PurityGirls

[swiggidy]

I really don't like shitting on people's beliefs, but this is pure gold
http://www.puritygirls.com/

Why can't I be a member if I'm currently married/dating/believe in dating?
This site is a singles ministry for singles committed to not-dating and just waiting on God to bring along the right One.

It's not about, "how far can I go and still technically be a virgin?" but "how close can I get to God's standard of absolute purity?"

It doesn't matter what's cool or what's not, only the fact that you are bringing glory to the One and Only God that is awesome and ya'll should respect him no matter what anyone else says. And another thing, ya'll do not need makeup, ... He likes you for Jesus Christ in your heart not a mask you can put on and take off. ... But I wanted to thank ya'll for being such strong Christians in this dark age.

I know a substantial number of stupid people who are not religious, so this can't be right.

Oh my fuck. To each their own I guess, but these guys are wasting my ozygen.

I reread this and I realize it's pretty ignorant.

It's organized religion that I'm against. And it's not the religion, but the organization. Because the organization strips people of their independent thinking. And leaves them vulnerable to accept bullshit without running it through their bullshit meter... of which this PurityGirls is an example of said bullshit. It causes people to stop thinking about what's right and what's wrong and the reasons why... a crutch of sorts. Instead of having to think and struggle with issues like the morality of abortion, pre-marital sex, etc. they can simply say "God says X, therefore X is right. Anybody who believes Y is therefore wrong. The role of Politicians is to make laws to force people to do X."

So yeah, I'm wrong. Sorry

[LeFou]

I agree there are lots of people like that, and that organized religion *can exacerbate their weaknesses.

But e.g. "God says X, therefore X is right. Anybody who believes Y is therefore wrong. ... "

I'm sorry but this form of dismissal is Pretty Much Identical, in tone, to your first post in this thread.

My point is just that non-critical thinking is a problem that plagues all religions, and agnosticism/atheism as well. I'm not really decided about where and when it's *worse, though...

I don't get your point yet.

I said that: Instead of having to think and struggle with issues like the morality of abortion, pre-marital sex, etc. they (they being the fraction of religious people I'm referring to) can simply say "God says X, therefore X is right. Anybody who believes Y is therefore wrong. The role of Politicians is to make laws to force people to do X."

I didn't say God told his followers to adopt the attitude that because he said X, X is right. It's his followers who have implied this attitude into God because they would rather just assume whatever God says is right. That in itself, isn't so bad, because a lot of what God says, if it's taken in the correct context, with the language interpreted sensibly and critically (e.g. you can't read the King James Bible as modern American English), is actually right. It's people taking their "Gods" too literally, and a lot of them do, because it's easier. And when this attitude is extended such that "anything God, or a representative of God like a priest or pope says is right and to question it is wrong" it becomes especially dangerous.

ya, that is extremely dangerous. ppl start to forget that the person they are listening to is a fallible human being just like the rest of us.

I don't get your point yet.

My point is just that, as you acknowledge, your statemenets apply to "a fraction" of religious people. I, for example, could be considered "religious" but do not think politicians have any business legislating private morality. I also hesitate to say "God said X" about any topic whatsoever because I recognize the difficulties inherent in the concept of divine inspiration and historicity. I also think that the vast majority of dogmatic sects are misguided attempts to exclude others.

So when you make blanket statements like "religion is the root of all stupidity" I take exception. You have not said "all religious people are stupid" but you have said (by implication) that all stupid people are religious, and that no non-religious people are stupid. I think that's quite wrong.

We weren't supposed to be discussing the finner points of whether religious people are smart/stupid, good/bad for society, etc.

You were supposed to read the letters and laugh at them.

[givememyleg]

You didn't outline the rules clear enough swiggidy and you know we're a rowdy bunch.

[LeFou]

yeah, this was a straight up hijack

Are you saying you don't date?

[biondino]

Never trust an organisation that can't spell "y'all".

(p.s. this is dumb but us red-blooded non-fundies can just go for the easy chicks, like we always have done, right? I mean who in their right mind would want to date one of these women anyway?)

[boost]

wait... this isnt a joke site replicating the organization of a similar name from orwells 1984?
