Seriously 5th Circuit? Requiring 10 Commandments is ok?

One step backwards towards a Christofascist state. This is insane and I think an appeal to SCOTUS would be sidestepped somehow. I feel sorry for the kids in Louisiana being indoctrinated.

I am so sick of seeing Chris Pratt and his prayer and Christianity ads!!

This man’s ads are like a plague! Popping up unexpectedly when I’m just trying to scroll on the internet. Like why would I want to hear some mid actor’s opinion on religion!? Go away!

That’s all. Rant done.

Religious people are the biggest hypocrites on the planet.

I was talking to someone and they said that they were a practicing Christian. I said oh how are you practicing if you don’t follow the teachings? They responded well I’m not perfect. I don’t get that. In my head you’re either in or you’re out. They act like it’s impossible to follow the teachings but don’t wanna walk away from it at the same time.

As if life isn't fucked up enough already these days, another war between crazy religious fruitcakes is just what our Planet needed right now.

Sin is the stupidest concept religions like Christianity have come up with it

The idea that some god would try to control your life and deem your activities sinful is so stupid to me. For starters, no dumb god could ever or will ever control mine or anyone else's choices. Second of all, the things labeled as sins are things that aren't even problematic. I think it's crazy that Abrahamic religions care so much about homosexuality or who people sleep with. I'm like, this is the shit your "god" is worried about? The supposed infinitely wise god you worship is worried about stupid shit like this? Is your "God" stupid? Honestly, the list of stupid beliefs and rules in Christianity, Islam, and so many more religions is beyond embarrassing. I'm thankful for anyone who hasn't gotten wrapped up in that nonsense.

In my country, you could get killed for criticizing religion

In my country, if you blaspheme, people might try to track you down. Your address could get leaked so they can find you and just attack you especially if you criticize religion and i'd say more islam

Yet blasphemy is legally allowed and even protected in my country ( France ) Even if you’re just making a criticism, people can go crazy over it. Yet my country is supposed to be secular. But no! For most of the people you cant blaspheme you cant say the truth and what you think about they freaking religion, ( otherwise its Islamophobia, Christianophobia, but yes I am, and i can say that i am cause its my right, nothing about Muslim, Christian people otherwise its called discrimination of course )


I’ve already received death threats. People have said they would come kill me, that they want me dead, or that they would come beat me up bla bla bla just because I said their god was bullshit and their religion as well

If everyone was an atheist then churches would be a cool place for communities to hang out

I’m sure we wouldn’t need all of them, because sometimes they’re built right besides each other. But where I live they are also scattered throughout neighborhoods. If church was a secular building would you hang out there?

Was this too aggressive of me?

This is my first post here so I hope this is appropriate. I am looking for feedback on whether my response was over the top (it probably was) and what you all may have done instead.

Long story short I was at the grocery store cafe waiting for my coffee order and I see a table of 3 guys in suits get up, spread out and start talking to different people. One of them came up to me, extended his hand, and said excuse me have you ever read the bible?

I told him loudly that I have a PhD in neuroscience and that I do not have time for fiction. He got the hint and left to evangelize to someone else. I then re-approached him as he was talking to someone else (they also looked uncomfortable) and suggested that he keep his religion to himself, especially since there are children around. He said okay, and the two others in his group saw this interaction and they all started gathering to leave.

As they were leaving I went over to the customer service counter and told guest services that "there were people in the cafe trying to recruit me into their cult" and that they were trying to recruit other customers in the cafe as well. I said "Not even sure what religion or cult it was but they seemed to be pretty coordinated."

The manager seemed very disgusted and asked me to point them out but they had left. I looked for them in the parking lot and if I found them I was going to ask them back inside to see if the manager would be willing to have them be permanently trespassed.

This is my neighborhood grocery store that I visit on average 3 times a week for the past 12 years so one side of me thinks I took this too personal because of that but the other side of me would prefer that people keep their religion to themselves in public. Is this too harsh?

How do I tell muslim religious guide mom that I'm atheist?

I'm 16 and I live with extremely religious parents in Italy (I feel like it's important to say that I live in Europe, since if I lived in a Muslim country the situation would be VERY different). I've been an atheist since I was 12, but this religion is still being forced on me and it's limiting my life, I am forced to wear a hijab, I'm not allowed to go out with friends bc there could be males, I have to fast, I have to study the Quran and wasting 8 hours every Saturday in the mosque to study the Quran and to participate in lessons about Islam, I can't wear short sleeves, I can't touch men who aren't related to me and most importantly can't express my queerness.

I truly feel like I am wasting my teenage years locked in my room, going to school and then at home to study a book that I don't believe in, and to pray to a god that doesn't exist.

