Yes, ALL Christians think exactly the same fucking way...
Try learning a little about the religion before pulling some absolute fucking idiocy out of your ass.
It IS a fairly common belief but it's totally ungrounded.
Get your head out of your ass before opening your mouth, it tastes better that way.

But the Bible says animals have no souls. Only BAD Christians think animals will go to heaven.

Are you a good Christian or a bad Christian?

One can be a good Christian without believing everything that is written in the Bible. Also, the Bible was written (and re-written) by humans, and no human is perfect. It is psychologically important to say that only humans have souls, since the Bible would have been more easily dismissed otherwise. It would be “unthinkable” otherwise to many people that we kill creatures with souls for food or sport, also if an animal that licks its balls or sniffs butts has a soul – how much could a soul be really worth? Humans as a whole are arrogant and not ready to believe that animals have souls too.
Whether God or the miracle of nature and evolution created life on Earth, why would humans be the only ones to possess a soul?

If you admit the bible was written by humans, you have no basis for your religion. REPENT, FOR REALITY WILL CONSUME YOU.
Religion is one of the most "soul-shackling" things to exist, ever.
From what I see you are not a christian, and only call yourself one. The people who run your religion, and the ones long gone who created it would probably either linch you, or exile you for being a blasphemer.

Almost as bad as the "I'm sure there's something....." brigade. Heads up, pseudogodfags, you cant pick and choose what bits are acceptable to you and justify it later. Start pulling planks out and the whole ramshackle building falls down in a cloud of objectivity and reason.

Truly, spoken like someone who has never thought it through. If animals had an (eternal) soul, it should be fine to kill them, because you're not really killing them.
Same with people. It's only when you accept that there is no soul that the act of killing really shows its terrible nature. It is final and destructive, not a transition to a better place or any of that crap.
This is why religious people find it so easy to justify murder, and make me sick to my stomach.

Faggots can't even define a soul, but they think they can deny its existence in other species

Never made fuck all sense to me and I'm the product of a Catholic upbringing.

As far as I'm concerned denying others souls with no evidence is proof of having no soul yourself

I'm not a Christian and I don't call myself one. However, times have changed and fewer Christians are as uptight as you make them out to be. But yes; I've met some folk who call any ideas different from those presented in the Bible "perverse." Religion is one of the building blocks of human culture and existence - sometimes being "soul-shackled" is a good thing, especially if you like to murder things. Look at the Ten Commandments; they DO make sense and are an important thing to live by, even when you are not religious.

No, only about half of the Ten Commandments make any fucking sense unless you are a religious zealot. Have you even read them, or do you just THINK that you know what they say? Let's take a look at the first three:

1. I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain.
3. Keep holy the Sabbath day.

You're not a Christian? Well, looks like you're fucked!

A better rule to live by is the Golden Rule. Do unto others and all that shit. Religion doesn't have to define your morality.
>> Anonymous

Alright. But without the requirement to follow and obey someone (something) with a higher power and sense of morality than yourself, people are far less likely to care about, know about and follow ANY rules.
When someone steals your girlfriend and messes up your hair in the process, will you still care about some "do unto others" rule or break out the weaponry?

So you're saying atheists would be more prone to commit crimes than Christians/those of other religions?

Because the statistics don't follow your bullshit. People are -not- more likely to do bad things because they don't believe in something bigger than themselves. If anything, Christians get a free pass because they can fuck up, fuck up, and continue fucking up, as long as they ask for forgiveness in the end. That would make them more likely to be assholes on earth because hey, they'll go to heaven anyway!

So basically, you're saying all Christians believe that if not for some invisible being in the sky, Christians would gleefully rape and murder to your hearts' content?

That this "God" is the only thing keeping Christians in check from doing all those things, and if one day, if this "God" took a vacation in the andromeda galaxy, we will face a horde of raping murdering Christians whose morals immediately crumbled?


... This I gotta see.

Oh dear, the Ten Commandments. Half of them is basically this random god bleating about how he's all powerful and he should be worshipped, which has nothing to do with morality.

