When it's your faith that inspires love, hope, trust, compassion, empathy, charity, friendship.. then great. When its fear, hate, distrust, ignorance, suppression, oppression and repression then there's something amiss.

Correct me if i'm wrong but that was 500 years ago?
It does'nt quite fit with the thread title 'Should any religion be taken seriously in the year 2015?'
:conf:

religion doesn't inspire any of those things. all of those things exist without religion kizzy. religion is a scam for money and power. when you show me a religion that doesn't give anyone any kind of money and power, then i'll have an open mind about it, but i've never heard of a religion that doesn't claim any kind of money or power from it's followers.

Can someone close this thread please it's painful and discrimatory to people who believe in the religion e.g myself as a Christian

are you crying? are you so upset that you are crying like an upset baby? Do you need your mommy to protect you?

Grow up. this is a forum for adults. If you can't handle it, then go to church and hide underneath a priests robes. he'd like that i'm sure.

I think it should be closed too.

Don't let this anti-religion ignorants upset you dan :hug:

No I'm not ****ing crying thank you very much! Don't be so ****ing rude! I don't need my mum to protect me at all.

Stop baiting

then stop trying to silence others just because you are so fragile and upset.

this is a very ;large forum, if you don't like this thread then there are plenty of other threads to join, there are even some threads about disney movies, maybe you'd feel more comfortable there.

Stop trying to shut down other people's opinions about religion though.

I think you're the fragile one who can't accept that not everyone has the same anti-religious attitudes, maybe you ought to stop pushing that down everyone's throats. :hee:

It's not even a debate tbh it's just basically people calling religion

Thank you Josh :hug: I'd love to see what some people would say if the title was 'Should women/African-Americans/Muslims be taken seriously' just because it's religion doesn't mean it's not discrimatory

Lmao I am not fragile and upset do you seriously think I am crying in a corner because two people who I don't even know are calling a religion.

I just think you're extremely and ignorant and rude. Maybe keep your views to yourself because I don't think anyone else is interested

good lord, these people seem to think their religion is too precious to be criticized.

If you don't like it, make your own thread where everyone holds hands and sings religious Hymns.
I would not invade that thread and try to get it shut down.

Can you explain how?

Don't you dare try and patronise me, who the hell do you think you are?!

I am not I just think this thread is extremely discrimatory and prejudiced taking the piss out of Catholics etc it's not right!

You can still be friendly towards religious people without singing hymns and going to church.. can't begin to imagine how limited your friendship group is.

actually people are interest3d in my view, that's why this thread was made, for everyone to give their own personal view point. so obviously the person who made this thread wanted my opinion. they asked for it.

Painful because it's not even a debate it's just extremely cringeworthy

Discrimatory because people are basically taking the ****ing piss out of Catholics

this is NOT a chat group hon, this is a serious debates thread. no one is here to make friends, we are here to share opinions. stick to the chat group threads if you just want to make friends.

In your view...


Catholicism is a disgraceful cult and should be torn apart and exposed at every turn


I have never come across anyone on tibb who was prepared to try and defend its evil ways :conf:

No thanks because I don't wish to make a thread on that topic.

My religion can be criticised yes I myself criticise it sometimes but I think it's very ****ing rude to take this piss out of people's religions if you don't believe in it 'LOL fed the 5000' yeah it's not funny it's just rude and makes you come across as a dick

Okay Sinead O'Connor...

we take the piss out of religion because it's ridiculous. there is nothing respectable about a religion that has spent thousands of years oppressing people, spreading racism, sexism and homophobia. we take that kind of oppression very seriously in the SERIOUS DEBATE section of the forum.

If you want to have a thread to just say nice things about religion, go to general chat, and i promise i won't bother you. You won't see me post there at all.

and that reply is your idea of a debate?


:umm2:

believing that one loaf of bread can feed 5000 people makes you what then?

do you not see how ridiculous that sounds?


you cannot respect fairy tales

its like coming on here and defending Rapunzel

You keep persisting that this is the part of the forum for debates. I'm sorry but the first paragraph you posted saying that there is nothing respectable about my religion is so ****ing ignorant.

My religion is not ridiculous YOU are!
