I can't take a religious person seriously.
What about being religious affects your ability to take someone seriously?
I just think that believing in something like that is completely illogical.
It's fine that you want to take a logical view of it but that doesn't mean it's okay to basically discriminate against someone because they are religious. People believe different things and use those things to give them purpose and you should be okay with that. You probably miss out on a lot of good conversation by disregarding what religious people have to say sometimes.
But I think that the Bible is nonsense.
I think you should try to be more respectful to other people's beliefs, and they will return your respect.
