God Did Not Create The Universe, Says Hawking

Religion has nothing to do with fantasy. If someone wants to be religious leave them be. I always looked at religion as a devotion to a way of life, towards a god of that religion. In some cases both religions may be worshiping the same god(s).

The topic is about theism vs Atheism yet you always see people bashing others in the thread based on their religion , it always turns out like this.

Most of the fighting you see on forums is because one side picks on someone for believing in a religion. I do not look at religion that way if anything it is just a group of people worshiping a way if life to an All Mighty being. This is why when I see people fighting it makes no sense to me.

Theism and atheism are like two sides of a coin. One can not live with out the other. Then you have people on both sides of that said coin agreeing and disagreeing with each other, then many points of views come out in a clusterfuck of a mess. With so many people on both sides agreeing and disagreeing with each other what is the point of the arguing? Then bashing people because they are from a religion you do no like.

I heard someone say this once.. "it is ok for "insert religion here" to believe in a god, but to believe in a religion is stupid"

Basically they do not hate their beliefs but what they represent? What does this have to do with anything, if it is ok if they believe in god(s), what does it have to do with religion?

A real atheist no matter what looks at all religion and treats it all the same. But there are those who only bash two religious groups with out knowing ***about any groups, and one is hated more than the other. While there are innocent people inside the religion who are good people. These are the atheists and theists that I can not stand. But more hate is coming from one side over the other who usually starts fights.

Islam (Muslims) did not do anything to fake atheist, radical terrorists are your problem. Most Christians are not going to shove ***down your throat, heck most religions will not, there are those crazy people in each religion who will. Oh and it is still not a reason to a group of people when you do not know nothing about them. Concerning Muslims to not even mention or try to base your reason for hate is that they treat women like ***, because it will go out of one ear and through my other ear. Use a better argument to hate someone, if you can not do that bash on all religions as a whole, not just two or the ones you do not like that the time. Because you are making your self look like a huge hypocrite.

Atheist also was not founded on the basis of science stop using it like a silly crutch, find something else. For theists and atheists one can not be with out the other it is that simple;
Without Theism, there can be no Anti-theism. Without anti-theism, there can easily still be Theism. (if this was not understood any theist knows science exists same as atheists)

Problem here is this these two can co-exist as what said by many a fine scientist/Physicist. Now throw in religion and science (I did not want to do this) this means they can also co-exit pretty much one is blind with out the other.

So please this stupid bickering over who is right and wrong has no valid basis. People have plenty of views , That is Steven Hawking's view. Any good person knows not to answer stuff they do not know, at the end of it all, these are only theories of how the universe started, it could be anything.

Any real atheist/theist has utter respect for everyone else's beliefs.


PS: Atheists and theist, or religious people, can all look equally HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. You will gain nothing from trying to know your origin. Deal with it and find something better to do with your time.
