What if my religion tells me that your religion, and all others, are wrong?
I think like languages, religions also leave room for interpretation. For example, many people from the Judeo-Christian faiths are in favor of the dealth penalty despite the first commandment stating "Thou Shalt Not Kill." People have their own individual variations of what they believe just like a person's vocabulary can differ from another's, even though they speak the same language.
What if my religion tells me that your religion, and all others, are wrong?
That's when I start worrying that someone is going to fly an airplane full of innocent people into an office building full of innocent people. Or that someone is going to pass laws that tell an entire nation what it must do based on the religious beliefs of a select few.
Believing that your religion is right and all others are wrong too often leads to intolerance and hate. Uh, oh. There are those words again. That belief, no matter the religion, rarely leads to anything good.

... some atheism religions resist any spiritualism ideas
Please provide us all with some information on "atheism religions" if you would, OK?
Because, as far as I understand, hljc, in atheism there are no rules, icons, chants, hymns, places of worship, established religious holidays, costumes and ex-communications, public floggings and burnings, tattoos and self-inflicted flogging wounds, ritual burials and burnt offerings. Wow! Maybe we've been missing out on all the fun!
(Hmm now: wait just a danged minute: "National Atheism Day"? Hmmm.. I do kinda like the sound of it though, don't you, hljc? Say now though: would you like to co-sponsor it with me, since I'm sure you are fully in support of religious tolerance. Yes? No?)
Sorry. I don't understand the question as written.

He is trying to bait you into his absolute mentality game by obfuscating and equivocating on the terms right and wrong in the context of morality. Is it 'correct' not to rape someone? Are there 'correct' actions and 'incorrect' actions. What he fails to use as a principle is - how do we arrive at the problem of say - what is the correct way to play a game? His answer basically is because the inventor says so. Do you see a problem with this? He does not! If there was no inventor then there is no way you can discover why and how to play the game or tell anyone why or how you should play the game even if you have reverse engineered the game or figure out by other means how to play it or why there even is a game.
He will sing this tune for ever - his mind has been condition only to see things in this light all other things are illogical and irrelevant.

lol, Is that what he's attempting to do? That's why his posts often make no sense? Thanks for the heads up, Shiloh.
(I thought it was for another reason entirely. One I'll not mention. )
