Whenever i read your posts around here, it's got something to do with religion and how bad it is. (atleast, most of it)

How often do you read these forums, then? Unless you specifically mean heated discussions and debates... but Spoony's also probably one of the few people who actually play Renegade.

I'm sorry for not instantly jumping on your mindless bandwagon in which we all spit on religion and religious organizations,

"I'm not going to join your bandwagon of objectively criticizing organizations that rely on indoctrination and brainwashing!"
Seriously, I have my own religious beliefs, but as time goes on, I realize how fucked up a lot of religious organizations can be.

If anything, it's just as bad as evangelical folks telling me i'm going to hell for not believing in god and shoving it down my throat.

ou don't have to read Spoony's posts- especially ones about religion.
But how often can you "swear" in public? How often can you publicly claim homosexuality is not a sin without getting at LEAST a couple of "IT SAYS SO IN THE BIBLE" folks? How often can you say "I think that a woman should have the right to her own body, even if it means doing something I disagree with such as abortion. The government should have no right to tell her what to do." without getting a fuckton of guilt tripping speeches and images about how abortion is terrible.

It's like going "COME ON GUYS STOP PICKING ON THIS REALLY POPULAR BAND THEY NEED TO MAKE MONEY TOO STOP IT YOU GUYS I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS" on a video about a less than popular band that is entirely dwarfed by the hypothetical popular band.

Like tankclash pointed out last page, the actions of a few individuals cannot be attributed to an entire organization.

You're entirely right. I don't get why Christians are seen as charitable, either.

That's like saying atheists are evil because stalin and mao murdered millions.

No... it's not like that, it's not like that at all. Granted, that's a logical argument for when someone says "ATHEISM IS PEACEFUL THOUGH AND ALL OUR WORLD PROBLEMS WOULD BE SOLVED IF NO ONE WAS RELIGIOUS!", but that's not even what's being said here.

I think it's atheists like you who give atheism a bad name. Instead of forcing it down someone's throat, try to be more assertive.
In response, you'll be more likely to get some respect.

lol wait what
Usually being too assertive can be seen as "forcing it down someone's throat"
But anyway, I used to see Spoony as an arrogant cock, but as time goes by I see why he has a heavy disdain for at least organized religion. He's a lot better and well rounded than, say, some stupid 15 year old cock on youtube who "hates religion" because his mom and dad want him to go to church (even though they don't force him and understand his decision).

If you got personal problems with religion, go get some professional help and try to let it go.

"Doc, I got some problems. I don't think people should have the right to force others what to do based solely on their own convictions that are fueled by a combination of generational indoctrination, brainwashing, and environmental conditioning. You gotta help me, doc."
makes perfect sense!
