Landscape wallpapers are included in many operating systems.
And they contain no political or religious statement. They are part of the theme.
It`s about the look.

Blades of grass don't offend people, but religion does. I'm sorry, but to me and anyone else who doesn't care for religion, it's like seeing advertising or spam. You are trying to push a message that not everyone wants to hear. If you want to push that message there are sites dedicated to such things.

So what the two of you are saying is that nudity on this site(which offends) is alright but inspirational material is not?

Again, if you are truly offended, email the admins and have this content removed, otherwise don't click on the link.

Crying to the admins because something offends you is a spineless thing to do, and to me almost seems like an attack of free expression, which is something I support. I would much rather state my opinion about this piece in a public forum, as I would encourage you or anyone else who may disagree with me to do. I am stating my opinion, so that the poster of this content sees that it is not the appropriate place for it. I think others will continue to do the same. I would never want to force someone not to post such things, but I see nothing wrong with telling them that I don't like it, so they make the right choice themselves in the future.

Yeah, nudity is indeed alright because there is no message.
I don`t want anybody to "spread there word" out here, no muslims, christians, buddhists or atheists.

What would you think about images which contain messages like "satan rules", "allah is great", "Ganesha owns em all" or "there is no god, atheism is the only way"?

"I think this has to do with respect for each other.

I feel offended by nude stuff, yet you don't seem to care. Tell me again, WHO is trying to push WHAT message? Trying to block a message is pushing a message as well.

This is a wallpaper many, including myself, enjoy. Neutrality is not taking sides; removing all sides, even if it were possible, is taking a side.

"What would you think about images which contain messages like "satan rules", "allah is great", "Ganesha owns em all" or "there is no god, atheism is the only way"?"

I would think that they have just as much a place here as this wallpaper.

I don't think this should be removed, but I do feel the need to say I don't like it, and to point it out for what it is. For the most part this stuff just disappears into obscurity anyway. It's kind of telling that there are only 20 or so downloads and over 30 comments. I totally support freedom of speech, and if I posted something with a slogan like "Religion Kills", I would expect it to start discussion, and to have a lot of dissenting opinions to deal with. Now, since I don't like to push controversial opinions on a partially unwilling audience, I restrain myself from posting things like that. I'm now using my freedom of speech to politely request that you do the same. If you don't want to take my advice, fine, you can do whatever you want. May I suggest that you at least post this on a christian website as well? You'll get tons of adulation for making it, which I think would be good for your self esteem, mood, etc. I'm sure you'll see that it's a far more rewarding experience to have a totally appreciative audience.

If all you want to do is voice your opinion, I have heard it. But it doesn't change the fact that I will be posting more wallpapers here like this.

I'm pretty offended too for any religious stuff. I don't like to see anxious people
trying to conquer new clients for its own cult.

Your god, which doesn't deserve a better place than any other god, is not GPL. He demands your ethernal commitment to the cause of fundamentalism and your soul as proof of loyalty: Just like Microsoft stuff.

That's ridiculous. No body is trying to blow away the 'faith' of this guy/girl.

Be rational: It is just the fact that his/her matterial is offensive for many people. But his/her religious behavior doesn't give him(?) the chance to understand that.

Pray! (Alone when no body but your Lord is seeing you) that's in the Bible !!

I agree with kimmik, but looks like fundamentalism is taking place here.

I am an Atheist, not for belief but knowledge. Thus I don't offend this people posting Atheist stuff here. There are better forums to discuss such matters.

Though, This people doesn't respect freedom of speech, because if freedom is this kind of vomit against others then I'll start proposing my Atheist stuff, pushing out 'believers' and punching the face of every Christian and his cumbersome values.

What vomit against others? Seems the bashers are doing the vomiting.

"then I'll start proposing my Atheist stuff,"

Feel free. It's a free country.

"pushing out 'believers'"

You can't push us out unless we leave of our own will, so feel free.

"and punching the face of every Christian and his cumbersome values."

That is a violation of the other persons freedom, and is offensive.

No, it is merely due to truncation; if you look at your post, you will see that yours did the same thing.

