Religious people (and religious high school students) are sometimes really big assholes. Who has the most assholes?

Islam. Their assholes fly aircraft into buildings.
Christian assholes are more numerous but considerably less violent.

It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

Ah, but which ones are more influential. The mass #s of fundies will impact US laws and regulations. Meaning more religion in govt. Violence is one thing but their influence is more damaging.

Eleitist Sartre/Neizche spewing types.
the question says which group has the HIGHEST DENSITY or more per capita. That would have to be the Poser Existentialists. You run into a Jerk in college, chances are he's just readWill to Power, or Atlas Shrugged, and thinks he knows everything. Plus the Alone agaisnt the cruel universe speaks perfectly to the Nillist late teen outsider mentality.

It depends on where you live. Religious asshole density tends to be proportional to religious influence: the more influential the religion, the higher the density of religious assholes.
Religious assholes are much more common in the American Deep South because of the prevalence of Christian fundamentalism. Religious assholes were omnipresent in Europe during the Dark Ages because Christian theocracies ruled much of Europe. Today, in regions of weak or liberalized Christian influence (thank the separation of church and state), Christians tend to be kinder and gentler.
Similarly, Muslim assholes are much more common in places like Saudi Arabia, because of the influence and power of Islamo-fascism.
So, basically, the religious group with the highest proportion of assholes will generally be the group which has the most influence in your local region.

Baptists, I live in the Deep South, Louisiana, you can't get deeper than thar(literally I live 35 miles from the coast) it's mostly Catholic in my Religion cause the Brits deported us from Canada 300 years ago. But still, not many Baptists here they're quite vocal us Catholics don't go around saying "Fear, my God you evil Non-Christian, or Catholic, etc. etc." Especially, the high school kids talking all kind bullshit on the way to Senior High, I don't try to make a rebuttal through their dense skulls. I know they're good Baptists out there just not enough of them.

Why does it have to be a religious group? Assholes come from all walks of life.

Where from the great bayou state are you from? Oh, and if you think South Louisiana has a high anti-Catholic population, you should see what North Louisiana is like.Captain Lennox wrote:Baptists, I live in the Deep South, Louisiana, you can't get deeper than thar(literally I live 35 miles from the coast) it's mostly Catholic in my Religion cause the Brits deported us from Canada 300 years ago.

I'm originally from the midwest. Every smalltown has AT LEAST a 25% population of christian assholes. And the even smaller towns are closer to 90%. And ALL of their brainwashed kids went to my HIGH SCHOOL.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might if they screamed all the time for no good reason.
Who later hung the Atheists.....I find atheists to be the most annoying. Usually, they are the most condescending of the lot, and the most prone to ridicule others. They even beat out some Southern Baptists that I've known.
Tell me did they beat up the Baptists because they where Baptists?
Then agian I've never met any Athiests who strung people up from trees, blew up buildings, and burned down churchs of other belifes
First of all I find it hard to believe any Atheist or even Angatoict person would beat up another because they had a Religion and who did you talk to the Baptists or the Atheists?
Sonds like pure BS to me

A lot of comrades here mtnioned how so many religions tend to be assholish (and I'm not even talking Islam here.) How very much interesting, yes ?Captain Lennox wrote:Baptists, I live in the Deep South, Louisiana, you can't get deeper than thar(literally I live 35 miles from the coast) it's mostly Catholic in my Religion cause the Brits deported us from Canada 300 years ago.

I know they're good Baptists out there just not enough of them.
However, religions are opening up this day, and even the strict Catholic CHurch is becoming more open. I know this as, I myself am a Catholic (when I'm Atreides), but, i am at liberty to hold my own views ( I remain a Catholic for only 2 reasons, and I wn't mention them here.) Even Islam, is not ass-hollish at all: only those damned orthodox ones, like Wahhabbism, and those that the assasins follow, are really ass-holles.
Notably, I also don't like pagans, because, coming to think of it, they hardly differ from Creationists. there stuff about an Earth Goddess, Nature, this and that, are conrtradictions to variable degrees. If I were a real Wiccan, I'd live totally naked in a forest, and not do all those stupiud rituals. I'd also be totally divorced from modern life, i.e. computers, et cetera.
No, none of the religions above are assholish. Even the great Jedi religion has its truths. The only real ass-holes are those that are orthodox, and resist some important changes.
But all of the above is just my opinion, comrades.
you mean like those religious extremist that crashed airplanes into buildings aren't both fairly common in fundamistist areas.I find atheists to be the most annoying. Usually, they are the most condescending of the lot, and the most prone to ridicule others. They even beat out some Southern Baptists that I've known.
and christian Fundies who seem to despise everyone else.
