I don't think you have made one post that has been iformative, you spew hatred towards those you disagree with, and wish badly upon everyone else. Put down the crack pipe and smoke a blunt.Religion is something that people who are insecure or unhappy with their shitty lives cling to.
Christians and Muslims are the worst of all the brainwashed idiots, if only they would all just go out into the desert and kill each other off already the world would be a better, more peaceful place.

that is not true my friend
i know several people who have benefited from their religious beliefs and their lives were beautiful
not me personally, but my grandmother for instance
and if it's peace your after, you might want to reconsider the war you wish for
Actually that is not true. The largest wars were distinctly atheist. Stalinist Russia outlawed religion and the Nazis embraced Nietzsche who said "God is dead."I know people who's lives have been ruined by religion. I know people who have used religion as an excuse to be violent thugs. Every war on the planet has been fought over religious bullshit.
Yes, this is meant to be sarcastic.Religion is something that people who are insecure or unhappy with their shitty lives cling to.

Exactly. Just because you believe in the science of evolution, it doesn't mean you can't believe in God. Charles Darwin was not an atheist, at times he called himself agnostic but never an atheist.Why can't both be true?
dude, that was beautiful. thanks for writing it.Actually that is not true. The largest wars were distinctly atheist. Stalinist Russia outlawed religion and the Nazis embraced Nietzsche who said "God is dead."
Pol Pot and Khmer Rouge, nothing to do with religion. Mao se tung, nothing to do with religion.
It is correct that the wars involving Islam are about religion. And of course the crusades were about religion to an extent. But the fact that one needs to go back that far disproves the premise.
People who don't understand religion tend to judge it harshly and unfairly. Religion is what has inspired some of man's greatest thinkers and has been a tremendous source of good. Many of our founding fathers used religion to argue against the slave trade. An argument which eventually won.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who use religion as cover for antisocial thinking and behavior and that has a profound effect on how others view religion. People who stand on street corners preaching about the end of the world and how everyone needs to repent are not religious, they are mentally ill. People who read the Bible and take everything literally are likewise a few cards short of a full deck.
If anybody, religious or not, wants to better understand the roots of JudeoChristian philosophy the best place to start is by picking up a book on Talmud or any books that explain the basic tenants of Judaism. Anything written by Joseph Tulushkin is good.
While on the subject, I'd like to say that I have never understood people who hold firm religious views while not understanding the roots of their own faith. I think this is a big part of what causes so much confusion. When you have people trying to interpret a text that is both a discussion on philosophy and law, and those people are unfamiliar with the context in which the discussion takes place, they are bound to misunderstand it.
As is true in life, if we are all free to make up our own interpretation for everything, chaos will certainly ensue.
At any rate, don't be so quick to bash all religious people based on the small group of nut jobs that stands out. For every nut job there are thousands who use religion as a source of moral guidance and genuinely seek to do good.
