  “Philosophical”.

  It’s creationism, pure and simple.

    Never said I agreed with it. Just pointed him in the direction of some of the more progressive ideologies.

    ID believes in science and evolution, but believes that it was part of “God’s” plan.

    Creationists denounce those who believe in ID as atheists.

    I’m here for a conversation, but if you want to devolve things, you can head over to 9gag

      Utterly false. ID is a “wedge strategy” to insert creationism in schools.

      I think we should push religion to be more progressive, and bring them closer to everyone else’s reality.

      I think we should cut totally any influence of religion in education and politics. And then use education to help believers realize themselves that religion is nonsense and that they should drop it.

      “Push religion” is leaving space to religions to be considered acceptable ideas. That space should be reduced to zero by exposing its absurdity.

        There will always be people following religion. By making such a finite divide, and not inviting individuals from both worlds of thought to conversation, you’re creating a larger divide. I think we want people sharing ideas, and being okay with each other, even though their worlds are different.

        I think the world would be better without religion, but that’s impossible.

        There will always be people who can’t handle reality by themselves and need to rely on the idea that there’s a higher power looking out for them.

        What we have today is a terrible divide, built by extremists on both sides. One saying you’re going to hell, and the other saying your train of thought has no place in this world.

        People will be people, and you gotta do what you can to get a common ground where everyone can exist together.
