So a film about Jesus Christ is fine but a film about Darwin isn't?

What the hell?

I've made my mind up, there's going to be trouble.
You should have seen me reading Marx.

No I agree, censorship in the States is pretty bad. You don't see atheists boycotting and picketing any movie about Jesus, so why should religious folk boycott a movie about Darwin?

^^ I know right, Atheists didnt say anything about The Passion of the Christ or anything, but once Bill Maher released Religulous, jesus christ every Christian and their grandmother was boycotting the movie and demanding HBO fire him from doing his Real Talk show.

For a country claiming to be the ultimate democracy with freedom of speech and separate church and state, you folks really carry out your business ass-backwardsly.

^^ exactly, for a country claimed to be a democracy, it seems more like a Fundamentalism, we might as well make God president.

Atheists think they know everything about shit they know nothing about, are ignorant assholes and are ruining America.
Nice little proclamation there, but you could place any noun in there and make it work.

Care to expand on that argument?

Yes, that was actually the point of my argument.

It's hostility and intolerance that is the real issue. I've been a pure atheist since a very young age, and I must say that I have encountered more ignorance and intolerance on the side of the non-religious versus the religious. Naturally, making a generalization such as "Atheists are more intolerant" is absolutely ridiculous, i'm just speaking from personal experience.

I agree with a separate poster about the new generation being LESS religious than the previous, which of course could attribute to my idea that atheists are more intolerant and ignorant (as youth often are).

It's my opinion that nobody is right, and as knowledgeable as we have become we cannot even begin to comprehend the creation of the universe and the FUNCTION of it all. Be it a scientific explanation or a religious one, i'm sure we are far off the marker on either end.

It's a problem we will never conclude.

I am lol

It seems like if one party is hostile the other party is going to be hostile back. One party thinks the other is full of morons because they know the party they're in is right; otherwise they wouldn't be in it.

Actually I attend a private school, and we've brushed on Darwin every year in different science classes. The priest who's basically in charge of the school doesn't seem to mind much.

I can preach tolerance all day long, it'll never make a difference.

It's against human nature. Not only is it against human nature, but it is against nature itself.

Ironic that tolerance and evolution are fundamental opposites, no?

Judging by the fact that the link sends me to a UK website makes me seriously doubt the authenticity of the article. Seriously guys, lay off... pick another country to obsess over.
