A Protest Against The Collective Bigotry...

[fitzcarraldo]

The extreme left have never ceased to champion the rights of those disenfranchised in our respective communities. Whether it be the homosexuals, the immigrants, or the impoverished, the left have clung to and championed the rights of self-determination of these groups. In fact, the word 'bigot' may as well have been invented by a left-leaning individual among you to describe the fanatical right-wing ravings of a member of the ruling class.

And yet, here is a web-site, whose members have the audacity to discriminate against a member whose sole crime seems to be the beleif in a Deity whose detection evades them. I ask you: 'Would a real leftist discriminate against the silent majority of liberty loving beleivers?' What twisted 'liberatarianism' is this? What 'liberation' is this where freedoms and rights are denied and curtailed? Where open hostility and conspiracy against religion is discussed without shame? How many among you will acknowledge that true freedom encompasses all human desires and actions regardless of the beleifs and prejudices of a minority of vangaurdists such as yoursleves?

And yet, here is a web-site, whose members have the audacity to argue with a member whose sole crime seems to be the beleif in a Deity who is completely irrational, autocratic and domineering. I ask you: 'Would a real leftist debate against the silent majority of submissive, irrational beleivers?' What twisted 'liberatarianism' is this? What 'liberation' is this where people argue, debate and make fun of each other? Where open hostility and conspiracy against dogmatic, regressive religion is discussed without shame? How many among you will acknowledge that true freedom encompasses all human desires and actions WITHIN REASON regardless of the logical conclusion of actually believing in a sky wizard--that those who believe in it are stupid?


Corrected.

[theraven]

you should really bold the parts of the text you corrected, it makes your point more effective mony

anyway I agree with fitz, there is nothing inherently wrong with religion, and your lots attempts to stifle religion will only hurt your cause.

[Forward Union]

there is nothing inherently wrong with religion

Except superstitious anti-science.

[Zero]

And those silly crusades.

The crusades was fun for everybody right? >.>

[lawnmowergoWHUMMM]

Sorry, I never claimed to not be a bigot. I'm really not into the "everyone is equal" thing. It might feel good but it really makes no sense at all.

[STI]

Heh, we most certainly should be bigotted toward *certain people*... namely, reactionaries.

And there are few things out there more reactionary than our ol' pal religion.

*Sigh*. How many times are godsuckers going to make us flogg this same dead horse?

I oppose religious dogma, but I do find it unfair that it is made such an issue here. There are many dogmas that an be more destructive than religion, like technocracy, and as you know religion can be relatively harmless.

[Jazzratt]

Sorry? What the fuck - 'Technocracy is more harmless than relegion'? All those technocratic crusades that we haven't had and all those technocratic fundamentalists that aren't blowing themselves up and not imposing their dogma on people. You know they are worse than the relegious crusades which do happen and so on.

in regards to communal rights to possessions, the advancement of tools above the advancement of man is clearly more destructive than a belief in fairy tales. It has been manifested by the US obsession over increasing technology, at the expense of increasing infrastructure to help more people with what we already know.

discriminate, how?

my family is religious, my friends are religious.. i don't torture them, nor do i abuse them.

i feel they are wrong, of course, and, if they were to campaign to establish religion within the government, and so on, i'd oppose them.

but discrimination.. again, how?

i'm hostile to religion, yes.. some of my friends are abused and called whores in the name of allah. so, if allah gets a kick in the face from me, what then? if people are scared to have sex and drink alcohol and do drugs because of allah.. what then?

i'll have no part of it.

You obviously know fuck all about technocracy. Technocracy is putting technology in service of the human species, not the other way round.

[Dean]

You dont have to be hostile...

Technocracy can mean what i described. Look up on wikipedia, a dictionary or an encyclopedia before you brutally attack me.

I have no Idea what your concept of T. is, so I can't comment on that. I commented on my concept of it, which is apparently different from yours.

Maybe it would be more prudent for you to qualify your ideas before damning people for opposing them?
