Random Irritations

Really? Do you not possibly see his posting style and from what he’s posted it’s more of a fact than a opinion.
It’s self-righteous and pig headed and I find a statement like that insulting to any parent who has christened a child.

I find him hateful

Vile:
adjective
  1. extremely unpleasant.
    "he has a vile temper"
    synonyms:foul, nasty, unpleasant, bad, disagreeable, horrid, horrible, dreadful, abominable, atrocious, offensive, obnoxious, odious, unsavoury, repulsive, off-putting, repellent, revolting, repugnant, disgusting, distasteful, loathsome, hateful, nauseating, sickening;
    • morally bad; wicked.

I certainly don’t agree with him, but he has the right to hold those views however extreme they are.

How much air time we will allow him on here is a different matter as all he is doing is ostracising himself from the rest of the forum.

He is being asked to explain his views, I don’t think he can and avoid digging himself a big hole.
 
He’s not hateful, just contrary. I don’t think Kell is particularly principled just likes being different. That’s his perogative. Whilst I wouldn’t call it hateful I chose not to christen my kids. They can choose religion if they want but I won’t choose it for them. The selective hypocrisy of religion and the religious is the main reason

It’s only an insult if you choose to be insulted 👍
Vile, hateful, isn’t one an adjective of the other?
 
Ok understand where u are coming from, it’s inflammatory language designed to elicit a response. I thought you didn’t encourage trolls 🤣🤣
I don’t, but if the mods decide they disagree with you when you report it (as we’ve been asked to do) you’re left frustrated and foolishly get involved. ;)

A difference of opinion isn’t trolling, it’s a fine line, but I suspect that if his views are repeated then it could easily cross that line.

I suggest he leaves this thread well alone

His opinion isn’t the issue, it was the use of the word vile.
 
I think he falls into the trap of thinking that to be somebody or to make your mark on the world today you have to project an attitude to get you noticed.

Utter nonsense. I have incredibly strong views about religion and think it should be challenged and not tolerated. If you eradicate religion, the world is instantly a more united place.
 
A slight exaggeration !
Not even close. I could never put it into words accurately.

No one thing causes more wars or terrorism or social manipulation than religion. The single most corrupt single entity is probably the Catholic Church.

And for those who think I’m being extreme. Something is only extreme if you disagree.

I'd have said that extreme poverty is a bigger evil but then you'll say that poverty is the fault of religion

What wars have been caused directly from religion?

Poverty is something the Catholic Church has used to engineer following since its invention.

For something to be evil there needs to be intent, in my opinion. Disease isn’t evil, it’s just a horrible consequence of nature. Religion is evil because it’s been invented by men to control others.

Much poverty exists where the Catholic church has no influence and poverty is not an invention. Disease is evil if poverty is the reason why it can't be treated.

Sorry but even as an atheist, I find this unacceptable. I don't care what religion a person follows, they have a basic human principle to be allowed to go ahead and practice those preachings. In an ideal world that should be free from persecution and violence but we aren't in an ideal world and haven't been for a very long time. What gives you a right to dictate that it shouldn't be tolerated?
