Am I the only one on this planet who can't stand people who reject other people's religion when the know nothing of that persons religion?

There's a difference between rejecting a religion and rejecting a person for their religion. I reject all religion, because it doesn't make sense to me. I know many people who are deeply religious and deeply spiritual. I don't avoid tham becasue they have differing beliefs, and they don't avoid me. I don't think there's any problem with that. I'm here to debate the existence of god(s). I've accepted that one truly strong in their beliefs won't be swayed. But, I can't stay away from a good argument.

I don't have a problem with athiests, I don't have a problem with other theists.

Well, most of them, at least. THere's plenty of both that are idiots.

I hate idiots.

"Diddo"? Are you trying to say "ditto" or "dildo"?

Anyway, I think I agree with the above. You can believe in Mumbo Jumbo, god of the congo for all I care, as long as you don't try to put me into your stewpot.

No, not at all. You get all these people shoving religious/holy books into you hands and telling you their way is right, and anyone else shall burn in hell forever more, and they dont know a damned thing about other religions or how they function. Shit, they don't even know how much of their religion is based off another one with a completely different set of beliefs.

Don't put all the blame on people of religion trying to stuff their ideologies down others throats. Atheists et. al do the same goddam thing, always calling anyone who believes in god an idiot and questioning their thoughts, telling them how their theology is not the right way to think.

quit sucking up....it's obvious.

Its a two way street.

But of course. On the other hand, I do know that by definition a religion has no logical basis. Given my strong personal aversion to this, am I not justified in rejecting religion in general?
