My views are much like their views.
Try not to convert me to Atheism, I will do the same in return, and not "bleed your brain out the ear" with Catholicism.
That aside, I don't mind any religion, just as long as we respect each other's boundaries (and laws we provide each other). Hell, I've come up with accepting an amalgamation theory; we're all worshipping the same dude for different reasons and have different nicknames for him/her/they/it, simply put, why can't we all just get along?
Yeah, pretty well this. Granted there are jackasses that use the various ideologies to commit their crimes and excuse their actions, but they should not be considered part of that ideology if they violate its basic teachings. And seeing as near every religion preaches peace with your fellow man, everything atheists bitch about should be blamed on people who don't even subscribe to the ideology they whine about.
If I recall the laws of plenty of religions and such, that is an overall goal, and we have people that oversee the operation (like the Pope with Catholicism and Christianity) and so on and so forth. It is part of their responsibility that the religion is still being followed according to the principles that are provided by them. Certain cultures, religions, and especially the media don't want anyone to live certain things down.
Although it looks like nothing is being done about certain things that the media has been perpetuating (like the pedophile priest thing), trust me, everyone's been working for ages to get rid of that stereotype and make all sorts of laws to make sure no loopholes exist within it. It bothers me to no end that according to the media, if you're a preist, then young boys is the only thing on your mind. Then again, dare I revive any kind of war and retort with them trying to use that kind of stereotype to tear down something they choose not to believe in *cough*Media=FullofAthiests*cough*? We try to have our rules protect everyone and not only ourselves, and we invite people to join, not jam a Bible down people's throats. It's all up to the person whether they want to follow a belief or not. Issues only become a problem if it persists and we have to stand our ground for longer than we need to. It's a natural reaction to anything. Get attacked, defend or retaliate.
Like my initial statement, respect our rules, we'll respect yours; just keep it fair, and we'll be okay.
Of course, many who complain about the rules are those who don't like to play by the rules or play fairly.
