Heathens

Name: Anonymous 2010-06-28 17:21

What happens to people who've never had Christianity introduced to them? Like tribal folk and regions or even individuals isolated from the world?



Are they deemed as heathens by the Lord and cast into hell? Maybe we should crusade to these parts of the word and spread the word of Christ to make sure they find salvation.

Listen fuckface, atheism has nothing to do with rebellion.
WAHHH, I hate God and religion so I'm just going to attack it endlessly forever because I simply can. Seriously, it's nothing more that just angst and rebellion, much like the sexual revolution/hippie era of the late 1960s, without much reasoning except that they have the liberty to.

Like I said, most of them are 14 year old adolescents who get into atheism because it's the trendy thing to do. I've seen families break apart because of it. Not to mention the ideas behind it are responsible for much of the death and destruction of the last century.

Of course that's not to excuse the fundamentalist Christians, who I feel are also a damaging aspect to society, and I'm seeing a rise in fundamentalism intertwining with the military. This is quite a scary thing indeed. Which goes against the Just War Theory of not attacking people as a first resort to solving problems, exactly why there's the never ending bogging down war in Afghanistan.

I think that perversion of Christianity and religion in general towards warmongering behavior is what's causing the current rise in atheism, but this is also a problem as you're just throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I think the main concern is to avoid both extreme ends of the spectrum, that being the militant rebellious atheism and also the extreme insane fundamentalism on the other end. Either one can eventually lead to an unstable society and political upheavel.
