2) Truth is thrilling.
The sky is blue.

I am not thrilled therefore it must be a lie.

Well there would be certainly more debate and discussion in Eastern religions, but the illiterate rural people seems to believe anything you say would bring them rewards!

Once again, if ignorance is bliss, you are in a truly Unique state of happiness.

Either that or you're a Robin Williams level comedian.

One needs only to read the Atheists who post on this forum to see the fallacy of your statement.

Not quite. You'll notice that on this thread alone, others have voiced similar opinions. Given my personal experience here and in the RW, I'd be willing to bet real money that the majority of freethinkers feel exactly the same way.

Quick reply here: I challenge you to find one government representative in the PRC who would deny that they have Freedom of Religion in China. However, reality differs from what they say.

And what I have read on this forum differs from what you claim.

You don't understand. The Atheist was belittling me for not having faith in another Atheist.

In California, the Hayward Unified School District has given permission for homosexual teachers to discuss their "alternative lifestyle" without parental consent. Additionally, school districts in California are beginning to introduce pro-homosexual lessons beginning in the second grade. At Park Day, a private school in Oakland, California, children Kindergarten through sixth grade were introduced to 45 gay, lesbian and transgender speakers from their community.

From kindergarten through grade 12, California pupils will face material in all subjects that openly promotes homosexuality, bisexuality and even transvestitism, if a new state task force report on the state’s pro-“gay” school law is implemented.

It's the same way here in rural areas. You find the more fundamentalist versions of Christianity in small towns and country sides than in larger cities, for the most part.

Erm... How come there are so many Christians in India? Maybe not Uttar Pradesh but how about Madras? If Christianity poses no threat to hinduism then why are Christians being persecuted there?
