Post by Seth » Wed Jan 04, 2012 11:40 pm

A religion that just recently become officially recognized in Sweden holds CTRL+C and CTLR+V as sacred symbols.

I would join but I hate religion too much. Even beneficial ones. Which is why I'm not a Mormon either.

Although the formal status of the Church doesn’t mean that copyright infringement is now permitted, the Church’s founder hopes that their beliefs will be considered in future lawmaking.


How typical. The religion was born out of a desire to steal from other people. Same as always...

Atheists aren't a religion.

Atheists qualify under many definitions though. You have to have the big red capital letter or it's just a bunch of non-believers posting bollocks. :prof:
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Well, that could be one convention, but not all religious Atheists belong to the Atheist sect. I imagine there are all sorts of sects of religious atheism.