It also interestingly does not mention anything against discrimination, slavery or rape, because all this was fine and dandy in the days of cattle-sacrificing primitives.

It also designates women as property.

I'd be disturbed as fuck if someone said they lived by the Ten Commandments.

You must be one retarded, deranged fuckhead with some serious issues: Girlfriends are not your property, they can't be "stolen". And so what if someone messes up your hair? It's just hair.

And nobody would break out their weaponry for any extreme combination of those two things. Yeah, it's piss annoying to find a new girlfriend and redo your hair, but it's nothing to pull a gun out for.

That said, I'm glad to know that some imaginary invisible being in the sky is the only thing protecting me from you going nuts over some little thing and pointing a gun at my head.

I see your point and know what sort of people you are talking about - they are just hypocrites. Only calling themselves religious and going to church to make them feel better and keep up appearances. This is, of course, a very unpopular thing to say, but hypocrisy exists everywhere. It still doesn’t make religion bad. Atheists are just as capable of hypocrisy, good and evil as everyone else and can still follow the ideals of a positive religion - I’m not saying they can’t. I’m saying, very basically; the apprehension (fear) of being “left out” and not getting the reward (paradise, afterlife, community, etc…) makes people “pull themselves together” and not act as selfishly as they normally might. Everyone needs something positive to believe in. Also - It’s trusting in something positive that inspires to do good, and religion is one of the most universally enduring things to believe in.

Religion existed long before you were born. You wouldn't kill someone if they took your cow, or goat or girlfriend in this day and age (there are exceptions) but "back then" it was serious business.

"Our ancestors did it and it was fine for them, so it's perfectly fine for us to do today" - right.

We're not cattle-sacrificing primitives with the values and ideologies of cattle-sacrificing primitives.

It doesn't further your argument at all about why anyone ought to believe in religions TODAY.

Nevertheless, glad to know that you believe in the idea of revenge by proxy: after all, believing that YOUR GOD will send anyone who pisses you off into hell neatly takes the blame out of the equation, doesn't it?

Humans are no different genetically from the times of the "cattle-sacrificing primitives." I'm saying that without religion, society would not be as advanced today. That doesn't mean that people who are not religious are inferior at all! I'm not religious either (although I do believe in souls) - I just recognise and respect the power of religion and belief more than you.

Ever heard of the Dark Ages? Even look at today! All this fuss over having a correct biology lesson in schools!

Even when talking about Non-Abramic religions, religion always pretty much fucked a country up. Look at India being the shithole it is today despite its vast natural and human resources. Look at Japan and its fucked up socially repressed inhabitants.

Yeah, there has been terrible conflict within and with other religions. A lot of this can be traced back to selfishness, greed and hypocrisy - reading and writing religion the way it suits only yourself. Most religions don't support the negatives that arise from these “misinterpretations”, let alone, the “misinterpretations” themselves. In other words; how can those who do terrible things in the name of religion be truly religious?
As for the fuss over biology lessons – I think Penn & Teller did a show on that.
You’re saying religion isn’t that great because of all the crap that’s happening over it. I’m saying that some people are misusing religion and/or forgetting the good that can come out of it. Beyond that - I wish I had a solution for the problems you mentioned, but I don't. Just don't be so quick to dismiss religion as something bad.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Religion is used as a tool to commit atrocities and always will be. Any good is massively eclipsed by everything else religion causes. Being optimistic that religion will help people is just stupid. It's not going to happen. Religion does, and always will do more damage than anything.
The people acting under religious ideals that commited said atrocities are religious. Ever read the old testament? Or even the new.
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." Jesus, Matthew 10:34-36
And trust me, that's not out of context. I'm sure you have a bible, go read all the lines nicely outlined in red because the "almighty son of god" has spoken.

IAWTC. Religion always has been, and always will be, a tool used by the upper echelons to justify committing atrocities to gain more power and wealth. If you think that religion is all sunshine and daisies, keeping people from robbing and raping each other out of fear of an almighty being, you are fucking deluded.
