    I'm challeging the origin of your definition, is my point.

    What is the point that you're trying to make?

    Pick up any dictionary and look up the term religion , do yous have dictionaries in the U S ?

    Come on Joeseph, this is the back bone of your argument?

    @Joeseph:

    You're plenty wrong.

    "Actually I succeeded in pointing out you’re an indoctrinated sheep , your continued denial and refesual to address this fact is conclusive"

    You've succeeded in showing the religious individuals how you back your argument up.

    Your use of the internet to provide your argument with a backbone.

    The second backbone of your argument is your bias mindset.

    This is how you've inaccurately expressed yourself.

    "ive accurately described you and your buddies you don't have to keep repeating it"

    No, you haven't. Did you interview me to give your opinion about the religious individuals a two sided story? 

    When did you interview me or text religious individuals to provide your bias mindset with both sides of an argument? 

    Again, how can you be accurate about others when you defined them through your one sided stance?

    You're wrong when you label people, with your bias mindset.

    Ask any religious individual if they concur with your mindset.

  • MayCaesarMayCaesar 5965 Pts   -  
    @Zombieguy1987 ;

    Yes, and AfD, an ultra-nationalist party, got 12% seats in the German parliament recently, and in France the ultra-nationalist lady Le Pen scored over a third of all votes. Italy is ruled by an "Italian Trump", in Austria the chancellor is one of the biggest Putin's and Trump's friends, and in Spain and the UK nationalist secessionist movements nearly ripped the respective countries in half. Hungary, in which both communism and Nazism were outlawed for a long time, descended into a soft nationalistic dictatorship, and Poland is currently getting there.

    It does not seem like ideological bans are particularly effective. In fact, the pattern suggests that the countries in which a given ideology is banned or heavily restricted eventually shift towards it.

    We may have many nationalists around here, but only one nationalistic president was elected in the last many decades, and for the most part nationalists tend to stick to their own business. Countries that outlaw nationalism, on the other hand, create the environment in which nationalists, once they are in charge, have all the tools they need to implement their ideological constructs in practice, since it is they now who control the censorship process.

    These simplistic "bans" are an example of extremely poor understanding of politics and societies. You think that banning something will remove it from the society; but what actually happens is that that something remains unchallenged and can grow in a comfy environment, eventually erupting and causing havoc.
  • AndrejAndrej 18 Pts   -  
    For this argument, I'll use the location of the US for basing this, as it is what I presume is the nation most people would identify with, yet this really goes for any democracy really as well. 

    The constitution of the United States, and that of most if not all modern democracies, permit the right to practice religion. It's much like how freedom of speech really. Freedom of speech is what is preventing the government or any organizations from censoring things they disagree with, and allows you to say things that other people might call "" or "silly". This also protects your right to say the two aforementioned words and call it rational and open-minded debate, supposedly. Regardless of how ridiculous or how just you find any religion to be, it is simply wrong to force your ideals upon others just because you find it ridiculous, dumb, or pure "stupidity", as one civil debater put it here. If I read something I disagree with, perhaps something that you've written, and I feel it would be right to ban that from being said, I doubt you would be supportive of me doing such.

    The whole atheism and evolution as a religion or not debate should really be put into it's own discussion in my opinion. We're here to discuss if a religion ban is right or wrong, not start a religious crusade over atheism and evolution's religious status. Save that for somewhere else.

    And there's YOUR truth, and the backbone of your bias argument. 

    Along with your bias classism attitude towards the religious individuals. 

    Now I see why you work so hard at using the internet to spread your bias classism attitude towards the religious individuals. 



  • TTKDBTTKDB 267 Pts   -  
    I think that for some to talk about banning Religion is equivalent to adult childs play.

    We have a society where various conversations deserve more attention than the hounding of Religion like some do 

    Why do some ignore the bigger picture issues that some plague society as a whole with? 

    Why not push for bans on the various crimes that some commit against the rest of society as a whole? 

    Domestic violence doesn't deserve more attention to it? 

    Bullying in general doesn't deserve more attention to it? 

    Assault and batteries, hit and runs, robberies, abductions, carjackings, and so on, these conversations don't deserve more attention to them? 

    No, the hounding of Religion in general, and the religious individuals is where that kind of attention deserves to be dolled out isn't it?

    Do you have a bias against Muslims or Christian's Joeseph being that you're European?

    , do you feel like people should lower themselves to your level of bias, bigotry, or classism standards of thought? 

    Because you feel like people need to defend themselves from your views towards them?

    Is that how you go about educating via the internet via your bias mindset? 

    Do you hate religious individuals? 

    It's not a hard question.

    Have I personally done anything to you in Europe against your bias mindset? 

    Because if I haven't done anything personally wrong to you, then there's no reason to defend myself from your bias mindset is there?

    I think everyone is getting more than a bit peed off that you keep on insisting that atheism is a religion without any reasoning or justification.....it just does not cut the mustard to say something is so without a reason, especially in this case where you are virtually trying to say that a wheel is square.

    I don't know what your motive is but all you are achieving is blatantly showing everybody that you are a first-class limp-wristed .

    That's certainly a curious position to take.  If everyone was peed off at my calling atheism just another religion, no one would be agreeing with me; but a number of posters have agreed with me, and some rarely agree with me on anything else.  If nothing else, I've demonstrated that you don't speak for everyone; that your opinions, which you incorrectly try to state are facts, are just opinions, and bad ones at that.
