    When Prop 8 was up for voting so many lies were told by the religious yes on prop 8 side it is so irritating that they are allowed to get away with fear mongering and telling complete lies -___- I just watched this video http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=20M9ywn7Zgs this is why I hate religion

    ugh I can't even think straight after watching that, I feel sick
    lets just say those attackers are lucky I don't know them
    and I'm lucky there's nothing like prop 8 where I live, I'd be arrested in 2 seconds for beating the living shiz out of anyone who supports it
    freedom is NOT something you vote on
    religion is a choice, sexuality is something beyond our control
    if anything lets have a vote to ban Christians from marrying, as crazy as it may sound it makes more sense then this BS that California's pulling
    I knew something was wrong with them when they elected Arnold Schwarzenegger...

    Why do you hate religion so much based on ONE group of people? There are tons of churches that accept homosexuality. I am Christian and have no problem with gay people at all.. I think it is dumb that they don't accept it.

    I'm not going to get into the other hundreds of reasons why I dislike religion I think it is quite understandable why I dislike religion. It's not one group of people, the Vatican and the Pope constantly spew hatred about gays, without the Mormon Church getting involved the outcome of Prop 8 most probably would of been very different, In many middle Eastern countries homosexuality is punishable by death to uphold Allah's word. Religion in general freaks me out I don't mind if people practise religion obviously and I still view people as individuals not as a collective It just irritates me that figure heads of these massively influential groups preach homophobia if in some of the comments made by these religious leaders homosexuals were swapped with any racial or religious group the world would be calling for their heads.

    I'm non-religious and that's partially why. I don't like religion because it's too controversial, and I don't believe in something that I think is outrageously :(.

    So I probably have no clue in what this is about :D

    Lolz.

    Lots of people believe in one religion.
    Yet one or a few people ruin everyone's views on it.
    I would say, if you don't believe in it, then don't make fun of/bash religion either.
    I think the prop 8 was a bunch of crap when they removed it again.

    Religion is freaky. It forces innocent little kids who aren't ready to make their own choices about religion to conform to a singular way of thinking. Tyranny is considered evil. But what is religion but tyranny of thought and belief? Oh and just this past winter holidays, I was at the Trail of Lights (it's literally a trail of lights that's basically an Austin tradition every winter) and I'm not sure how, but I was handed this Christmas cash thing that looks like this:

    And on the back, this is what it said:
    Seriously...wtf.

    Now I understand; you said in the first post that was the reason you didn't like religion and that's where I got confused. I don't like it either, but just know that some of us who are religious think for ourselves :]

    I don't want to quote pando's post cause it was long, but that is seriously fucked up. [Some] Christians get pissed off when people even disagree with Christianity, but they try to push it on other people like that? Not cool.
