I was merely pointing out the 2 extremes that can be brought from religion. There is no right or wrong answer with it. You cant prove it but at the same time you cant disprove it.
Some Scientists can be so arrogant to claim they can but science only follows facts and the wonderful thing about facts is as time goes buy more information is discovered which then disproves the old and reveals the new. Atom was once believed to the the smallest thing. Used to think the world was flat.
Religion as i see it is completely down to you having faith that someone or something is looking after you and everyone else
The more I hear about Dawkins the more I'm distancing myself from him but I cant believe he would be the sort of cunt who would questions someone who did perhaps say
'my faith got me through the pain of losing my wife/becoming paralysed/going bankrupt etc."'
If someone can find peace and happiness in believing there is some giant bloke, alien, elephant high above them and gets on with things then why should we question it?
On the flip side if someone gets through these things without finding a faith then why should we question that?
What is worse? A militant religious person or a militant Athiest?
Both want you to think their way and get angry when you don't
I liked Jim Jeffries' idea-
Wake up in the morning. Read the sign that says 'try not to be a cunt' and then go about your day
