Then no one is going to respect yours.
What you just said is a load of ****.

You should respect their opinion, even if you don't like it :\

I earn respect and people should earn theirs. If people are gonna start mugging off something and saying how it's a load of crap then I'm gonna mug them off.

Ok, step back, take a deep breath and notice what a hypocrit you just were.

Dance offers an opinion. You say what the said a load of **** and people should respect each others opinions.

Notice the problem?

Thinking someone elses opinion is stupid is an equaly valid opinion as the one put forward to start with. You should always allow people to have and state there opinions, but at no point, ever, should you be forced to respect it. By doing so you take away any value or merit from you own opinions.

I dont belive in god, im not a theist, thus i belive these people are just as delusional as those who take the bible literal. Not quite as completely and utterly stupid, these ones appear to have brains at least, but still deluded. If no evedence suggests somthing, beliveing in it is absured. You may as well belive in invisable pink dinosuars named tim or bob.

I'm a Catholic and don't feel the need to be an evangelist or prostitute or w.e. and I'm certainly not believing in the 3432 gods that other religions have.

[Nixt]

That's exactly my religion . I read a lot into Christianity and religion, the existence of God etc and came to the conclusion that Christianity is the right choice. I eventually decided to follow the Liberal Christian path .

Yes thats exactly me aswell.

That my friend is why its called a Faith You have to have faith in God and his existence because there is no evidence of his existence

The guy has a point, people choose what to have faith in, and they don't need to be told that they are deluded because of that. It's like, for kids, there is no evidence of Santa Claus' existence, but they believe it anyway.

except santa brings them presents and is at the mall downtown where you sit on his lap.

God is just supposed to be. You have to accept everything the people who made up the religion decide.

I don't know if there is a god or not but I am not all closed off to the fact.
I don't think there is the God of christianity or any other religion but there might be some superpower who set up the universe a few billion years ago but has not done anything since.

[Virgin Mary]

People have faith in some theories like gravity and water being H20, but without evidence nothing is right or wrong.

No, thats just a load of rubbish they feed you to convince you of that fact, you yourself dont even belive it because it makes no sence.

Even to have faith you need a reason. Your reason is because people, be it your family, friends of just the old book told you to.
Take Tim, hes an invisible floating green dinosaur. Do you believe he exists? Do you have any reason for beliveing or not beliveing? have you even concidered the matter before.
No, because theres no evedence suggesting it, so its a none issue. Just like god is. But if you had faith im Tim, maybe things would be differnt.

Or to take a better quote:

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just go one god further than you. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
- Stephen Robert

People have faith in some theories like gravity and water being H20, but without evidence nothing is right or wrong.

The things are still right or wrong, we just dont know which is which at the time. Plus we dont have faith in gravity like the example suggests you do god. I have evdence for gravity, when i drop somthing it falls. If i have evdence, and proof, its not really faith.

I think that religion is for weaker minded people that can't accept that there is no explination to certain things and want an answer.

What happens after death? No-one really knows. They use religion to explain things no matter how far fetched regigios theorys may be.
