That's Nate. Casually uninvolved yet cutting to the thick of it.

all i really meant was, peoples beliefs and religions shouldn't be debated no matter how unrealistic they seem to be!!

because peoples beliefs are personal and it isn't a type of thing that should be debated... people believe what they wanna believe and its not fair if some one critisizes there beliefs just because they themselves do not believe in it...

The fact that they are people's beliefs should not grant them amnesty from being openly and critically evaluated. In fact, there are few better reasons to do so. This concept that religion is beyond reproach by virtue of... whatever, is a ridiculous one that is fostered and encouraged in our society by the religious because it is a very effective defence against the onslaught of critical thinking.
We don't criticise them simply because they're not ours, we criticise them based on their own merits.
Let's just hope we have our facts straight first.
