Religion - Join in the fun!

[BIG WORM]

I agree if I did live over in the Middle East I would most likely be killed for the beliefs I have here in the United States. Of course if I would have grown up over there I am willing to bet that my views on this subject would be drastically different, due to the fact that they them selves are so close minded that no other alternative to their religion is tolerated.



Religion may or may not be a joke to you, but to me it is and I have the right to think that, just as you have the right to choose to believe in a religion. I also realize that the 10 commandments are part of other religions aside from just Christianity.

(All whom are non religious, Atheist, Agnostic...Please take the time to answer this.)

Everyone has their doubts about religion from time to time. But for one to mock one's religion openly, is equivalent to putting down a mans wife in public. It's not right, nor is it progression any any form.

Secondly, This is a question that goes out to all that are NOT Religious. Sure all normal people have their doubts religion, but how does someone that's not religious go about explaining themselves to a loved one on their death bed?
Someone you care for deeply, your mother or father.
Do you challenge them like you do me?
Do you mock them for having religion?
Or if they have no religion, do you comfort them by telling them that the afterlife is false?

...and if it's not that their going to hell for trusting in you?

Or lets say that the girl of you dreams, your high school sweetheart, is taking her last breaths, she's given 24 hours to live. She is unsure of her thoughts about religion, but wants to get it right before she dies. She looks into your eyes for advise, answers, and comfort. You, (MANIA, QWICK) have the option to say or do whatever you please at this moment. No one is around. It's just you and her. What does you conscience tell you to do?

(this is a very likely situation, if you haven't had someone extremely close to you pass yet, you definitely will.)
