Agree with you 100%. For most people, however, the only proof that's enough is what they have been taught since childhood OR it's what the majority believes. Not everyone likes to think outside the box, unfortunately, but being open to the opposite and questioning it is what moves you forward.P.S. I was on my friend's comp when I typed the last comment, it's under imraan47, but didn't realize I was not signed into my own account.Good day/night though!

Agreed. It's funny, because there is no proof that there is a God or that there is not. If there were concrete evidence to wither, we would not be having this discussion. It's amazing to me how many people believe they are right with no proof of the same.

True, I am not denying the fact that some atheists can be zealots as well. However, history has proven that it's in fact religous fanatics who cause most damagae in the world when compared to atheists. It's obvously ok to have personal beliefs, it's when the extremes come out that's when it starts to burn.

You in part, denied the fact that Aethiests can be zealots as well. I have found through personal observation that there are Aethiests who harbor the same distain towards people who believe in a God as religious people have towards them. It's not a just a religion problem. It's everyone. EVERYONE believes they are the ones who are right and that everyone else is wrong. There are very few truly open minded people in this world.

I agree with you, partially. Unfortuantely, within religious groups 95% of the people ARE those zealots and fanatics that "are causing 95% of the problems for the rest of us". Look at it in this simple way, EVERY religion will tell its followers that they are right, but at the same time will say that OTHER religions are wrong. So everyone is 'right' AND 'wrong' at the same time. It's a REALLY effective way to divide the population... thus making it easier to control it.

The problem isn't with relgion or non-religion. The problem is that people can't accept each other for what they are, regardless of what they believe. I personally think that every religion or non-religion gets persecuted by the people "on the opposite side" that are simply full of hate and incapable of accepting anyone for who they are. Every group has their zealots or fanatics, and it is usually the zealots that are causing 95% of the problems for the rest of us.

That "reaction to Zahn Part1 -3" thing in the side is awesome.

i agree with you, but "god created everything within 7 days?" Um there are gaps of billions of years between that stuff

2 out of every 5 children i know are atheists or agnostic

The god phrase in the pledge of allegiance should be removed. It was added by the knights of columbus in something like the 1960s to foist their beliefs on the public. It goes against the American Bill of rights and the constitution.