I need to tell my mother I don't believe, but she's extremely religious, she's a religious guide with a degree in Islamic sciences, and she's also a mentally unwell person, she's bipolar 1 and ocd (with the main themes being death and religion), so I'm scared of how she would react , last time I told her I didn't want to put the hijab she hit me and threatened to take me back to Morocco to "cure me" and marry me off to someone, but now social services are keeping an eye on our situation, and I doubt she will do something like that again. What way should I tell her? What way would I have to say it to her so that nothing dramatic happens? Should I send it to her while I'm at school so she can't hit me and I can just say I won't come back home if she threatens me?

Tired of the total lack of critical thought from my christian family

Here, I write a rant of my thoughts of the religious views, and the reason why I am done with christianity (or at least, the one related to these "christian" evangelists)

I am so done with the lack of critical reasoning from the adult figures of my family and many of the adults related to this community. The only ones who are free is my brother and my sister. My parents, specially my mother, are so deep in religion rabbit holes that they have been blinded. Their religious echo chambers keep repeating dogmatic bullshit that cannot be argumented, because they refuse to deconstruct those pilars of (harmful) ideology. It all is built on the constant idea that humanity is malicious by definition, that only regret and forgiveness is the solution.

They consider that good and bad are only influenced by God and the Devil. They do not consider that perceptions of good and evil have lots of social and cultural factors, and it is not a "signal" that comes from the objectivity quantum "science" spooks.

They consider that only people who believe in Jesus AND God are the ones who deserve salvation. They believe that even the atheists who do not believe in God but had a great life of sacrifice, helping others, abiding the law, and being good by themselves (something that many christians dont even do) do not deserve heaven, but deserve limbo, a subsection of hell where they are eternally punished by the guilt of not believing in God in the material life.

They justify all their arguments exclusively over Bible histories, in fact they consider that the Bible is a book of perfection, but a quick internet search reveals the narrative inconsistencies that is present in many segments of the Bible. They will claim homosexuals are sinners because "God made humans heterosexual", and the reason is:

\- the myth of creation, which God made man and woman (a myth, with no science backup)

\- the city of Sodoma and Gomora (a myth of the destruction of the cities, no real science backups other than remains, but even if the catastrophe was real, it likely was caused by natural disasters)

Therefore, a God who also made animals which some specimens do show homosexual and transexual relations do say a lot about this God's creation, flawed by the Devil by design if we use christian logic.

Christians do not even respect the 10 amendments. When I were talking about such topics with a familiar of mine, they said, in the follwing quotes, that "homosexual people were embarrased of how they were, and only now they are asking for rights because the world has worsened", and my brother mentioned, "its not that they were embarrased, they could get killed for it" which them answered, "good"

This is absolutely disgraceful. Such God should be ashamed of leading to such ideology that wished death upon their creation.

If God were a sentient entity, it would not be concerned with such matters. But it is obvious that this concept of god, is not an entity. god is the foundation of reality, it does not listen but it is the thing that keeps reality active, like a CPU computing a simulation. god is not concerned of morals, of what people do in reality, it does not grant happiness or sadness, but it is a motor of existence (that is, the fundamental physical properties that allow existence to be such)

And the worst part is, my parents insist me on going to church to avoid "turning away from God", but this ideology has clearly shown me this is not the way I wish to follow. My life will be so much better out of this way, since it is clear that it adds layers of hate to minorities, and other actions that are attacks towards criticism and rationalism, and I refuse to blindly believe.
It is clear to me that I will tell them I am never going to church again, as it is a waste of my time in senseless words in a language I do not understand, and I rather sleep or study

Thanks you if you readed this and I apologize for wrongly written parts. I am severely upsed by a recent conversation and I need to

write it out. I am going to start reading a book called "Why I am not a Christian" by Bertrand Russel, an author I trust because I know he has a critical and logical thinking.

Boyfriend’s parents will try to convert me to Christianity. What do I do?

I am agnostic.

Starting off with my boyfriend is a Christian who grew up with a very Christian family yet still he doesn’t care what I believe in and it doesn’t bother him nor does it bother me what he believes in.

His parents are extremely religious and his dad believes he has healing powers that he can heal people with. I know they’re going to worry about me going to hell because I don’t believe in God. I know they’re going to preach to me non-stop and try and pray and bless me, but I don’t want this.

I really don’t know what to do to stop it. I want to get on with his parents when they meet them, but I really do not want them to hate me for what I believe. I accept them and respect their beliefs and I want them to do the same with me. I don’t want to be dragged into a religion.

I have a very healthy relationship with their son and I take care of him and I just want them to see that side of me. I don’t wanna change to be good enough for his parents.

I know being good enough for him is what matters but I don’t want to go through awkward preachings. I don’t mind talking about religion because it interests me when I talk about other peoples beliefs as I’m very open, but I don’t want to change for his parents to accept me.
