I misunderstood.

Anyway, assuming his list of "religions" is just bullshit (Communism?) I'll say The Church of the Subgenius, which teaches that one must always pursue "slack", and live your life by the model set by J.R. Bob Dobbs, the Slack Master.


Notice I put "and also some which aren't religion", and clearly, that's not the list of all religions and was put in as a joke.

I think I posted badly, let me rephrase...

I think that atheists have the best morals, simply because they contain no requirement for divine back-up.


you're ****ing annoying.

atheists don't have a 'set of morals' ergo they cant have the best morals you idiot

So because an old book doesn't tell Atheists what's right and wrong they don't know what is right and wrong? Individuals make their own morals based off of their experiences and surroundings, which include religion, but also laws, parenting and your neighborhood.

At least that's my take on it.

you misunderstand. the topic is saying 'based on morals, what is the best religion to follow' religions and faiths etc all have some sort of code to follow, either rules or guidelines depending on what it is, atheists can range from murderers to very good people, whilst you can put (for example) muslim into a 'rule' category, whether or not all people that claim to be muslim follow these rules is irrelevent, the rules are there, and this is what the topic is based on.

atheism doesnt have such rules or guidelines.

Atheism all the way.
It's the best it:
-Moral views.
-Ethical view.
-It's the most scientifically accurate and realistic (Catholics are against science e.g. they don't like the idea of splitting atoms so we can understand how the world we live in is created and structured. If Catholics were leading Earth we would live in the middle ages. The times that most pleased them --> Sitting in a cathedral eating pork and drinking wine while peasants were outside building more churches and eating whatever they could find. And all that in the name of God.)

Thats, IMO.

Wow. Do you know how many people you just lumped together in one group and criticized? There are good-willed, technology embracing Catholics out there you asshole.


I am binning this because it's just turned into a cluster**** of negative stereotypes and elitism.
