PUBLIC OPINION > 60 Percent Believe in Haunted Houses

then what's with the christian obsession with death bed conversions to getting into heaven? if that was the case then preachers wouldn't bother, but they do. mostly because they want to be able to say "see. this person did so before they died . another point for us in the imaginary friend war.."If you want to get technical and base it on which part you believe and which is "heresy" and contradict, only 144,000(12,000 from each of the tribes of Israel) are going to heaven and that's it. no one else. Jesus told his followers that the end of the world and the apocalypse was without a doubt PROMISED to happen within their lifetime *look at my watch*, wow. and...we're here he's dead(if he ever lived) 2000+ years behind schedule on apocalypse, but christians kinda push that aside and forget that part :) flat out obvious that the stories are false and the history is fabricated and imaginary.. All through history people claim gods that the end of the world is coming and they steal all the money they can from followers and suffer from a big feeling of anti-climax since the end NEVER OCCURS.

It's just childish to believe in these stories. Be moral, be kind, and stop believing in religious fairy tales because you think you deserve to feel better than everything in existence and are special(egooo). none of us are perfect, but it's time to throw kids books out that encourage wish thinking on such a massive scale as religions do, I like the morality challenge: "Can you think of a moral statement or action that can can only be done by a person of faith and could never be said by a non-believer? you cannot. Now, can you think of an immoral statement or action that can be only be done because they were inspired by their religion to do so? you've already thought of several before you finished reading this sentence. :) pretty straight forward

Of course I don't agree. You look all through history and the only people you even hear religious people Even ATTEMPING to use as an example of artist immorality is Stalin, Hitler, Mao, maybe a few others with bad ideas. That's it. The rest of the pages of history reek of religious mass murder, genocide, human and animal sacrifices both adult and children, war over petty differences in religious beliefs. Hitler was either still a practicing Catholic or just used his Catholiism to influence soldiers that they were fighting for God and it was righteous for. "Gott Mit Uns" was on the belt buckles made for German soldiers "God with us/God on our side". The Catholic church supported Hitler and his Nazi movement until they realized they would be taken control of and used strictly for NAZI purposes and not allowed to continue their tradition run. Stalin took advantage of the societies beliefs that the csar is leader ndchead of te church and should be considered more than human like a sub-god. He used the creduluous religious upbringing f the country for his own purposes like any religious dictator would, but since he Marxist his atheism is fallacious propaganda that religious use as the reason why he was a bad man, and he was. A non-belief in fairy tales does not imply non-belief in morality. Saying "if you don't belief in something you'll believe in anything" is a complete lie that the religious spread because it sounds like it makes sense to them when it's a really childish insulting view of everyone you meet. I'm non-religious and and I'm secular humanist wth no belief on Gods. And it saddens me when I see the hatred and digusting actions and words spread by "the loving" Christians. Most lie about their decency. Around the world religions are still tearing societies apart. So you cannot tell me that religious people are more moral than I am. A four year old child will be more moral than any religious adult and will stay that way as long as she isn't indoctrinated to hate and think of certain people as abominations, that non-believers are going to he'll so the child can assume from teachings that they are satan worshipers and don't deserve love or humane treatmet only condemnation and threats of her god punishing every human being that crosses her path because she is righteous to be hateful, righteous to e unkind, righteous to do evil if she feels her god wants her to. Religion gets it's morality from us not the other way around. That's why we've outgrown all the evil things that were normal to people everywhere. Slavery, subjugation and treatment of women as equals not as chattle, blood sacrifice, burnt offerings, and most of the other godly endorsed evils of Christianity Judaism and other cults. I'm a better person without something that teaches such wickedness. To believe in the obsurdities of religions is in fact a sign that you'll believe anything Humanist skeptic or religious fanatic, is a no brained. Only one side teaches to treat people like they are below you or has a history of endorsing evil for religious and god ordered purposes. All you have to do is look throughout our history and even out current time we live in and see religion doing what it does best. Spread hatred,prejudice,persecution,... cleansing(genocide), obsession with power control and wealth that they'll murder for it and steal. Control people who are creduluous and cause the deaths of millions that don't realize they aren't holy they're just ego driven evil fanatics who doesn't care about them(Bishop of Rome). Religions preach because they cannot do. Like the saying those who can, do. Those who cannot, teach. And it fits religious groups so well for the most part. Christians are the most prejudice and hateful group in America and the most creduluous who want the rest of the people to live by their laws, not by means ofcliberty and justice of equality and the constitution, but by dogma. They'll make up anything to destroy the freedom of others. I'm scared they're going to start another cruisade to kill everyone not like them. It's pretty much their calling card being religious institutions.
