Man's stupidity is represented by religion, you see, human beings made elaborate stories and myths to explain phenomena such as; earthquakes, volcanoes, rain, eclipses, and so on.

Religions today are just an extension of of that concept. Its also funny how religion claims to give humans the thing they want most; eternal life, sounds like horseshit.

Also, don't act like religion never influenced pure evil. Inquisition, crusades, rape, torture, slavery, fuck ur god(s)

@Jormungandor I have absolutely no intention of arguing with you over the internet (because that's just plain pathetic) so I will make this my first and last comment, but do you seriously have nothing better to do that pick a fight with everyone you see that disagrees with you? Also, who in their right mind gets drunk while on the computer alone? This reeks of forever-alone patethic guy ._.'' You might not be 100% wrong, but you're not 100% right either. Deal with it, we have different opinions.

@Hamjam117 Personally I have seen rife stupidity in religion this is true however I have also seen smart people who simply choose to just believe as well as morons outside of it.

I.e. mugging little bastards in London, New york etc... no religious motive still scum

Greedy corporate businesses that steam roll people no religious motive

Suicide nutcases (Religious motive)

Evangelical tosspots (Religious or money? motive?) etc...

[jago18777]

Hmm well personally I think men influenced other men by twisting words (that happened) to be religious into bending another human beings will.

Unfortunately we are easily bent by others generally as far as humanity goes, orweillian society is as rife today as it was in the past just under different banners we had the capitalism vs communism etc every bit as dangerous as any religious context.

South park had 3 different atheist factions fighting over the "truth" (hit the nail on the head)

if you really consider yourself a flaw, that is your problem! and why do you get abusive? a bit antropophobic are we? why can't you rely on human kindness, you are resorting to basic aggressive instincts! I don't like religion, but i do respect the universal decleration of human rights, if religions formally adhere to this, i don't have any probs with them. Sadly most religions do not recognise them and actively promote their hate-agenda: extremely "america hates fags!"??? Rational????

@Jormungandor well, the only thing i say (again) is: life expectancy 30 yrs for christianity vs 67.2 yrs for secular science. if someone is an idiot, i'd look in the mirror if i were you! But hey keep mumbling things in cold buildings on sundays!

@Jormungandor "If you prick us, do we not bleed" M.l.king is a black activist. It refers to my plead to let go of the racial arguement and to move on to the real divisive force, religion; the conflicts i mentionned can be boiled down to religious conflicts, nothing more or less, if that is irrational to you, that is your prob!
