as 'Fanatics'. As davidylan has said in some other thread, there are some he has eruditely tagged as members of the CCCA - and I would have to agree with him.
If talking about publicly affecting issues is now to be interpreted as being fanatical, the simple thing to do is ignore the threads/topics/motherboards that elicit such concerns to the reader.
There are people who pretend to be accusing others of being 'fanatics', but who still haven't realized that they number first on their list of accusations. The question then is: where do we draw the line??

@mukina2, Just on my lunch break, but here: FANATIC: Someone who takes seriously something for which you have no interest. That should sum it up, I guess. And if it does not, then something more: Full of Fanatics? yeah Glad to know.
Where? all threads Including the ones you opened in this motherboard, yes? How? check them They know who they are. When? everyday With well over 15,000 posts, we can now make some useful guesses. Why? ask them yes, that's why I'm asking you - because I knew you would not be able to resist commenting on my input here! Which? look well I still dey look, and the answers are quite revealing. . .  Who? you , him and him and her and her plus him and her and another him infact too much Ahh there - rearrange the letters, and it comes close to spelling your username. Sweet. Here, gee me a high five!! |

When those who do the insulting answer that question, we'll synthesize them and you'll see where the problem is. |

Why Is It That Nairaland Is Full Of Fanatics? Quelle fanatics? |

Actually, Sharn06 did not use the correct words. he should have said: "Why is Nairaland Full of Bigots?" A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own. The origin of the word bigot in English dates back to at least 1598, via Middle French, and started with the sense of " religious hypocrite", especially a woman. Bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to prejudices even when these views are challenged or proven to be false. the most famous bigots on nairaland typically start topics/posts in the guise of questions/inquiries about Islam. Their real aim, as always is ridicule . if you doubt this just look at the posts by davidlyan, nossycheek, olutomiwa and mr pataki (the usual suspects)on this thread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-55596.0.html |

Thank God for intellectuals who can openly admit certain trends even though they may have intended it for others. @oyb, I guess both words (and some others as well) are quite applicable. Just make take your pick - bigots, fanatics, zealots, etc. The point is that we should all grow up and deal with issues instead of playing games. |

who is intolerant of opinions i think this is the important bit; being able to TOLERATE and as it becomes almost a verb, does this not mean that it is something that WE CHOOSE to do and not some "feeling" that comes on us. so people, you want to fight the flesh, let us start with doing some TOLERATING - action word!! |

but dear sir, how many of the views held by your so called 'bigots' have been proven to be false? so once m yview is merely challenged (not necessarily defeated) and I hold on to it I am a bigot? then sign me up please! |
