The Catholic Priests molested kids in the name of their God, hence why the Pope never punished them...

"Lawd Jesus, as I anally penetrate this young child, please don't let anyone find out. In Jesus Mighty Name I pray, Amen"
Re: Religion Against Humanity By Wole Soyinka by Nobody: 8:56pm On Sep 25, 2012
Why didn't all the Catholic Priests get thrown in the jails where they belong??

Molesting kids is a crime punishable by law, period...

shymexx: Lmaoo at this re.tard with a linear thought process talking about atheism... Just because I don't believe in medieval teachings of some allegories that's doesn't mean I'm an atheist...

God damn you are a dumb nigger. Do you not get that my post had nothing to do with atheism? My point is that the same mor0nic reasoning can be used to argue non-sensical things.

E.g., that some random atheist dude was doing whatever he was doing in the name of someone else, rather than for his own reasons.

In other words, your argument is terrible

Religion isn't a hinder to society or humanity but rather how ppl interpret and act out each religion is.
Buddaism is a clear example of a religion that have not provided a negative impact to the world. Christianity, despite attacking and insulting muslims today for their craziness, we had a hand in destruction of many past societies in this world. Remember the crusaders anyone. Is it what the bible taught us or rather how the crusaders interpreted the bible? The nazi justified their killings by illustrating it was the work of God. The neo-nazi till day believe the bible they read told them they are surperior. We equally attack gays on the sole purpose that God condemns it. Yet there are many of us in the world that are tolerant of them but still maintain our fate. Similar to islamic fanatics, I've couple of friends that are muslims, mostly north Africans and few yemens who till this day look down on each muslim fanatics but still maintain their fate. In over all, humans are built in to hurt eachother. Even if we remove religion from the equation, we will find something else to justify our destruction. It is not religion's doing, that is just an excuse.

"I am bringing glory to the name of God by having s3x with this young child."

Clearly, this was the thought process and motivation of those Catholic priests.

After all, any time a Christian does anything, it no doubt has religious motivations, yes?

I chose to have an omelette rather than cereal for this very reason...Jesus spoke to me this morning and told me that an omelette is what he'd prefer for me to have for my breakfast. And that if I eat cereal I'd risk damnation. But if I ate the omelette, I'd receive 77 virgins in heaven

There's no big crime, or small crime - a crime is a crime...

So, saying one religion is more evil than the other is baseless...

Especially when the two religions in question came from the same thing... undecided undecided

So I think there is an element of this. Human beings are just mean by nature. So it doesn't make sense to attribute many of the bad things people do to their religion.

After all, if I run a red light or something, Christianity probably shouldn't be blamed for that.

However, in my opinion, certain religions encourage and enhance the baser instincts of humanity (Islam being a prime example of this), while others promote the positive instincts of humanity (Mormonism being a pretty good example of this, imo).

The Church is the house of God, and Priests are God's representative in human form... So, whatever they do, they do it in the name of God, period...

The priest farted in the name of God, no doubt.

The Pope likes the color blue, therefore this is the official color of Jesus
Re: Religion Against Humanity By Wole Soyinka by ektbear: 9:17pm On Sep 25, 2012
But what if the previous Pope favors red over blue Does this mean God changed his color preferences?

If I use your logic without being sentimental, so because Muslim hate clerics are leaders of the Mosque, if they blow up a plane it was done in the name of God, no??

Nothing in Islam supports terrorism, yet Muslims get blamed for terrorist attacks...

It goes both ways...
Re: Religion Against Humanity By Wole Soyinka by ektbear: 9:27pm On Sep 25, 2012
From the perspective of those killed, the difference is negligible.

But, in a discussion about the evils of religion, the difference is critical: motivation is the heart of the matter.

No difference.

Hypocritical, brainwashed religious individuals want to categorize sins in order to protect the "flaws" in their religion.
Christians may not kill for Jesus, but they pray to Jesus to see them through their evil deeds.
Muslims kill to protect the honor of allah
Atheist kill just to kill (personal reasons)
Others kill for . . . .

ekt_bear: Is Soyinka actually saying that religion in general is harmful? Islam is, yes. But I don't see the argument for Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc being dangerous.

Soyinka was just trying to be politically smart by balancing his speech with statements that could not stand proper scrutiny. He did not want to be seen singling out Islam for deserved castigation. Of course that's obvious to discerning minds.

Islam is inherently violent and against humanity. That's the pure truth.
Re: Religion Against Humanity By Wole Soyinka by Nobody: 9:28pm On Sep 25, 2012
Where in the Qu'ran was it written that Muslims should blow up planes and Christian places of worship??

Show me!!
Re: Religion Against Humanity By Wole Soyinka by ektbear: 9:28pm On Sep 25, 2012
The guys carrying out the terrorist attacks claim that they are fighting in the name of their God. That they are practicing jihad.

So, they say that they have religious motivations for their crime.

Are you saying that they don't?

Eh....he seems to be taking shots at religion in general. In any case, if his focus is on Islam, then I agree. If religion in general, then I disagree.
Re: Religion Against Humanity By Wole Soyinka by Nobody: 9:30pm On Sep 25, 2012
The motivation use by Muslim terrorists are the same ones used by Christian terrorists - and it's their respective belief system..

One is just more violent than the other...

A thief and an armed robber are the same thing...

The only difference is that one carries arms while the other doesn't...
