Not to turn this into a religion thread but this is a great example of how religion is NOT a personal thing and how religion really does affect our society. Religion shapes peoples views on certain topics, say sexuality, and in turn those that subscribe to the religions can really affect those that do not share their madness. "The Bible/Koran/*insert religious document* says that homosexuality is sinful therefore homosexuality is wrong (and apparently akin to pedophilia and bestiality)"Originally Posted by DeadsetAce
because religion has taught people to believe what theyre told and not to use simple logic. it's trickled down into things like gay rightsOriginally Posted by Noskey
Why cant someone like that be allowed to marry someone they love? I'm still not seeing any proof that they'd put life as we know it at risk.
I never want to hear a religious person say that their beliefs are "personal" because that is not reality. If they were truly personal beliefs, you would vote for the betterment of society as a whole. You would want to strive for as equal and as equitable a society as possible. You would want schools to teach progressive science as opposed to BS creationism or intelligent design. You would not allow your unsubstantiated views to affect how you treat anyone else. But that's not realistic.
