2.3 - if this is religious thing and i will say my opinion

Islam and quran is meant to be the guide of the humans(not only arabs) to live the perfect way or the best way possible with each other with all races, it brings peace to those who follow it correctly.

God knows humans more than humans know their selfs and i dont think someone that believe in god will argue about this, so dont u think that god gave us the best rules in his Real books on how we should live our life's? or is it that humans dont want anyone to tell them what to do? those who dont follow god and his path will have difficulties in life, like wars, crimes, being evil,being bad, being not helpful to others being selfish etc the real islam is a religioun of peace but also gives us the right to fight back those who fight us unlike Christianity which says "if ur enemy slaps u then give his the other cheek" which no christian ever do it or even believe in it. u see i dont want to heart feelings but i know i might but there is no avoiding it the bible is a book from god but the problem with it that it has been changed from the original book that god send us all humans and that is why send us the quran as the final book and was protected from any changes and its the only book on earth that has god words(i mean all the book is from god directly) and it was arabic language the chosen language for this book,and dont ask me why but maybe because of its richness in expressing everything. and islam can leave peacefully with other religious but unfortunately some people like to use islam and abuse it and make it a reason to kill and to achieve their goals and it happened with all religions. final words dont judge religion based on how whose who practice it, judge it after u read and study it!

on topic beating up children from parents should be for good reason and only after the parents tries all methods to listen to them!

I doubt "religion" makes him beat his kids. The same way "violent" video games make people into killers. It's just an excuse to do whatever the heck you feel like doing and justifying it. And more towards my last statement as to why your an atheist as well. People love justification but who are you justifying yourself to?

4 - Sorry, I like to explain in detail my view's on things XD (long read)

.
This is a sad story. That is probably going to scar those poor kids minds for life.

I'm an atheist to Lucreto. One of the main reasons I'm Atheist is because. Why should I pick a religion? When there are so many different ones out there? Who am I to say which one is the TRUE religion? No one can say which is true.

Which is why it is BEST for everyone to just live a good life. And if there truly is some sort of god. Then he will accept you for living a good life.

And if there isn't. You may have to come to terms with the fact that people just.. Die. Like animals. It's hard to believe that you won't have that sense of consciousness anymore and just be gone. It's human nature. Religion was created as an explanation for the unexplainable. "But in reality, The unexplainable can't be explained. Until that unexplainable happens."

So just live a good life everyone and don't worry about what's after death. Whether it be a heaven or hell, Some sort of ascension or reincarnation, or just pure death.

Just wait and see and enjoy life :).

Yes you are right we should enjoy life. I enjoy gaming which others think I am wasting my life.

Those are the same question I ask and the comprehension of death that we just disappear some don't like the idea.

So we should anyways look on the bright side of life.

I guess in a sense your right. But that's really only on the money part.

But the fact that you can afford a video game, and another person can't. Isn't YOUR fault. It's either there fault or some other persons fault that put them in that situation.

One sad reality about the world is. Not everyone can be middle class. Because there just isn't enough homes and money and jobs to go around for the mass population we have. Many people HAVE to be homeless..And have to be poor.

It's sad =/.

"The day we have robots doing all our work jobs for us. Is when poverty will be truly gone. Robots would built wind turbines and other sources of power. And thus there would be enough electricity for them to be self sufficient. We would live in a utopia :).
Ah what I would give to live 200 or 300 years in the future.

6.3 - It's true that only people are to blame...

...as you cannot blame that which does not exist. God is just a manifestation of humanity's need to explain it's surroundings when it wanted explanations and needed comfort but did not have the ability to truly understand all that was required to be known to survive physically and mentally.
It should have simply been a stepping stone to be removed when were better capable of understanding the world we live in. Unfortunately we are now stuck with it. Religion is becoming about as useful to us now as is an appendix to our digestive system. Unfortunately, like an appendix, religion flares up and people die as a result if they are unable to get an appendectomy.
I long for the day when humanity smartens up, and gets a religion-ectomy.

You remind me of that one episode where Cartman freezes himself so he can get a Wii and wakes up hundreds of years later. He finds out all religion is gone but ironicly enough people are killing each other over what to call themselves. This site should be proof enough that people are willing to hate someone just because they surport a diffrent system, and religion is half the cause??? You need to open your eyes and see that these people have hate in themselves, they will release it through religion, race, political standing, gaming preference, the list goes on. You yourself are a good example, you believe the world would be better if everyone thought like you which is natural. That in and of itself is belief, making you a believer of something whether being a ghost or an idea. Even what I'm saying is part of my belief and "think" I'm right, but the best part of being human is choosing.

Oh yeah religous people are supposed to act in a good way, doesn't stop nut-job Muslims from killing people for not believing in Allah though does it. Christians used to hang people for heracy back in the day too. By the way NO YOU DONT HAVE TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, just because you believe in God or whatever doesnt mean everyone else has to. If Kakkoii doesnt want to believe in god then thats his choice. Same goes for everyone else.

The point behind atheism isn't so much that you don't believe in anything. It's that you don't believe or have faith in a god.
Unfortunately too many religious people misunderstand this. They confuse belief or faith in a god with the the ability for someone to expect something to occur in a similar fashion if it has occurred that way in the past.

Actually the dictionary definition of atheism is the unbelief in God or deities: disbelief in the existence of God or deities. Alot of atheist i know dont know what to believe but they just dont have any belief in God. Anyway back to the aticle. I dont think religion has anything to do with what this man has done! There is alot of things like this going on in the world and by alot of people who dont have religion. Just a sad fact that today alot of people are very hypocritical and never practice what they preach! We are all responsible for our own actions and have free will to do what we please so the blame lies with this man and should shift the blame onto anyone or anything else!

10 - I'm an athiest too but...

We have to recognize that the worst atrocities in modern history were carried out by Atheist (communism - 100 million dead) and Quasi-Pagans (nazism - 20 million dead).

"Religion" is too broad of a concept to be classified as good or evil. You have to examine each religion separately as they consist of very different ideas.

True, but his devotion to catholicism was mainly thinly disguised anti-semitism (passion play, etc..). This point is debatable of course.

My point is that the worst regimes in the world were mainly dedicated to suppressing religion.

Don't get me wrong, theocracies are hell holes and along with communist states, must end.

Unfortunately Hitler's devotion to the Catholic Church should not be taken into account so much as the Catholic Church's devotion to Hitler. The Catholic Church supported Hitler in the most disgusting ways. The reasons are obvious. He was taking out the competition and they loved it.
