My argument is that humanity is a threat to the future of humanity.

Religion is just another conduit that some people can use for both good and bad. We all make the mistake of grouping things into classes, while failing to see that these are names only. The power for change comes from the people that wield these constructs for their own agendas.

I am going to try to change myself, so that I can see the people themselves and not the organization that they hide behind to conceal their faces. I have my own opinions for what is right and wrong, but instead of condemning those who have different opinions I am going to try to be an example through both my words and my actions. If I'm wrong about something, I want to be shown my error, not live in ignorance.

Also, on another note, if everyone was the same can you imaging how excruciatingly boring life would be? I'm shocked a species as hate filled and ridiculous as us has survived this long.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, just felt the need to blow off some steam and give my 2 cents, for whatever pittance it is worth.

I can save you some time, here. It's both pointless and doesn't really work to effect change, so why bother? It's up to you whether you choose to believe that or not, and what to do about it either way.

Nothing is pointless if its what you, personally, feel you should do. Also, it definitely can affect change. Maybe not globally, depending who you are, but there will be people in your life who would be influenced by your words and actions. Your children, for instance. Everything starts out small in the beginning.

That depends if you think nihilism has any merit or not:)
Anyone near NYC?

Haha. I've heard that's pretty exhausting. :) That's right. Big Lebowski reference.

Who actually cares if humanity extincts? If people would do, they would not have abused the nature for hundreds of years and not have invented the nuke.

After we're extinct? No one, probably, unless Douglas Adams was right and the dolphins really are smarter than we are. I imagine quite a few people would lament their painful and lingering deaths as we went through our extinction event, however.

I'd award bonus points for it, but it would be both exhausting and not matter in the end:)

Badum dum!

Glint: Three branches off the same tree:

Christianity - a vulgar stew of talmudic nonsense, magical cannibalism, cargo cults, sadomasochism and the teachings according to the Asshole Paul. More a kind of AIDS than a religion. Judaism for people with severe retardation(s): lower all demands and requirements, everyone must join. Total paralysis, abolishes everything it gains control over until it finally abolishes itself and resurrects itself as utopian socialism, mental depressions and psychotic masochistic neo-humanism.
Solution: Zyklon-B and retraining camps.

Islam - a hundred times more appealing than christianity, but that's really not saying anything. A disgustingly primitive desert cult for people with genes scraped off the bottom of the barrel, suppressed homosexuality, untreated ADD and bad imagination. Decimates every high culture and civilization like caustic soda on soft, moist membranes. A joke of a religion and a demographic nightmare.
Solution: Atomic glassification.

Judaism - the carbon copy of the above mentioned, viz. how to waste as much potential as possible on irrelevant talmudic bullshit. A seemingly ineradicable theological virus - a charming potpourri of nazism, banking, holocaust-theology and endless, perpetual bitching. Holiness: a wall you can whine at.
Solution: Ælia Capitolinia.
And your "beliefs" (however atheistic) would be what ?
(I am merely trying to assertain from "what part of the universe" something like this gets concocted)

And since many (probably including yourself) would find the subject that this thread deals with (headline) "hatemongering" then I must say that I have seen few examples of hatemongering such as yours (except comming from more or less declared Satanists that has also been in a state of insanity).
"Solution: Zyklon-B and retraining camps" you say ? - sounds awfully familiar when substituting the "official" word "labor-" or "retraining camp" with the (in history) later used word "concentration camp".

C'mon man, I usually appreciate humor at the expense of major religions but don't you think the homicidal references are too much? I think there's a point where the line should be drawn.

I think that you are right that that were the major "breaking point"......
