(11,431 posts)In the last 2000 years no one has ever presented reliable valid evidence for any god. When religious people give me real evidence of a god, I will believe it. Until then this world behaves as if there is No god and no religious person has ever presented evidence of a god that is not subjective or merely a trick.
And that is the nicest thing I can say about religion because I really believe it is truely evil. But that's a whole nother story.
The US is filled with blowhards trying to force their superstitious religious beliefs on everyone. The "in god we trust" school signs, the "in god we trust" saying on our money, the "under god" in the pledge of allegiance, the stupid prayer breakfasts and prayers at sporting and political events. The commercials and the preacher's. The GOP and all the churches. They are constantly pushing and shoving trying to get their superstious nonsense passed as laws and inculcated into everyone's every day life. The whole unscientific forced birth superstitious nonsense passed by our Supremely Religious Court is the beginnings of a theocracy.
So there is no both sideism or "live and let live". Because the religious just won't leave it alone. They are constantly in your face pushing and lying.
So, I'll tell you what, when the religious stop pushing their religious mythology onto me, I'll stop pushing the FACT that they have no evidence for any god.
You sound like a nice person, who cares about others and I really don't mean to be harsh but If you want respect for the religious, maybe do not go looking for it in the Athiest forum.
