PlagueBearer, I have to say, although I recognize your name from around the forums, I simply don't remember you having been quite this offensive, before. Maybe I haven't been paying attention.
So far, you have asserted that we (I) Should go back to being a completely religious society ("We (and by "we" I mean "you") need to go back to your Gods and stop divorcing and trying to change marriage into something it's not."), because :
Need religion ("Our (and again, by "our" I mean "your") minds are wired for faith: it fills a need within us, it gives us a "high". It's likely this evolved as a control mechanism.")
Are more are less unable to help our actions, or at the very least should not be held responsible for them ("It is not the "bully's" fault, nor his parents. We're all operating under a set of instincts that learned behavio can only do so much to alter.")
Would all be bullies if we were capable of it ("It's as natural as an alpha lion wounding a young rival, or a matriarch whale forcing another female to abort her pregnancy. Establishing dominance is entirely natural behavior in any social species.")
Will go insane without religion ("Without these chemicals we (you) become unbalanced, simmilar to an addict not getting his fix.", "With it gone, our (your) minds become imbalanced and violent. You go into a "rogue" state of mind, simmilar to how lions go insane separated from a pride")
Are born into our place in life ("put in place to make us (you) easyer to control by those born to be leaders.")
So you're saying that I, having experienced the Christian faith from several different angles, and having turned from it to a life completely free of religion, will soon go insane as a result? That it's natural for me to want to bully people and beat up on them if I percieve them as a threat, and since it's a natural instinct, that I should be excused for doing so?
Please keep in mind that you're making waves in the OTF with your offensive remarks - if it weren't for the fact that this particular "tribe" is online, then I suppose I would be perfectly excused for killing you, to stop you from being a threat to said "tribe"? I find that idea fascinating... and completely and totally wrong.
I have lived without religion for over two years now, since the last vestiges of my faith were left behind along with my marriage. I tried faith, and it failed me. It served no purpose in my life, it added nothing to me, I experienced no highs from it... it was two hours of every week wasted to a purposeless, mindless droning. It changed nothing about me, and I am perfectly capable of controlling myself. I feel no urge to run around killing people, regardless of their status in any way, shape, or form (Well, okay, I think murderers should be killed, instead of wasting tax money to keep them alive and comfortable in jail...), and I am actually quite a nice, friendly, compassionate man, who readily offers help to those who need it. I'm sure there are many, many others here that can say the same. So when does this insanity kick in? I'd like to know, because there's a huge portion of this forum, along with many of my friends, that'll be losing it pretty soon - and I'd like to know when to take cover.