Why can't you just post this on a site that's appropriate for it? Why must religious people always push their propaganda into every square inch of the world? Don't you understand that half the people don't want to have to see this stuff? If there are sites that the other half who DO want see this go to, why can't you post it there and leave secular sites alone? How would you like it if I went into your church and started preaching Islam or Buddhism? It's not a matter of filling a demand and you know it. It's a matter of spreading your belief, something which your imaginary friend commands you to do. Once you understand the pretenses, it becomes obvious that this is an unwanted attempt to sell an idea. If you really just wanted to "fill a need" you would post this on a site where people are garaunteed to like what you are posting. I'm sure if you do a google search for "Christian Wallpaper" you can find thousands of sites that are appropriate for this.

This article is about the condition of not being specifically religious. For other usages, see the Secularity (disambiguation) page.

Secularity (adjective form secular) is the state of being separate from organized religion. For instance, walking and bathing may be regarded as examples of secular activities, because there is nothing inherently religious about them.

For anyone reading that definition, how it applies here is that everything is inherrently secular unless it is specifically made religious. Now do you understand why this site, like almost all other sites is secular? There are religious sites where you can go to post this material! Posting something with a message that implies that people should believe as you do is antagonistic, so don't act like we're attacking you when in reality we are defending the neutrality of this site.

No, no, no, you are worng here. Looks like your 'Him' stuff is failing due to a mental virus. If you can tell me exactly how and when I can meet this 'God server 0.1' I'll take it down for sure !!

I don't like chats through the air. That's why Wi-FI was invented in that place.

I feel the same for 'ugly/bad/non-artistic nudity'. The nude human body is not an object of despise as you see it. It is beautiful if not used as an object of exploitation.

However, I am an Atheist and your argument is pointless.

This boy/girl is a beautiful example of religious hypocrisy. Do you see his/her hummility?

Religious people, in general, is intolerant and absurd. Don't start a wave of intolerance to this people, they don't deserve our care: just give them the bad percentages that they deserve and don't pay attention at this.

'This' is becoming matterial for their overbloated paranoia. And they'll start making more boring stuff not being satisfied until they take down the gnome-look server...

"Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you."

Good advice I shall be taking in regard to this thread.

You compare us to swine for not agreeing with you and still try to claim some sort moral high ground? Whatever happened to "Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself"? Frankly your attitude is an embarrassment to your own religion, and if anything I think it acts to disuade people from believing as you do. I know I would never take someone seriously who says thing like that. Now that personal insults are flying, I'm going to bow out of this conversation before it gets out of control.

I agree. However, it is interesting to note the hypocrisy in his speech, and as such I can not blame the replier for being angry.

The swine in that verse are defined by the way you act. Have you not been bashing us Christian for the sake of your own likes and dislikes of our religion? It is more or less metaphorical, you give people something Godly like this and they treat it poorly and act like swine because in there heart they know it is true, they don't want to believe it though so they are offended by it, and start attacking. What do any of you have against the phrase "God hears your prayers"?

How dare you make assumptions about what I believe. I would never believe your farcical nonsense. I'm sorry I had to put it that way, but you've really pissed me off by implying that I'm in some sort of rebellion against your imaginary friend. Since you feel it's all right to tell others what you think they believe, I'll be open and say exactly what I believe, so you can stop guessing. I believe your religion is disgracefully ignorant. Science, history, and all other forms of progress have shown for the last several hundred years that the bible is metaphorical at best. I think people who base their decisions on literal interpretation of an obvious work of fiction are dangerous and irresponsible. Every time Christianity is brought up in my presence I find it rude. By your beliefs I would be tortured for eternity, and you would praise this decision as righteous. This disgusting attack on the freedom of all free thinkers is an inherrant part of your faith. Am I wrong then to say I don't want to hear preaching from a school of thought that teaches that it's righteous for people to suffer eternally for disagreeing with them?

"Every time Christianity is brought up in my presence I find it rude."

Sorry, but you will have to learn that there are other opinions than yours.

"This disgusting attack on the freedom of all free thinkers"

Isn't that what these comments are?

"Am I wrong then to say I don't want to hear preaching from a school of thought that teaches that it's righteous for people to suffer eternally for disagreeing with them?"

No, you are free to not hear it. However, if you don't want to hear it, what on earth are you doing reading the comments?!

Did I ever suggest that the poster should be harmed in any way for posting this? No. I said I don't like it. On the other hand, chirstianity promotes the idea that eternal torture is a just response for expressing disbelief in something. Again your comparison does not apply.

No, you didn't. You misunderstand my analogy. I'm comparing the belief that torture is an appropriate response to disbelief (hell) to my comparatively mild request that people not push their beliefs on us.
