never called you a bad parent. just saying you have shown a lock of tolerence in this thread and its a shame as you come across asa good bloke normally.
How so?
The one thing I drum into my daughter is to treat everyone as an individual and each and every one on their own individual merits.
Sorry that makes me such a bad parent.

Where have I shown a lack of tolerance?never called you a bad parent. just saying you have shown a lock of tolerence in this thread and its a shame as you come across asa good bloke normally.
Exactly. Not believing in God doesn't make you intolerant. I accept people and accept their faiths if that is what they believe.I think you are confusing lack of tolerance with having another point of view.
This is just my own personal experiences, but I have found that if someone from a family who are not Christians have a son or daughter who decides to be a Christian then the family usually have no problem with it whatsoever.Yes we respect the right of anyone to believe what they want but we do not have to respect that belief. This is key and often forgotten in these politically correct times. Free speech has been hard won. Remember religion is still trying to suppress scientific knowledge today sometimes in terrible ways. There's a Christian museum in America that depicts humans and dinosaurs existing as contemporaries - as somebody said - it's the only museum in the world where you come out more ignorant than before you went in. America is on a par with Turkey where belief in evolution is concerned - that's something they should be embarrassed and ashamed about.
Listen it's quite simple - most of us atheists by definition think your gods are man-made fairy tales - are we not entitled to speak of this? (in some theocracies you know the answer).
I agree that Otis is a great bloke and guess what - his personal morality comes from normal human decency and not because or any rewards in heaven or because his god told him to be nice.

I have friends who are out and out Tories. I am way over the other side and would describe myself as a socialist most probably.
I am incredibly tolerant of them. We just have differing views on the world.

On the other side of the coin however, I have found that quite a number of people from devout Christian families, who find they no longer believe and want to break free quite often encounter real problems and fracturing of the family equilibrium.
I would say Atheists can be a lot more tolerant than those of a faith, because they don't have a doctrine laid down for them to observe and obey.
Tell me how it goes without religion l? Oh yeah pretty similar if not worse. Stalin, polpot, Burundi, Rwanda. Not that that's good enough as I expect brtter from a belief system that follows Jesus the prince of peace.How does that work? You read the bible or qran to find truths about how the world was formed or we came about? Adam and Eve? A 7 day creation by an old man in the sky? Any proof? How can you research further- it is the final word of God? Well that's that with bible and qran. If you try and reinterpret the qran you could end being thrown off a building or being burned to death. Let's stick to science and peer review. Religion has got nothing to offer - no facts, contradicting messages cherry picked by the followers and endless religious wars and persecution.
Err..... this is the UK. We were only taught Christianity at school and nothing at all about any other faiths. I am older than you.dont twist things. pathetic from you
where have i said not beleiving is intolerent? i said your attitude to religions is.
all you bang on about is the bible. do you know the religion i follow is insistent on equal rights for men and women? also homosexuals are not mentioned so not outlawed.
if you have an issue with christianity thats up2u. dont act like there is no other out there because it doesnt fit your narrative.
All of us I think.Anyone else here a Scientologist?
And here's the nub of why religion is so scary - Homosexuals (lucky for them) are not mentioned so not outlawed! Are we to infer that if your book had mentioned them as sinful this would have trumped your own values of tolerance?all you bang on about is the bible. do you know the religion i follow is insistent on equal rights for men and women? also homosexuals are not mentioned so not outlawed.

I went to a Christian church every Sunday for many years.
I focus on Christianity because that is what I know. I am not at all an expert on Hinduism, Islam or any other faith.
Do you wish me to talk about stuff I don't know?
I am not intolerant to religion at all. I may not be at all and expert on any other religion, but that does not make me intolerant.
I ask again, where have I shown intolerance?
Well yes, exactly. As I say, I do know Christianity well, I know just a little of other religions.read up before saying why is god like this and why is god like that? you only want answers to Christianity so ill leave pete to answer those.
If you look back ,I said I labeled the thread incorrectly.human intolerance you should have labelled the thread then
On the note of religion, some of the stuff people are saying to Anthony Joshua because he was praying in a mosque in Dubai is pathetic.
Anybody would think he has been recruiting for ISIS or something.
What's wrong with him praying in a mosque?On the note of religion, some of the stuff people are saying to Anthony Joshua because he was praying in a mosque in Dubai is pathetic.

You keep avoiding the answer as you don't accept it and that's fine / your choice . Adam and Eve is not literal truth it is a myth it's written as a myth it's accepted as such. You research further by reading by listening by asking etc etc . Rabbi means teacher. Jewish rabbis would sit and talk and debate and come to conclusions based on combined wisdom. Man corrupts as does power. And ultimate power corrupts ultimately. Remove religion fuckwits will use money, race, class etc etc etc. It's a meaningless argument to say religion is rubbish because it causes all wars. It's as stupid as me saying if we were all truly Christian there would be world peace
I'd wait until he was fasting and a bit weaker and then judas him to be honest. Then Ruben would back me up if he got a bit lairy.
Bloke had a picture of him praying, responses include "get out of my country" :emoji_hushed:
I think it's a need not a concept.
What gets you out of bed sick boy?
Absolutely agreedActually I said before that religion has no monopoly on doing disgusting things. It is, however, obviously not the solution to world peace. To argue that other people are bad or worse doesn't give you a "get out of jail free" card. Replacing Stalin with ISIS would not be much better, if at all. I have no where said that religion is responsible for all wars. It isn't, but it has had a damn good go at it.
May the Cruise be with you brethren.All of us I think.
How many other animals, apart from humans, under the need/concept of meaning?
Early morning boxing, the gym or making breakfast for my girlfriend.
some religions say that human form is the highest and only in this form can we find salvation
thats tied in with reincarnation where you go through lives animals etc until born as a human
The last line was a tongue in cheek comment; Your response to my post (you chose to ignore the rest), suggests that you feel victimised - unless of course y are are also being tongue in cheek as it were.last line makes out like you playing the victim mate
fact is martcov has been by the rudest poster in this thread. nothing to do with "simply asking for evidence"
why is everyone posting with an agenda ffs.

Ok I find that most successful people books refer to the need for an overall target/vision etc to ensure you are able to know which way to move and have a framework for making decisionsHow many other animals, apart from humans, under the need/concept of meaning?
