Blogs are a dime a dozen. Could you please summarize?

Thanks.

Nothing new ... and your overall style is a bit overly aggressive

Knowledge is power. We will never stop the fight against religion and our words, science, logic, and common sense are our weapons.
NIce if a bit obvious ... However

Never use violence, if you do all you have done is lower yourself to the level of the towel heads strapped with explosives and the last thing the world needs is more chaos because religion is causing enough of that ...
:huh: Was that necessary

...and if your wondering taking a human life not in self defense or from capital punishment is the most evil thing someone could possibly do because its total murder not temporary murder and I don't need some book filled with fake morality to give me morality.
I do not believe in Capital punishment IMO simply because it is state (goverment) sanctioned does not make it necessary / acceptable. I find your stance somewhat odd when you give so many examples of acts preformed under a legal system, that you find barbaric.

Now I know that there are no Atheists that are going to try and kill the Pope like the Muslims have.
There are "whack - jobs" in every belief system so at best you can only say that as far as you know there have been no such examples yet. :devil1:

Welcome :wave: hopefully your interaction here will be more than just posting links.

Glad you are being proactive, have found a voice to express yourself, and have a support circle (friends etc).... I only wish there was more dialouge among the not just the young (I assumed based on your friends list etc ) but all age groups.

Just FYI, blog-pimping is generally not considered a productive mode of discussion on IIDB. Do you have anything specific you would like to discuss?

And when when forming the contraction of 'you' and 'are', one drops the 'a' and substitutes an apostrophe, leaving the 'e'. Life lessons.

How is this racist speech any different from the racism promoted by various religions? :huh:

<Putting on my englis teacher hat>

Ugh ! I would advise you to continue your study of the english language with particular attention to composition.

For example, why is all this constructed as a single sentence ?

<Fortuna gets her red pen >

Never use violence, Do not use violence.(added full stop) if When you do resort to the use of violence all you have done is you will have lower lowered yourself to the level of the towel heads strapped with explosives the religious radicals.(added full stop). The last thing the this world needs is more chaos. (added full stop) because Religion Religious radicals is causing throughout history have caused enough of that. (added full stop)

This next sentence needs to be completely rewritten. I'll try to correct it but it looks hopeless. Thouhg quite frankly I'm not sure what it is trying to express relative to the phrase at the end of the sentence.
( and if your YOU'RE wondering ) If you believe that the taking of a human life not in self defense or (not) from capital punishment (poor construction of compound modifier as to application of negative modifier "not". I added a second "not" for clarity [not that it helps much]) is the most evil thing act someone( I would recommend using "one" instead here) could possibly do because its total murder not temporary murder. (I think a full stop should go here as it seems un-connected to the next phrases)

and I don't need some book filled with fake morality to give me morality.

This is incoherent, I think what he wants to say is something like this ;

I question the value of a moral system derived from a text that claims to be revealed from a supernatural source. I am capable of forming a system of morality from reason and experience.

Dude, I question what level of education in english you have achieved. Perhaps english is your second language ? It for me (my second language) and I can tell you that it takes a bit of work and study to become proficient.

If so, allow yourself some more study time with the language before attempting this again.

Thank you.

It has been 5 days since the OP opened and the OP'er has not responded. I'm moving this thread to "Elsewhere" due to the lack of generating any real discussion.
