    Barbarians.

    If you want to know why I’m an atheist.

    What kind of entity has 3 different sects of people who all believe this is what it wants?

    Religion is a cancer.

      You can treat cancer, religion is a parasite that needs to be wiped off the face of the planet.

        You can treat cancer but you cannot get rid of it completely. Even treated, cancer is still cancer and could still potentially kill you. Unless, you are able to completely remove it’s existence.

            I know what I wrote. A lot of cancer is not capable of being removed completely. I also understand the reference. What’s the point you’re trying to make?

        With all the respect i can muster, you are the one misunderstanding religion’s purpose.

        They are not.

        If organized religion ever helps humanity at all it is through the good people it inspires to help, the good part of humanity it brings out. The people who focus on that aspect of its tenets would always be good.

        But the book(s) and the men who wrote them are as full of power and venom as any other book, and the very idea that one is special by birth is disgusting and small. It is a venal thought shared by the religious and nazis alike.

        The cancer is organized religion. There is no bad apple within its core to root, it is itself the problem.

        and while the world will never be rid of its mind stifling influence, i will never stop dreaming of the shining day we grow beyond it

        You mean the structure that’s completely monster-made?
