Regarding religious belief as viral suggests a larger pattern expressed in the physical world as a whole, does it not? Do our beliefs reflect that pattern or is our perception of the pattern inate to our humanity?
“I have decided to not believe your comments about doubting the God of creation” for a few reasons 1) your not perfect ! oh you try to seem perfect with your smooth deceptive vocabulary! that is why you are bothered by “Americans who claim the Bible is the word of God.” that part about “impossible, illegal, or embarassing to follow nowadays”.lol. those laws were made to keep people from sin and death, “lets say you have a wife, would she commit adultery if she knew she would be stoned to death? hopefully not! So God wanted to stop that sin to keep her from sin because sin = death remember? 2) you said ” you were bothered by Americans who claim the Bible is the word of God. a handful of the people like you who are quick to throw stone`s at others for believing in something rather then being like you. Oh they would be soooooo much better of to be like you and hating on others.lol. so we would rather have a hope of salvation everlasting with God when we die. we are such awful people.lol. we deserve your punishment oh great imperfect one. why are you so bothered by that because that is what Jesus Christ gives to those who live for him, or would i like to see life you way, bro your filled with hate confess your sin and live the eternal life through faith “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for. hope for eternal life in Jesus Christ , if anyone can answer me this one question, would you rather have a blessed hope when you die or not. if not then fine have it your way , just keep it to yourself , i dont run around starting topics to bash you for not having a blessed hope when you die. i pray this right now that for you that Hell will not be a truth found out to late! Jesus was completely against religion, just confess with you mouth your sins and believe Jesus Christ died for you , he is faithful to forgive your sin and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. that is the will of the father not religion!
I have never so thoroughly enjoyed and had my mood brightened by something that I then logged a “downvote” upon. Am I being irrational in this vote? The proper criteria for making these votes seems largely implied but never actually explained.
The guideline is generally: vote up what you want to see more of, vote down what you want to see less of.
Not the same as agreeing or disagreeing. I’d vote up something that was well-argued and forced me to think hard about why I thought it completely wrong before posting a refutation of it.

It is definitely considered proper to log in to downvote comments that do not have acceptable paragraph formatting.

The grandparent is made of fail on all counts.
One comment like this is briefly entertaining. Ten would be frustrating. Downvoting helps disincentivize the next nine.
I’ve just remembered why I like LessWrong. Thanks.
