evilhorus Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 [quote name='Twilight Sparkle' timestamp='1322466060' post='5671834'] I take offense to that though. Religion isn't the problem, it's the hypocrites that practice it. I for one enjoy religions, it's just some of the people can get really stupid and annoying to it. [/quote]Sorry about that. I read below your post that your Christian. I have very strong opinions on Christianity and I don't think I'd be able to voice them correctly. If there was a thread debating this I'd be more than happy to share my opinions although they may seem nonsensical or irrelevant. Again, sorry if you were offended.

Resident Fascist Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 [quote name='Tentacruel' timestamp='1322485180' post='5671991'] I wouldn't say that we're really stuck up about censoring sex, (we are little), as much I would say we're overly lenient with violence. [/quote] Overly lenient? Censorship in general is stupid. I'm not saying anything is evil, I just posted my definition. I'm not religious in the slightest, nor scientific. To be honest I don't really care, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well, let's just look at an example. Off-screen sex scenes in M-rated video games send parental groups into a frenzy. Saving Private Ryan somehow got an R-rating even with it's gratuitous violence when it could have very easily been X or NC-17 or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 This conversation deserves this video: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/evolution/intelligent-design-trial.html It's a very interesting story. Watch it all when you find time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Personally I don't think teaching Religious things in public schools has much to do with the separation of church and state, it's just plain dumb. However I do think it is stupid that people get all freaked out when anyone says that there could be any possibility of a deity existing. Intelligent Design shouldn't be taught in public schools, but teachers shouldn't get in trouble for mentioning it exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] My dad's girlfriend has said that she doesn't care if her kids see violent things ( And I mean torn apart bodies and bashing brains, real hardcore violence). But, if a movie has a "sex scene" even one that is mostly off screen and completely under the covers, she flips out. So yeah, America is messed up with censorship. Also, we've watched Saving Private Ryan in Sophomore year in high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Î’yakuya Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I hate your family and friends Batshit. If people will keep throwing away their knowledge and future for personal obsessions, and keep submitting to religion, the world will be a f****d up place. I never actually heard about science being retarded, but it's quite a surprise for me since I'm just a high school student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 To be honest, it really doesn't matter if you're good with it or not. People can worship a hermaphrodite alpaca from Uranus and they would have every right to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermes was a hermaphrodite and I think Aphrodite was too that's where the name came from. Zeus often turned into animals to "fornicate" with women. (alpaca) and, Uranus was one of the Roman gods (can't remember the Greek name). Just felt the need to point that out. That being said, I agree with your statement.
