Reply #5: Its hard to have a "thoughtful" and genuine discussion

[Ninjaneer]

on the topic of religion when people keep redefining religion and god every time they get debated into a corner. You are doing it right now with "as if thats what religion was all about".

Those who think that tornadoes are god's punishment are very much right within the context of religious texts. I take it you are familiar with the old testament or even the quran. Wiping people out and taking revenge is god's signature move. But of course, thats not "your" Christianity, or "your" Islam. You, in all your glory and wiseness, practice a different kind of Christianity (or whatever religion you are) and of course, yours is the right one.

Why not thoughtful discussions? because religion and thought are antithetical to each other.
