    Thumbs up what strengths beliefs or lack there of have..

    would you say this is a wrong generalization:
    1. religion - power of the masses
    2. agnostic - confused (i just want to keep living)
    3. atheist - power of the individual
    what is your opinion?


    and please give any suggestions


    and please lets try to keep the crap at a minimum
    if you want to argue be civil or take it into pm-ing eachother

    Religion = opium of the masses

    Use of religion = useful to rulers

    I think religion is believing in somthing because you cant believe in yourself.
    When someone is Atheist, its not that they dont believe in god really its that they are not religious.
    But its not really power

    what is your opinion?
    Sagat summarized religion pretty well.

    Your definition of agnostic is wrong. There's weak and strong agnosticism, weak agnosticism is "confused", whilst strong agnosticism is a statement. Science, for an example, is inherently ignostic, due to the unfalsifiability of god. That does not mean science is confused.

    Atheism as the power of the individual is true to an extent, though it is not to be taken as that atheists can't cooperate or function as a group.

    Religion is in itself propaganda, and it is used heavily in that sense today.
    Sure, I live in the 80's. But the majority of 80's guitar players are more talented than most today, who do you think inspired who you listen to to play guitar in the first place knucklehead?Respect your elders!

    Two prime examples of explanation, makes a whole lot of sense and I think you can see the workings of political propaganda at the very moment in the war and so on.

    "All propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt its spiritual level to the perception of the least intelligent of those towards whom it intends to direct itself. The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one."
    —Adolf Hitler, President of the Reichstag and Reich Chancellor, Nazi Party

    "Naturally, the common people don't want war. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism."
    —Hermann Goering, President of the Reichstag, Nazi Party, and Luftwaffe Commander in Chief

    yes i liked Sagats summariztion

    i apparently need to research agnosticism more because i have never heard of an ignostic( i see that statement was presumptious of me)
    science itself is not confused but the lead people of it are

    true about atheists but part of what i meant was that atheism is more of a personal choice
    best done through much thought and consideration

    and in general religion is forced onto people seeing as most people arent told at a young age that they can suddenly worship whatever they wish to
