What is a democracy?
Majority rules, but respect the minority. Is this present in religious fanatics? Respecting the minority? Not!
Freedom of Political Expression
Many people want choice in their lives. One example is the freedom to use contraceptives such as condoms and birth control pills. Is this allowed by religious fanatics? They even condemn people who use such methods. Where is the freedom there then?
Freedom of Speech
The moment you question the "faith" and doctrine of such religion, you are immediately labeled a heretic, and banned from the organization. Not to mention that they will constantly condemn and look down upon you as if they are the "better" persons and the ones "who deserves salvation".. what a joke that is to freedom of speech.
The Essence of Democracy
is to be able to hear another's opinion without bias or prejudice. To listen to what the other person has to say without attacking the other person's personality. Is this existing in religious fanatics?
There are many other aspects of democracy not in religion (or religious fanatics/extremists). We can continue listing them down here for further discussions.![]()
brad.. I've been to Hell and back!
Hell and heaven, what's the difference? If you continue doing things because you are afraid of Hell or want to go to Heaven, how different are you from a student who is just after High Grades and will do anything to pass high school and not fail? Because of the fear of failing, he can cheat or study.. in fact, its very unlikely that the student can study properly even, because of constant fear always in his head. No difference. Fear is the motive.. a very bad motive..
You do good things NOT because you are afraid of hell, or want to go to heaven... you do good things because you are a good person.
Mr. Hell.. I'm afraid of you!![]()
All things happen for a reason. People do not want to respect each ones' freedom of speech because you are not speech friendly people on the otherhand...
"Respecting the minority" did you show your respect? funny.
"Is this allowed by religious fanatics" ask this to the responsible... i think nobody cares in istorya...
why do you want to dictate our lives?
there are far more religious fanatics that atheists. that explains why religious fanatics are more likely to control and convince other people of their beliefs than atheists.
