Thread Name: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
Subject: RE: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
None of my "religious" experiences or associations in this life have led to me doing any bad things. Not one. Tough shit for Dawkins' theory.

And I have done some bad things too. (mostly of a fairly trivial sort in the greater scheme of things...but not in my life's journey)

I regard people who rail against all organized religion on principle the same as I do people who rail against all science and technology on principle. They've got a serious persecution complex allied with a gross ignorance of the real meaning and purpose of the subject at hand, and they need to find an external scapegoat out there in the big world somewhere to blame for what is little more than their own psychological maladjustment to life.

And get this: Life doesn't care what you think about religion or science or God. Life is sacred. Life is all there really is. Life goes on forever. Your opinions don't. You ought to find something TO believe in yourself, rather than getting your jollies by dumping on other people's beliefs. Other people's beliefs are no business of yours.
