Quote:If all some people here are going to do is complain about critizism of their beliefs 'til they get their way and have a whole thread deleted, I'm out of here.
Everyone believes different things, and I'm sorry, but that means you are NOT all right.
Critical discussion of beliefs is a useful way to help sort through them, but apparantly that's not what people are really interested in here.
I'm pretty much ready to pull a laffingrain at this point- save the pointless, overly-dramatic going away thread..
Having your own believes is cool. I like hearing and reading people's views on life and spirituality.
But having your believes does not mean attacking other peoples believes either explicitly or implicitly.
This discussion was just an attack on a belief system due to it attachment to a race and culture.
To be honest I can see why people do get angry with fundamentalism especially because of the pain and suffering it is causing to our societies and freedom. But people seem to forget that waging a verbal war on a whole culture or belief is the whole point of the fundamentalists goal. They want you to do this!
On top of that, like mentioned above, it was not an afterlife topic.
I know adding to this topic again is not helping it disappear but I felt I needed to explain why I wanted it to go.
