@LordAntonis Yes my friend. Any evil that you can name happens in spite of religion, not because of it. Including the dehumanizing horrors that you mentioned.

@Keysteeze And to rape, create slaves of other groups, deem ourselves the dominant and superior group, tear down others to make ourselves feel superior, and such.

1 less reason is better for everyone.

Violence happens independent of religion. Violence happens in spite of religion, not because of it. If religion were to vanish from the face of the Earth the level of violence in the world would not diminish. We would easily think of other fantastical reasons to kill each other.

@sybo59 I don't know much about the guy. It's possible that I subconsciously paraphrased something I read long ago, but I wasn't attempting to quote anyone.

@andyx1205 Oh man, I just stole your line. I didn't read your comment until I already wrote mine. Kind of ironic, I should have given you credit dammit!

@Jeremyguru You should really give Steven Weinberg some credit for the quote my man. Those thumbs up belong to Steve dammit!!!


Human beings sometimes do bad things, but if you want good people to commit evil acts, that takes religion.

The bible, the qur'an, the torah are all man-made compilations of awe-inspiring bullshit. They deserve the same place in mankind's history as Hitler's "Mein Kampf" (who btw put the slogan "God with Us" on the belt buckles of his SS storm troopers. AFAIK, GAWD never protested it).
The monotheistic religions (the "desert dogmas") have a tendency to stick like dog-sh!t clings to your boot: mankind just seems unable to shake off this utter madness and sheer idiocy. So, no peace in our time!
