Let's just face facts.... man is overwhelmingly still a superstitious creature. We've been to the Moon, but we are still frightened and alone in the dark.

Without a religious construct already in place...man invents one every single time.

you people are coming in here spouting nonsense and missing the entire point of this thread. Shut up and do this properly, or don't bother at all. You're no different then a religious heckler with the way you're acting and going about your points. No worse than what some people are 'oh so annoyed' with here regarding theists and they way they tend to go about things. You're being just as obnoxious as them.

And I agree with you CrackerJax, It could be just me but whenever faith is more and more involved, I always tend to find ritual and superstition inclined to do so as well. Having 'faith' in some aspects is fine, but it seems a wholly unhealthy process of thought from the get go.

Where is faith drawn from? What is the process of it all exactly? Where do you know to draw the line before passing the boundaries of
essential logic and reasoning? Having faith in god enough to hope for a prayer to save your own child say instead of medicinal practice and
the knowledge in the fact that it probably in all likelihood would have been more healthier for her then the previous. Seems like a slippery rope
to walk across in my opinion.

Hmmm.. Okay GC, what do YOU think Jesus would say If he came back and saw the Christian faith? Do you think he would approve or disapprove with what has been done in his name..... tell me, please. What do you think he would say?

Religious moderates.

Betray both their religion and humanity.


And i understand the fasle sense of comfort and security of faith that religion provides BUT it gives credence to innumberable injustices all over the world whether you approve of them or not.

The continued subjugation of women in all of the major religions. The overwhelming amount of attention/negetivity towards people's personal sex lives and legal civil-union of homosexuals.

You DO NOT need religion or "god" to have an overwhelming enlightening experience. Nor do you need drugs. All you need is the want for betterment. As our species and wealth of knowledge gets more & more complex we SHOULD note that we have an obligation to put those out-of-date religions and doctrines in the 'mythological' section. We have not hesistated for a second to compile those ever so learned beings of the greek faith in the forgotten file. Zeus, Poseiden, Hercules, etc.

We have the ability to do the right thing in this world W/out the rhetoric of religious dogma.

It's a faulty system that allows too many moral and sometimes legal loopholes to our human rights and freedoms. I disagree with religion when it detaches from philosophy and becomes ritualistic superstition.

I think its a bit hypocritical that you expect other people to follow your rules, but you didnt follow theirs/// Atheism must be great.
