| 481961 | 2006-09-02 08:59:00 | Some very interesting posts - especially zquerty. Good to see that some of you ignored the bait & answered the underlying questions (and those that didn't made the thread entertaining as well as interesting). I'm not a religious person, and I found the trend of religion (or rather the lack of it) in IT quite intriguing. None has really answered my last question yet though - are christians scared away from the IT industry because it is dominated by athiests? Come to think of it - females in IT is a similar situation - are they scared off because IT is a male dominated profession? Well, I certainly have no problem with being in an aethiest-dominated industry. Most of my friends are aethiests anyway. You get over it. It certainly does not scare me off. I find that there are very few NZ atheiests who can not accept Christianity as something which others believe in and are entitled to believe in. They're the only kind of aethiests I could ever have a problem with. |

| 481963 | 2006-09-02 22:14:00 | To prove what? that IT atheists are evil? It doesn't help when you start off by calling someone evil, and expecting them to be nice to you.I'm sorry, you misunderstood what I was saying :) When I said it just went to prove the first post, I was meaning the part in the first post that said there appeared to be a large proportion of athiests in IT. I wasn't calling anybody here evil - I don't know anybody here personally, so could never even come close to making that judgment. Mike. |

| 481964 | 2006-09-03 01:43:00 | Belief has one good thing going for it: it saves thinking. As Bertrand Russell said (roughly) : Most people would sooner die than think. Many have done exactly that. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 481965 | 2006-09-03 02:33:00 | We never talk about religion at work. I don't know who is one and who isn't. I don't care what people are as long as they don't ram it down my throat :xmouth: |

| 481970 | 2006-09-06 21:56:00 | Religion has been the catalyst for started more wars than any other single thing. Religion is evil, the world would be a far better place without it. I agree with other posters, IT people are generally logical thinkers. I hate all religions, but I do have my own god. I just don't claim to have been contacted by him, write a book (bible) and attempt to convince others to follow my personal view of my god. So I guess I am not technically a Atheists or am I. |
