Hey tilt
No one is calling you a racist, intolerant bigot.
Jechbi wrote "Another person expressed the view that religion "needs to go." This rhetoric sounds to me a lot like the rhetoric of "the Jews must go" or "the infidels must go" or other such divisive language that has spawned so much violence in the past"
this reads to me as saying that if i say religion must go i must want the jews to go or the xtians to go or the muslims to go and so must harbour somekind of racist or biggoted attitude towards people when in fact i say religion must go, not people
I know this want jechbi's intention (or i think it wasnt) to label me as racist or biggot etc but i feel it was strongly implied
Now then my opinion based on my observations of religion is that it would be better for mankind if it went, thats my opinion. Perhaps people disagree which is fine. Lets have a discussion about why you think its good and should stay (which was the intent of the other thread). Its not about attacking people or hating things but a serious discussion about religion and is it of any benefit or not
