Religion

I dont have an issue with people believing. I have a problem.when what is in their made up books are expected to be adhered to by everyone else. Anyone can sit and talk about the great flood that didnt happen or the universe being created in 6 days and all the other fucking garbage in all of them. Fine, crack on. But, keep it to yourselves Please.
Reminds me of Hitchens when he said that he was more than happy for believers to have their toys and to play with them at home and hug them and share them with others who could come round to play with the toys.

"That's absolutely fine .. but they are not to make me play with these toys. I will not play with the toys"

 
Qur'an 14:82 - Moses said: "Were you to disbelieve, you and all those who live on earth, indeed, God is free of need and praiseworthy"

So if moses said that and god is free of the need of praise and worship why do two of the abrahamic religions insit they need to convert people to their faith.

In esscence both christianity and Islam go against gods wishes to force religious worship upon people, you can tell people about the god which both faiths follow, but no person, family, or country should be made to follow this celestials rule or wants.

Spread th word and those that choose to worship it are subject to his smiting, those not interested should be free to do what they do in their own ways without any religious pressure upon them or judgement.

Is that the Christopher Hitchens who couldn’t stop telling people that he was anti religion. He must have hated people inflicting their views on him

Yes the very man and was considered to be a great orator and perhaps the most prominent opposer of religious doctrine in the 21st century.

Yes yes, I know who he was. Just hoping he didn't force people to listen to his views, would have been quite ironic what with all these religious types turning up at his door trying to make him believe in God.

There's perhaps a subtle but significant distinction to be drawn. I don't remember Hitch warning people they'd burn in everlasting hell in the event they didn't subscribe to his views.
