That's what the majority of denominations of Christianity in America have differences about. I even know some Catholics who are pro homosexuality. Most if not all inter-denominational debates within Christianity that involve different interpretations of scripture are about periphery issues, not core tenets. icirate said: People shouldn't be encouraged to force their beliefs on others. Such a view is so obsessed with individualism that it forsakes the society entirely; And you can't teach someone history without indoctrinating them to some set or other of moral values. A disgusting view on sexual purity? Telling people to abstain from rampant promiscuity and sodomy and stopping the spreading of sexually transmitted diseases is 'disgusting'? lol Yes it is disgusting. You've proven you're against promiscuity and you're mixed up on the causes of promiscuity in homosexuality. This is a disgusting "moral" teaching. I'm not promiscuous so there's no reason if I were gay to remain miserable. And that's what Christianity encourages. If you're a homosexual that's ok it's the sin not the sinner. So as long as you don't fall in love and essentially die in a hole underground miserable everything will be ok. Vile. |

How can you pull that shit out of your ass and expect me to take you seriously? I have read the Karazamov Brothers and watched The Passion of Joan of Arc (albeit at a younger age), but of course historical perspectives of a theme that is also a present day issue can only get you so far. The saltiness behind your response is pretty revealing though. I don't bother with such stuff either, like Religulous that panders to idiots, but I find the idea of such productions that only serve to pat people on the back for their pre-existing position to be pretty amusing, especially when they make those with opposing views so abrasive. The only thing I would note for dem movies is that despite the poor values, resources and talent, they show at least some concern for the viewer. Why did you act like you hadn't? If you've read The Karamazov Brothers you know that faith is at the forefront, and it does give a few arguments for both sides that aren't just "Atheists are evil" and "God is GEEEEWD" like American mainstream Christian movies. Of course I'd have a reaction like that after a braindead comment like your last one. |
Kokko said: Not really, it depend on their believes too. there is some probability if we are aliens too. all of them are teoris and it's also more logical than atheism. none of them are profen by sience.That makes no sense. How do you suppose aliens came to life? They had to come from no life. Prebiotic experiments are a thing. Amino acids can easily emerge under the right conditions (aka the ones the Earth had when it was young). and NO, what make organism life is not amino acids, but RNA. and that's impossible because RNA, and RNA only have 3 amino acid (not all amino acid can build RNA, this is wrong conception of atheism beievers, other amino acid are buid from this 3 code that made by this amino) ) and 2 kind of glukosa. both of them are impossible to meet and react except in organism cell. |

It doesn't approach the issue in as direct a manner (from what I remember anyway), and neither does it reduce it to such banal statements as ""Atheists are evil" and "God is GEEEEWD", which those movies don't even do (the question of why you even watch them in the first place would also arise seeing as you already clearly disagree). That's indicative of some projection there, and the abrasive reply just shows how easy the topic rustles your jimmies, which defeats the purpose of your attempt to counter the point. |

| I don't care about religion if we're specifically talking about that and like I'd give a shit if a fictional show and its content differs from my beliefs regarding anything.

"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I'm amazingly hard to offend in the first place. Therefore, this is unlikely to happen anyway. Some friends of mine took offence when Angel Beats' script seemed to discard God as a possibility, and how Naoi wandered about claiming that he was God. They said it was disrespectful etc. I'm quite lenient with themes in anime and therefore I always try to give a series a chance no matter what controversy it throws at me. |
 |
| Even if it agreed with my beliefs, but the way it presented them is ignorant I'd rate it very low. I don't mind different opinions. I just want them reasonably presented, not as strawmen. |

| I don't think an anime can criticize my religious beliefs (because this is what the thread is asking), because I don't have any. |
 |
| This topic is really calling for a flame war... but it's interesting nonetheless. Going back to the question at hand, being an atheist even if it does offend, I don't really care, I won't watch it if it's just a "bad" anime that has nothing to offer intellectually or in terms of entertainment. While in anime it's hard to actually find anime that discuss certain subjects SERIOUSLY without being too lighthearted or without it being just a one episode plot device, there are some that do actually tackle important issues and decide to actually take the effort to explore scenarios and concepts, which is always welcome. There is also to consider that in anime even when they have the chance to discuss certain topics, they still manage to butcher the potential. Case in point: Infinite Stratos, Highschool DxD, Magical Index etc. In all honesty if I had to exclude anime based on what message they're trying to convey or what kind of protagonists are used to start a story, I would have to completely say "NO" to 80% of the anime I have seen, and probably more as a whole, since most of the times the stories and characters are memorable moralistic clichés. In response to some others talking about religion here (even though the question wasn't necessarily pertaining religious views but "beliefs" which can be pretty much any philosophy, thought or concept that one person might have) atheism still resides in the field of "belief" even though it's not a religion, but that's only because it just constitutes of a very simple statement "I don't believe in god/s", which is still an assertion based on belief. |
| I wouldn't have put Fullmetal Alchemist in my favorites if I couldn't past Edward's agnostic schviel in the 1st episode. |
 |
| I drop shows that insult my intelligence, not beliefs. That still doesn't make Sound! Euphonium episode 10 any less insulting though. |
 |
| "My beliefs" can't be insulted because they are neither tangible nor conscious. I'll drop an anime if I think the writing or direction is bad. "Bad" can mean a many number of things, and yes, celebrating something I morally oppose qualifies as "bad". |
 |
| No |
 |
| Never, since I didn't had any 'beliefs' to begin with. |
