This is true....many of the rules do have a basis in reality. I like the morals that religions teach. But many of the rules are either flat out wrong or have no basis in today’s society. I also don't like how many religions promote intolerance of others beliefs by saying that if you don't believe our way then you are going to hell. These breeds hate and I don't like it. I like the basis of a lot of religions I just don't like the execution. Personally I don’t think that religion (the way they are today) is the best way to teach morals…but it’s just my opinion.
It's my first day.

But you're right, its when people are too attached and stubborn to their own version of the truth that the true meaning gets confused.

Priest could face trial for saying Jesus existed
Italian judge hears arguments on whether church deceiving believers
VITERBO, Italy - An Italian judge heard arguments Friday on whether a small-town parish priest should stand trial for asserting that Jesus Christ existed.
The priest’s atheist accuser, Luigi Cascioli, says the Roman Catholic Church has been deceiving people for 2,000 years with a fable that Christ existed, and that the Rev. Enrico Righi violated two Italian laws by reasserting the claim.
i mean what the heck. are we supposed to accuse all religious, non-secular workers of spreading lies?

but anyway I don't like religions so I actually see it as a positive thing. People need to stop taking all this stuff so literally and just realize that the important thing is being a good person...not following arbitrary made up rules.

Evolution on a micro scale is a scientific fact...now if you're talking about on a macro scale, then yes it is a theory.

Yeah, all those happen to me on a regular basis. It sucks ass.
Anyway, the trial is probably a joke. If it isn't, it'll be thrown out soon enough.Considering the nature of Italy and the Catholic Church, it will go no where.

Well seeing how im one of Jehovah's witnesses i wanna bring out something that you made in your post. I knew my religion would come up just because we go door to door to talk to people about our religion. If we pester you at your home simply say no thank you im not interested and leave it at that...i was raised a witness and not once have i ever FORCED anything down anyones throat...If it wasnt for us going door to door how many Jehovah's Witnesses do you thing thered be. Let's just say you was an atheist or was never taught about different religions...let's just say you are too far from one the Kingdom Halls to attend a meeting. Now...how would you know about our religion if no one came to your door. Like stated before we dont force nothing down no ones throats. YOU make the choice on whether you want to listen or not. Nothing pisses me off more then for some miseducated person to start making acustaions about Jehovahs Witness.
