ZeffD,
"I don't see how anyone tell if contributors like Neophyte are daft, mentally ill, or trolling."
If they didn't post their nonsense what would we discuss?
The physicist Stephen Weinberg said it well, "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion".
It's hardly surprising to me that in most western countries, religion appears to be in its death throws.

How to dispose of superstitions (including religious ones); counter organised religion; and everything else. Those are the threads I generally read and contribute to.
Religionists are often reasonable but ramblngs waste everyone's time. Just my view. I certainly don't come here to listen to "But there is a real truth that i know that even the latest facts dont matter. Its a truth that comes from searching the heart and seeing that there are diffrent facts." I picked that at random but feel we embarrass ourselves by "discussing" tripe like that. It just dignifies gibberish or encourages trolls. I don't mind daft, religious comments but I think they demonstrate the harm superstitions do to some minds far better than any reply ever can. Just my four-pence worth.
@ neo
The number one demographic in all the prisons in the world is CHRISTIAN, so don't hand me this good and evil bullshit. MORALITY comes from SOCIETY NOT a fucking god!
@Neophyte: Has God ever made a man kill his beloved child?
No. God has never made anyone do anything because god doesn't exist. People who kill their children and claim god told them to are mentally ill.
@Neophyte: Not just i but every man knows evil. It smells like death essentially.
Not just I but everyone here knows religion. It smells like bullshit essentially.
Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. -- Steven Weinberg
