Of believers and non-believers

My house tutor told me about Sai Baba today. She wasn't really an extreme believer of religion i guess, and she talked to me about how ridiculous certain people can be when it comes to the issue of faith. Coincidentally, I chanced upon a video on youtube and it was about Carrie Underwood singing a song worshipping Jesus. Here comes the funny part. I was browsing through the comments while I waited for the video to load (which, apparently, took AGES), and the atheists and free-thinkers were arguing with the Christians about faiths and religions!


Here's a glance of what they have to say:

clamb1915 to MrFrank440: Your comment reeks of religious arrogance. Essentially you're saying that religious people are happier, less ugly, and miserable. lol. How about this: The divorce rate of Christians in America is 27%. The divorce rate of atheists is about 20%. Roughly 85% of the prison population in America is christian. Less than 5% if agnostic and only .02% is atheist. For a group of happy people, you guys commit a lot of crime and have more broken families. Does that sound happy to you?

toriandannachannel replies to clamb1915: It is not the belief of God that breaks up families and puts people in jail. That is within their own mind, and families that have been broken sometimes it's for the good, and sometimes they get back together, sometimes it just wasn't meant to be. People in Jail have chosen there own path within that, that have NOTHING to do with being a Christian, and many people who get out of Jail start going to church more and become better Christians.


1. clamb1915 to yarber63: Faith is a dangerous thing. Richard Dawkins stated that "One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all." Faith, is not a reason to believe in something. As a child I had faith that santa clause was real. I'm sure you did as well. Did that make it so? As to your point about hate, yes I hate religion. It has caused more problems then I can begin to count and it's the last thing holding us back.
