Why Engage in Religious Debates?

Mainstream Christian activists, pressure groups, and voters are having a negative impact on the lives of all us non-Christians whether we acknowledge their presence and power or not. Theyve managed to derail promising stem-cell research which might have led to cures for many diseases. Theyve managed to demonize and restrict the availability of abortion, sterilization, contraceptives, and sex education. Theyve undermined and slashed funding to U.N. programs designed to reduce world overpopulation. Theyve waged war on homosexuals and homosexual rights. Theyve stigmatized AIDS victims and impeded programs and practices which have slowed the epidemic where theyve been instituted. Theyve made it harder for people with painful, terminal illnesses to end their lives in comfort and dignity. Theyve worked to restrict what we can see and read in our communities and on the Internet. Theyve worked to limit what we can drink and when. Theyve sought to maintain bans on interracial dating and marriage. Theyve repeatedly told women in ways big and small that theyre not as good as men and that they ought to shut-up, get married, submit to their husbands, and have babies for the glory of God.

At the same time Christians have been working overtime to restrict the rights of others, theyve been working to obtain special rights for themselves. Churches and church-groups are now exempt from many of the zoning laws and other rules and regulations the rest of us must obey. Christians want public school students to begin the day with prayers and pledges to their God - and they want their unscientific Creationism to be given special treatment in those studentss science classrooms. They also want their Ten Commandments to be accorded a special place in schools, courthouses, and other public places paid for and used by everyone. Some proclaim a God-given right to beat their kids, deny them medical care, own as many guns as they want, and take as many wives as will have them.

"During the youthful period of mankind's spiritual evolution, human fantasy created gods in man's own image who, by the operations of their will were supposed to determine, or at any rate influence, the phenomenal world... The idea of God in the religions taught at present is a sublimation of that old conception of the gods. Its anthropomorphic character is shown, for instance, by the fact that men appeal to the Divine Being in prayers and plead for the fulfillment of their wishes... In their struggle for the ethical good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal God, that is, give up that source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vase power in the hands of priests."
Albert Einstein...

"At least 90 % of the dogma of the three Jewish/Christian/Muslim religions is meant to control what people do with their bodies. They are all Homophobic Male Chauvinist PIGS. They don't seem to mind the Catholic's so called "Father" bending over all the Alter Boys and putting more then just the fear of God in them. "Altered Boys" is what they are after that life changing experience. It gives a whole new meaning to being On Your Knees in the confessional booth. Forgive me Father, for I have sinned"......

"We are simply a more sophisticated better educated, well trained Animal. Some more or less fortunate than others"

"A believer is not a thinker and a thinker is not a believer."

The "Believers" have us "Outnumbered",
But "Atheist" have them "Outsmarted"

"It is due only to the
"Natural Evolutionary Process"
that the human brain has been subjected to for millions of years,
since we emerged as a species, that our brains developed the mental capacity which allows us to ask ourselves,
What am I? Where did I come from? What happens to me when I die?
Then our very vivid human imagination took over and we invented an answer, an idea that we liked, a figure head we could
praise and use to explain all those questions we had.
We quickly discovered that we could use this idea as a tool to influence others.
We gave it a personality. We wrote stories about our new idea.
We called it "GOD"
We imagined thousands of gods for everything we did not understand.

We call belief in gods and goddesses "Religions"
All religions owe their entire existence to the Evolution of the Human mind/imagination"
