Not really.

 

what is government? Authority. Who is attracted to authority? Narcissists, the greedy, the self-righteous. What do those people typically do? Bad things.

I disagree. 

[Adam]

That’s why Anarchy isn’t practical

[mtangelsfan]

Yeah,  I will put Christian giving up against any other group

[nate]

I would say the world would be better off without religion at all.

I wonder if you can?

I swear you guys pick the dumbest things to point out.

I know it's petty, but the guy makes himself an easy target.  He just comes off as a complete buffoon at times.  Like today he said he spoke to the President of the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Religions are fine. People are the problem.

[nate]

Just think how much better the world would be if instead of spending money on mosques, temples, and every other pointless landmark, money was spent on schools and infrastructure.

At the same time, imagine how much better we would be as a race if people stopped spending so much time and energy worshipping god and studying religious text and instead taught others, or spent more time learning math, science, reading and writing.

Imagine if Christians were truly that philanthropic and instead of building churches they were building fresh water wells, roads, hospitals and didn't teach abstinence and instead taught about safe sex and disease control.

Uh, we are already build wells and roads.

Religion is a vessel for people to act superior and create conflict.

And you could have built a shitload more if you didn't waste so much on churches.

Um many do all the things you want them to do. 

Everyone wastes resources on non-essentials

Lol so is every belief system or philosophy

Good to see you agree.

Religion is a gigantic roadblock to progress.  As long as people believe in something 2k year old that should be the law, we will never advance like we should.

[Adam]

Imagine if atheists didn’t buy video games... if scientists didn’t waste money on socks...

 

[nate]

The difference is, they aren't doing it in the name of philanthropy

When I give my ~10% a year, I know it is going toward helping people, not building a pointless monument and also helping people.

[Blarg]

Imagine if Nate wasn't raped by an ugly 60 year old nun when he reached puberty. 

[Adam]

I don’t know what that means. We all get taxed up the ass. I give more to charity than I pay in income tax. Am I part of the problem?

If you are giving to Christian charities then yes, or if you consider giving to the church Charity then yes.

[Adam]

Wow. I respect you a ton but I think you’re way off the mark here. I think you see every Christian as Joel Ostein. Just not the case.

FTR I support a number of causes some Christian, some not but all vetted to ensure the money is used to help people of any race or religion. Vetted as much as is possible.

[Adam]

I totally get you thinking we are completely nuts. That makes perfect sense.

I don’t get your level of animosity

So Nate is against the 1st and 2nd Amendment.
