I really hate how some people my age act towards religion. It's okay if you don't believe in anything - hey, I'm agnostic - but you don't have to act so condescendingly about it. Most of my peers who are also non-believer's think they are so bad-ass and hip because they aren't like the rest of them. "Pshh, those poor faithful morons. Let's go laugh in their faces." It makes me feel ashamed. I don't want these people to be the ones I identify with. If no one is attacking your beliefs, why do you feel the need to attack those of others? No one has provoked, what are you acting so defensive for? Be respectful. Be tolerant. Some can really act like ignorant jerks.
Edit: (The following may not have a direct relation to my original post, but they were birthed out of it.)
No one can prove or disprove the existence of a god. Some people choose to believe, some people choose not to believe. Whichever way you try to convince the other of your point of view, you will end up going around in circles. Don't fight. It doesn't make any sense.
Yes, I do think the world would be better off without religion. At least without organized religion. But I understand the human need to hold on to something. If that something has to be some form of higher power, well, I'm not going to take it away from them.
