Nope you wont be punished for saying them. Not believing in them, it depends on how you live your life to a degree. Catholics believe in Purgatory, which you probably didnt know. Now please show me how I am a hypocrite.

I agree with most of your posts in Micro [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] And actually on some social policies, I think we are closer than you might suspect.

Your post is not really about religion, it is about yourself, your biases, your misperceptions, etc. Look into that and you will learn a lot.

I love this thread. People take one of his points and say "you really don't know what you are talking about with regard to religion x" - subtly suggesting that with regard to the other religions listed there is a font of knowledge being displayed.

Not really. There's lots of significant differences.
You don't really know anything about any of these religions, do you? What a retarded post...

the moral is that all religons are evil.
made to control people.

churches invent stories and make up symbols to attract followers...

I don't find it wrong to believe in a higher being, I respect that. But to believe in the lame stories that religions invented is just pathetic

And for a religious person to believe that only HIS church has the probability of being right (let's say a catholic, who stats that it's impossible for a muslim to be correct).

A rational approach for a religious man would be to state the following:
"I am a catholic because I believe it is the one with highest probability of being true.

and then make a little matrix of possibilities:
30% catholic
15% other christian beliefs
10% islamism
9% hinduism
8% buddism
(...) until
SUM = 100%

so the person IS a catholic, but he knows that he is probably wrong (only 30% chance of being right).

This is way more realistic.. but religious folks dont think

Bull. I just know more about Judaism than the others. So I picked it out.

I think this entire post is crap, personally.
