Mormon dating site sued by Mormon church
Man and I thought the mermaid thing was rediculous...
Discovery Channel went full History Channel.
But the History Channel Went full TLC channel. And TLC channel went full retard. SO I propose we rename the Discovery network of channels 'Shortbus Media.' Is that in poor taste? On Topic: Copyright bullying is in, having a valid case before filing a lawsuit is out. GIT USED 2 IT

As far as the History Channel goes, if I were a network stuck with playing WWII documentaries constantly, I'd probably approve the running of hilarious shows like Ancient Aliens occasionally too. The problem is when that crap becomes popular and you're forced to air more shows like it until your credibility starts to spiral.

It was only a matter of time until a conversation about Mormons turned to the Amish.

I'd date an Amish woman. I'll only use electricity to access FFXIAH.

I don't always hate religion but when I do. I get turned on by Science.
Why are we hating on Mormon and Amish people? When you're born into a close knit community, sometimes it is more about the family and social aspects than the religion itself.
We can start hating on Scientology now though. It really is a pyramid scheme and absolutely HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE to the core.

I can't find any reason to hate Amish. I mean really what did the Amish do to you ?
Same with Mormons. You can disagree with what they believe but to hate them because they are religious is a bit much. Not that it matters but the Amish make some damn good pecan pie. So I have a positive opinion of them. I recommend buying pies from Amish is what I'm saying.

Tiger Mom wrote a book about it called "Triple Package". I am a doctor and had a few Mormon classmates. I can assure you their intelligence and character were relatively unassailable. Relatively unsassailable until you ask them about how they believe Joseph Smith is a prophet. Then it all falls apart. Again, selectively divorcing their mind from rational thought when it suits them, how can anyone trust or respect someone that does that? Just like any religion, there's a gradient involved in just how much people believe it as literal word. Ranging from Cultist fanaticism, to "It benefits my family, who cares if it's true." I can't say I hate the latter, even if I question why they need the crutch. And I think the point of the (Admittedly stupid) cartoon was to demonstrate that atheists are all talk and no action. Even if I hate the structure and tenants of a religion, and let's be clear, that's exactly what I said, I'd never force anyone to stop believing it. I just might not be so keen to hear about what planet God lives on, and my eyes might glaze over when they explain why Black people are Black. Of course, to that end, the classic 'comeback' to those who don't understand history is Stalin and Hitler. "Confirmed Atheists" both, except when you really look into what happened during those dreadful days. The Catholic Church was every bit in support of Hitler's regime during World War II, and Hitler himself was intent on inserting his person into the various mythology of religions. That isn't an Atheist. As for Stalin, he abused the system put up by the Russian Orthodox church and turned it to his own devices. While his own religious faith is lacking, the Russian people were pre-disposed to that kind of misery and subjugation by the institution before him. To that end, it was religion that planted the seed, tended the garden, Stalin merely picked the weeds. TL;DR - I hate your religion, I don't hate you; but I may think you're a bit silly.

As for Hitler, the Catholic Church was NOT in favor of Hitler, although keep in mind that Italy was on Germany's side. And if you want to argue that church prepares people for subjugation, I would argue that statism does it far worse.

To hear someone say the entire universe was compressed into a speck smaller than an atom and say "Oh, that's cool!", then turn around and mock someone who believes an old guy built a big boat with a lot of animals on it... It is ok to ridicule and demean other people. Next thing you are going to hear is that it is ok to force religious people to wear symbols on their clothing so we can ridicule and demean them on a daily basis until they become atheists. Yeah, nothing bad will ever happen to them, and nothing bad will ever happen if they continue to do it I'm very tolerant I only ridicule people that have different believes from me.

Okay, here's where you come off as pretty dumb. There's no evidence for Noah, there is Evidence for the Big Bang. Does that mean one is false and the other is true? Not necessarily. They could both be ***, both be true... But a rational mind gravitates towards what has evidence. Gilgamesh.Tenshibaby said: » As for Hitler, the Catholic Church was NOT in favor of Hitler, although keep in mind that Italy was on Germany's side. And if you want to argue that church prepares people for subjugation, I would argue that statism does it far worse. As a survival tactic, the Catholic church did adapt into Hitler's reich. While not directly an endorsement, they were quick to adopt the core principles they agreed with. So yeah, I might have gone all hyperbole there. As for statism... Can't say I disagree with you only on the grounds that I think they're equally bad, at least if you mean Totalitarianism, since (most)religion is a form of totalitarianism. (God controls every aspect of your life, just like the state) In the context of Russian Orthodox and Roman Catholic of the 40's, that's definitely true.

Most religions, including Christianity, are not totalitarian, and operate under the concept of Free Will. All the more reason more people should convert to Taoism.

Most religions, including Christianity, are not totalitarian, and operate under the concept of Free Will. See, you're being dumb again. You can't leave the religion according to the religion, because God will punish you in the afterlife. And you can leave the state, The Colonies left the "State" of England in 1776. That's kind of why the 2nd Amendment is so important (Yes I'm pro guns), it gives the citizenry that power. Also, while great floods are commonplace throughout time, there is zero evidence of the the "True" ark. ***, they can't even find the mountain Russel Crowe landed on. And that's before you consider that the "Two of every animal" scenario is impossible with our current understanding of biology and geologic time. But keep trying, this is fun.

As for the Ark, they have pretty good ideas what Mt. Ararat was. Is there unanimous agreement? No. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/04/100428-noahs-ark-found-in-turkey-science-religion-culture/ http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2014/01/28/new-discovery-raises-flood-of-questions-about-noahs-ark/ Evidence, not proof. I am willing to accept, as many Christians are, that a lot of Genesis was allegory, but I would not dismiss someone who believes it to be literal. Your understanding of the Big Bang Theory and I'm sure 99.9% of scientific theories is your faith in the people who tell you things are so. Science is good at correcting itself, sure, but that means it is wrong. A LOT. Obviously I am not anti-science, but the more I learned about science and how research works, the more I became aware of its limitations. Much of the BBT speculation is just that: speculation. It sells well in the sci-fi community and since they tend to be fairly intelligent, the presumption is that they must be right, and that is called "religious faith" in any other context.

Basing the world on what you have evidence for makes you nothing more than a modern-day flat-earther.
