I think maybe Rat started that.  An attempt at humor I think!  ;-)

There is already a "Religons & Spirituality" subcategory under "Society & Culture".  Some people, unfortunately, do not post their questions in the right category.

i'm not one of those people you described but i'm wondering why do you go to this site and ask people their opinion if you are not willing to listen to what they want to say? stay away or be respectful of the beliefs of others. go figure! peace, love & unity. cheers!

Maybe a slight god-complex. But, your main boggle is an over developed sense of satire. We atheists do not have a problem with this condition. However, the sheeple are most likely helplessly confused. Keep up the good work. LOL :)\nOh, and thanks for all the points recently. Muchas gracias! ;)

I do look there too, but it seems that most of the discussion is here.  The lack of religious belief obviously does fit in the religion category, but I agree that atheism is more philosophical than religious.  \n\nI also look to question why people have religious beliefs since they seem so absurd to me and that is more of a religious discussion than philosophical one.

There is a catagory for that. It's under "society & culture", then click on "Religion & Spirituality".

Why would atheists be interested in posts about religion?\n\nIm not interested in NASCAR, so I dont go looking at postings in that section. Same thing.

It's way too comercialised. It's been going that way for over 40 years now. I haven't celebrated the religious significance of it in more than 30 years.

As a Hindu I believe that it is very important to ask questions. Asking a question is sometimes more important than seeking the answer, because atleast the question has been asked. Hindus are taught to never just accept anything, but to try it and experience it. Hinduism isn't really a religion of "believe it or else" it's like a lot of other eastern religions that say "try it, experience it, if it doesn't work for you, move on." When it comes to spiritual things, the same goes. Hinduism has the Ten Commitments which aren't meant to condemn you, they are meant to help improve your spiritual practices in life (meditation, etc). The same with dietary rules. They vary from person to person because each person is told to try different foods and then see how the react in meditation. The foods that disrupt meditation or cause your mind and body to not be calm should be avoided, the foods that calm the mind and body and help you meditate should continue being eaten. But each of us is different so the foods we eat will vary. The same goes with our experiences and approaches to God. If you do not ask questions, how can you know if your approach and experience to God is reflected in the spiritual practices you follow?

religion maybe......but not spiritual thinking.

That's an excellent question. I won't be a hypocrite about it, though. I've been guilty of it myself from time to time, but there are some repeat offenders here. It seems that the Politics and the Religion & Spirituality sections draw more of this sort of behavior than any of the others. I guess it's because they are both such personal topics and it's easy to hit a nerve when you discuss them.

Shouldn't this be under another topic? \n\nDo you want spiritual advice or something?

This type of Arguements are Called " Sophism" ! like TV is an invention, Bread is a Neccessity and Neccessity is mother of invention therefore Bread is the Mother of TV !!!\n\nThey are fine as a fun ! When it comes to spirituality they have no role toplay at all, Here "Soophism" it counts !!!

You make good points. My problem with organized religion is that it has WAY too strong a grasp on some people. A lot of times I see questions here that ask, "What do you guys think about (insert any topic related to spirituality)?" -- and all too often, the answers you get are this: "Nope, I don't like it, because it's not in the Bible."\n\nThat's the mindset that people have. If it's not in the Bible, it has no value whatsoever. The truth is limited to that ONE holy book and all other holy books which may have different interpretations are totally worthless. -- I just don't think that's a healthy mindset to have. There's a lot of great stuff out there and people are missing it when they just delve right into one religion and never bother to look anywhere else. A lot of those Eastern religions and belief systems have some really valuable teachings, but nope... if it's not in the Bible, forget it. I just wish some people opened up a bit more.

Shouldn't this be in the Religion/Spirituality section??
