"I have a close friend who's a retired Lutheran pastor. He knows I'm an atheist and he's totally fine with that. He's been really supportive of me during a few difficult times in my life. He was helpful to me without ever having…"

"That's a great point. I think for many, religion is passive enough in their lives where they don't feel the need to think critically about it. Often times, everyone around them believes the same thing and there's simply no…"

"I agree with you Michael, but what about when people are grown-up and have heard reason and rationality and learned about science. How can they STILL ignore all that and believe in the crazy? I still stereotype them in my head…"

Atheist Stereotyping
I've noticed while reading through some of the discussions around here that there are at least a few people who try and point out that we should not stereotype the religious just as we don't like to be stereotyped by them (as angsty, whiny people rebelling against god, or perhaps as morally depraved people who have a skewed idea of right and wrong).I decided to take an introspective look into how I have misused stereotypes without even knowing it.For example, "the religious are so because they…See More

"The problem with that video was as much the apologist who came on after as it is Worley. He wants to allege that Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 are being taken "out of context" and that the bible is supposed to be about love when the…"

Stuart Jeremy Oxley replied to Michael A's discussion Isn't religion psychologically unhealthy?
"Religion is psychologically damaging if you realize the truth. With me, it lead to bitterness and an intense hate of religious belief. It leaves the same wound as if you had been conned out of your life savings, that is if you were a devoted…"

"No Michael... religion, per se, is not unhealthy, I believe it is the other way around, religion attracts people that are psychologically unhealthy... No basically healthy mind, this is inquisitive and thoughtful, will keep itself in the…"

Michael Black replied to Michael A's discussion Isn't religion psychologically unhealthy?
"I don't think anyone really believes that their god is watching them 24/7. If they did, there would be a lot less despicable behavior. It is mostly lip-service given by people that are terrified by the complete cessation of…"
