What's your plan to stop it?
Ain't got a clue. The wealth of the church's gives them control of politics and some judges too.
But the school should be controlled by the board of education we need to build awareness then apply pressure.
It feels like treating a symptom while allowing the disease.
It irks me these arrogant bigots don't have to pay tax.
I have never understood that either! Why wouldn't a church have to pay taxes? Not everyone believes in the church so the sanctity of it should be replaced with the same treatment we all get. I wonder if there have been a study done on how much more money would be payed in taxes if churches had to suddenly start paying up.
I agree, why should they get police, fire protection and access to roads for free?
Since most religions are worth billions (the sheeples donations pile up, the church's invest on the stock market and only a tiny fraction goes on charity work) the governments lose a hell of a lot of money.
That's true! Imagine the amount of the country's deficit that could be reduced if churches were treated just like everyone else. They hide behind ancient rules and ancient laws that need to be updated.
Yes religions good at manipulating politics using their vast bank accounts. How do you think the republican party is funded.
Ask and yea shall receive
Tax lost in the usa alone estimated at $71000000000 per year and not a typo :(

Went to the link wondering how they figured out a number, but not willing to join, subscribe or pay to find out more, If you or anyone else has, I was wondering if they included all the money the government gives these entities for their promotional shelters and soup kitchens was included in this figure or if this was just the amount that the US government would take in in taxes from the money made by these tax exempt entities through donations and profitable activities.
This links found out more tax lost but hasnt got anything about the money the state gives religion.

I feel the same, the implications of some of their beliefs are just down right sickening at times.
I think the way is to expose their intelectua dishonesty, the various holes in their beliefs and do so
in more of a confrontive and combative manner. We must not be afraid to mock them if a certain idea
deserves to be mocked.
No that plays into the churches hands theyve spread propaganda that all atheists are evil and filled with hate. I cant count the number of people that have accused me of hating them for simply showing them the truth.
Well... not to be a stickler, but homosexuality is abnormal, being that a relatively small part of the population engages in it. However, it is still natural, not at all unique to humans, and in no way wrong.
To stop Christianity is impossible... I would never stop being one nor will i ever allow people to stop it either. Those who want to end it, are ignorant, stupid, selfish, and naive. well thats my opinion
Since this God’s existence has never been proven to exist, the only thing to end is the pollution in people’s minds that believe it. Pollution like when you admitted Hitler would be allowed in your so-called heaven if he made a deathbed confession despite the genocide he committed. Pollution such as innocent children being condemned to eternal torture if they die prematurely in a non-christian country. If you believe such psychopathic garbage, and you want to see ignorant, stupid, selfish, and naïve just look in the mirror.
Hitler used a false religion, Catholicism to his advantage, but he was evolutionist all the way. All it takes is a little study. Hitler had no respect of life because he looked at people as animals.
It's easy to look up when he called the black man that out ran his country an animal. Crying it wasn't fair for an animal to compete. He believes that race is proof of different stages of evolution. So some are closer to the animals that they evolved from. What a shame is that. How many of you think that same way? That you think other PEOPLE are less of a person than you are. God makes it clear, all men are created equal. I believe it. I see people no matter what their race is to be the same.
But don't worry you don't have to do anything to try to get rid of Christianity. Jesus is coming backsoon to take the church out of here. Well for at least 7 years. Then He will deal with those that are against Him. Then He will reign for a thousand years on this earth. And during that time there will be no atheists. Then the new heaven and earth will be made and we will have peace for ever. I hope that every one of you will be there. And I mean that from the depths of my heart.

Ahhh....so you put your stamp of approval on Hitler being rewarded with eternal bliss if he recanted on his deathbed? In your opinion it is moral that he be rewarded for what he did in his life?
He was deceived like you are and I was. But I doubt very much that he did. Do you understand that if you break God's law, you are guilty of breaking the whole law?
If you lie or murder, you have broken His law and guilty of sinning against God. There is a price to pay for breaking the law.
LOL....your immoral god rewards people like Hitler or Stalin with get of of hell free cards if they repent when they die....that is true is it not....YES OR NO?
No not the way you put it.
WRONG!....Just hate to tell the truth how the loophole works don't you? To prove you wrong, here is Christ forgiving a criminal before he dies: last-minute conversion to Christ in the Bible is the case of the criminal crucified alongside Jesus (Luke 23:39-43). Only moments before his own death, this criminal had been an unbelieving mocker of Christ (see Matthew 27:44). However, at the last moment the criminal repented and acknowledged Jesus as the heavenly King. The Lord gave him the blessed promise, “Today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
I want the other members of this forum to note Chuck Roger's dishonesty here and consider that in future debates.
Most of us ignore chuck because we know he is not capable of debating anything.
We just pity such individuals that have been enslaved mentally to that point and thus ignore them.
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was
Doobie Brothers – What A Fool Believes Lyrics
No you are wrong. You said if they repent when they die. The thief on the cross hadn't dyed yet. But if someone truly repents then yes God will save them no matter what they have done.
Do you know what incarceration is for? To put someone in prison, is for the purpose of hopefully getting them to change their ways. Even their beliefs. You behave according to your beliefs. If you believe you have the right to lie, you will become a liar.
If you believe you have the right to steal you will become a thief. If you believe you have the right to kill, and so on. Though you can do those things without an actual belief that you have the right to, simply out of impulse of what is going on around you. But that doesn't mean you didn't have a choice.
So prison is an effort to try to change one's beliefs so they can go back into society a retentive person that won't commit the crime again. Repentance is turning from the things that you do that are wrong. Turning from sin, in other words.
The difference between man and God is that all we can do is hope that someone who has been put in prison will repent. But God knows the truth from someone's heart if they have repented. If they have truly changed from the inside out. No one will be in Heaven that hasn't truly repented no matter what we think of them. Because we can be fooled, but God can't be.
Your still wrong, and you lack morals because you believe in a god that has no morals. You may condone enslaving humans I don't, but your god does.. You believe some one that committed genocide should be forgiven after being responsible for the murder of large numbers of people. I don't care if the murderer truly did repent, they should still have to pay for their crimes. Secular morals are superior to yours, thats why we have laws so religious nuts can't go around committing atrocities. But you go ahead and rationalize all you want to evade the truth, that is how you operate. Your a sycophant that cannot think for yourself.
Here is another classic example how the sickness of Christianity can infect the minds of people and make them do things they would not do other wise: http://www.history.com/topics/jonestown/videos/jonestown-massacre
You not caring how God does it doesn't matter to God. He is going to do it the way He designed it His way. And don't worry, He will not force you to accept His way. But He made a way you don't have to suffer for eternity. Yet you have the choice if you want to suffer with the likes of Hitler if you want to.
