[Gay News] South Korea Christians Protest Lady Gaga

I will give it some slack for the fact that it is in the "story" section.

 

I was confused with the gay news moniker, then I saw "Christians protest . . ." Then the gayness of this thread was magnified.

 

You don't like what Jesus Christ stands for (even if you don't believe in Him)? How many people have ever tried to 'jam' religion down your throat? In 50+ years, I can recall 20 or so instances of Jehovah's witnesses or Mormons knocking on my door and each time I told them I wasn't interested in what they had to say, they politely apologized for bothering me and went on their way. Have you had different experiences?

 

The presumption is that Jesus is God and God is good so you'll be a good person if you believe in Jesus.

I'm an agnostic. I used to be a pretty devout Catholic. I dropped it after reading about the history of the church and how most of the rites and stuff seem to be man-made; so I dropped it because I no longer believed it to be divine truth, not because I disliked some aspect of the Christian God.

 

I'm not arguing against compassionate virtues being taught by Jesus. Nobody is arguing that, that's a great thing.

However, there are also intolerant views being taught as well. Hatred of other religious groups. Hatred of nonbelievers. Hatred of homosexuals. In Islamic culture women aren't even given rights.

Also every religion on Earth believes their religion to be the one true religion. You don't know how infuriating it is to tell someone this. They'll just say, "oh, we're different." Oh blah blah BULL****. They don't even realize that the only reason they believe in their respective religion is because they were born in a locale that practiced it.

 

All very contested topics in their own right. I think homosexuality is disgusting. The one thing tolerance can't tolerate is intolerance.

 

Nothing too bad, they just annoy me. Like Pat Robertson/700 club, churches everywhere (and they don't pay taxes)....religious messages are everywhere if you pay attention. And us atheists are definitely condemned.

When an Atheist president is in whitehouse, I will complain less. But I suspect it is already the case

Another thing that annoys me a lot is these guys trying to put Creationism in the classroom.

 

That is why this video has been viewed more than 3 million times! Only 1:24, check it out guys, listen to the applauding at the end!

Red, are you also one of the many atheists who circle jerk on atheism on Reddit?

 

Calm down man, i respect you're opinion and all but you have to respect others and their opinion to have a faith. My opinion is that Lady Gaga is worthless and produces terrible music

 

YES. I love circle jerking on /r/atheism.

 

Is being intolerant of intolerance and ignorance ironic? Sure. Does that make it wrong? No.

 

Smh. Go post in the draft. I am intolerant of your irresponsibility

Just lessening the tension guys

 

Oh crap is it my turn?

 

While most churches don't pay taxes, they employ tens of thousands of people that do.

I still don't understand why things like the 700 club bother you so much. Simply change the channel. Guys like Falwell and Robertson bother me as well, but I simply tune them out.

While you may not agree with Creationism, I see nothing wrong with including it in the curriculum. It is an accepted method of Creation by tens of millions of people. At the very least, the students should learn that it is an alternate theory. It doesn't have to be taught as fact, but it should certainly be included. We would do our students a disservice by not giving it some sort of exposure. Kids should not walk out of school and not know what the 'theory of Creationism' is.

 

Only a Sith deals an absolute.

 

So if you want to teach creationism in our schools, can we teach evolution in your churches?

Creationism is a "theory" with no scientific backing of evidence whatsoever other than a first hand account by "god" himself. That's circular reasoning. Creationism is true because God said so. God is true because creationism is true. Therefore it cannot be taught in science classes. English class would be the only viable option.

Also have you ever heard of the Scopes trial? Back in the day Christians did their best to outlaw evolution; now that people have risen out of ignorance you want to introduce ignorance back into the school system again? (Also let it be known its not illegal to teach creationism in schools anyway, so I've heard.)

 

FIFY.

 

Yes. Nice pick. Lin

 

Is that how it is? That's so lame. I'm never gonna use that phrase again. George Lucas sucks.
