  • Actually, Qunicy, a theory is basically a hypothesis that has substantial/overwhelming evidence behind it, to explain witnessed and observed phenomena, like the Theory of Gravity, or Germ Theory.

    So…before you mock science, try to at least understand it. Most of us have studied or at least familiarized ourselves with religions before we dismissed them. I myself spent 22 indoctrinated in fundamental Christianity before realizing that there was no legitimate evidence to support it – books of the bible were forged, written hundreds of years after they were claimed to have been written, chosen from a huge pools of writings at the Nicene council (google it, or go to your local library and do some research if you don’t believe me).

    The bible (and most religious texts) are filled with inconsistencies and contradictions and written by men (and a handful of women, maybe) who thought that they were doing some good.

  • There is very little difference between the God of Islam and the God of Christianity and Judaism. I don’t know if you’ve ever read the Old Testament, but Yahweh was a bully and, by most accounts, a childish scoundrel with a Him complex. He ‘gave’ his creations free will, then murdered the crap out of all but a handful when they acted on it.

    If he/she/it is omnipotent, then he knew what would happen ahead of time and created Man for the pleasure of sentencing X amount of them to Hell for eternity (incidentally, that’s a really, really long time and a really disproportionate sentence for ANY crime).
    If he/she/it is omnipotent, then he could have given humans free will without allowing them to ‘sin’/being offended by anything that they did.
    If he/she/it was all loving, then he wouldn’t sentence anyone to an eternity of suffering – he’d give them multiple chances until they got it right (reincarnation or what-have-you)

    If he/she/it is not all of those things, there is no reason to worship him/her/it.

  • Actually, you see more claims of religious adherence among areas with lower education and higher crime rates, like the Bible Belt.

    And to the rest of you, the opposite of Communism is Fascism and Hitler was a promoter of the protestant church and had many, many protestant supporters (whether out of fear or agreement, it doesn’t matter), so there you go.

    And CAPS LOCK or ALL CAPS doesn’t make you right, it just makes you annoying (I realize the irony in that I too used it, but I’ll accept the charges of hypocrisy that are inevitably heading my way).

  • @Acidovorax
    Amen brother/sister. Name one society based on a religion that didn’t end up going nuts

    Fanaticism on either side is dangerous

  • My female friends it was hilarious and they agreed.
    But they also don’t believe in Sky Magicians who tell their closest followers to murder their kids just for giggles

  • I’m not sure if you’re a troll, or just get all of your news from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and The Blaze…

  • Agreed

  • Wow….how childish
