Yes, there's a fairly large number of Christians that make up all kinds of stuff to rationalize their decidedly un-Christlike accumulation of worldly assets, However, it's abundantly clear to many Christians that JC'c teachings on poverty were indeed all about eschewing the idea of hoarding wealth in favor of building up spiritual riches in the afterlife. They know they're being hypocrites, so how do they get around it? Simple. Jesus died for their sins and if they are "saved", their butts are covered...as long as they don't do anything unforgivable such as denying the Holy Spirit.

By singling out religion, we run the risk of letting other dogma based ideologies off the hook. Indoctrination is necessary for any political or social movement to gain a foothold. Look at the old notion of Manifest Destiny and the enormous amount of damage it has caused (or it's ideological offspring) in the world, even to this day. Combined with unfettered capitalism, it has probably been the source of more death, destruction and hardship in the last two centuries than any religion has.
Does this mean we need need to switch our focus off of religion? No, not at all, however, I don't see religion as the problem so much as faulty reasoning influencing the gullible and ignorant to do evil.
For the most part, we (atheists/secularists) react to things as they happen. If we can train the next generation to think for themselves we'll be implementing a proactive approach and directly effecting our own future.

Never was interested in group activities or organized sports. I wouldn't have known the Superbowl was today if I hadn't been asked about it from the large checkout lady at Meijer's this morning.

Sure, we can burn down Detroit like back in '67.

Agreed. We are indeed seen as not legit. Definitely not "nice".

"If the offender is black, it is noted as such.

Not in my neck of the woods. Even if there is a community BOL put out for a subject on television, no mention of race is given for fear of offending African Americans. Of course, I'm from the Detroit area.

Your explanation is more plausible than some of the alternatives being bandied about.

1 week ago @ Atheist Revolution - Mormonism: Cult, Chris... · 1 reply · +7 points

I was raised both Muslim and Christian. If Mormons are to be considered Christians, then I think that Muslims should also be classified as Christians...and Muslims are definitely NOT Christians.
Mormonism shares certain beliefs and characteristics with Christianity, but at most, it should be considered a "cousin" to Christianity. Classifying them as Christian nearly makes the term meaningless.
As to whether Mormonism is a cult...yes. In my mind, ALL religions are cults. When they pop up on our historical timeline (longevity) is irrelevant to me as this has no bearing on the belief system or message.
