Devil made me do it... Vatican says so

Yes, once they are 18, they can choose to be sheeple.

Funny thing is that a concerned catholic priest asked me if my wife and me would baptise our kids. "I have seen many times that if modern parents leave them the choice, they will not be religious."

I politely told him that my mom also left me the choice and I did the right thing. I am an atheist.

This.

At 18 I actually realised I couldn't be religious, as I could make a lot more sense of the world with the leading scientific theories then I could with vague metaphores and "hindsight-insight" my beliefs offered me. It was f*cking hard to break away by that time though. So yeah.Your mom rocks.

^matches my story, down to the age.
 
1 out of 4 people believe in evolution... kind of sad really.

:ugone2far: What? I can only presume that 75% of the world are thick cunts then.

Religion is ludicrious, amusing and fucking annoying. People should grow up, stop believing in fucking fairies and stop "donating" in the hope they get a ticket to heaven. Seriously. It's just too comical how stupid some people are.

I would love one day to take pastafarianism on to the same level as christianity, for no reason other than to show religion up for what it is and break people away from the bile they get force fed as children.

Isn't evangelizing atheism kind of hypocritical?
 
^ err..whut?

Only thing I preach is the separation of church and state.
You can believe in whatever invisible friend you want, but if you believe in the sky cake, leave laws, education and general policy alone.

Really there are sick people of every faith or lack thereof, it's a bigger scandal because of how the Vatican originally handled it, imo. There have been preachers of protestant groups, Rabbis, etc caught doing the same thing, or similar.

Give a kid all the options and let them make their own religious choices later in life.

Yes but most faiths understand that it isn't a good idea to deny their preachers any form of sexual gratification and THEN leave these sexual perverts (sorry if you have never masturbated or had sex and aren't even allowed to think of sex, then you are a pervert; for it is the nature of humans to have a libido) alone for long hours with little boys.

You don't have to be friggen Einstein to understand that equation is only going to lead to something negative.

Then instead of understanding the fail in the equation, they come up with an imaginary character to justify and help white wash what is being done.
