That's something I tried despera...BC waterboy,<br /><br />That's something I tried desperately to communicate to those incoherent defenders of religion.<br /><br />Religion was created to explain things and the universe is still unexplainable. As such, religion doesn't reflect the stupidity of humanity so much as its incapacities. We didn't have clue, but we used brains as sophisticated as the ones we have now to do what we can to make sense of it.<br /><br />And, you're right: Anyone who claims to speak for an imaginary, omnipotent being either has a pretty mercenary agenda, or they have a few screws loose.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-30676410127393374372012-05-24T08:47:55.231-04:002012-05-24T08:47:55.231-04:00I have but a simple line for religion: gap fillin...I have but a simple line for religion: gap filling does not legitimacy make. To me, that's essentially all religion has ever done and continues to do to this day, whatever is unexplained, we revert to the man-made notion of a "god". The most blatant and ignorant of these claims come from those who speak for god whether that god loves or god hates, means essentially the same thing. Too bad we won't live to see the day of religion's extinction.bcwaterboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506402752799423770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-47982322524281079722012-05-23T16:45:44.560-04:002012-05-23T16:45:44.560-04:00You have a history of doing that to me.You have a history of doing that to me.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-64977768106709741532012-05-23T13:26:18.899-04:002012-05-23T13:26:18.899-04:00I'm sure Paul Zachary would agree with your po...I'm sure Paul Zachary would agree with your post, although I'm even more sure that he would prefer you spell his name correctly:<br />PZ Myersb_nicholhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970971023532391095noreply@blogger.com
