McCain's VP choice

[cecilia]

Palin appears to believe in creationism - at least she thinks it's ok to teach that crap in science class. That makes her a kook cultist.

I can't vote for born again wackos (bush) or people who are anti-science.

You mean the hypocracy of the athiest religon?

You know, I don't even know how to respond to this. At first I was gonna respond with some snide remark about how atheism isn't a religion, but you can't possibly be so dumb as to think that it is. Then I thought you're just joking, but considering the context, there's a good chance you're not. So I'm not sure what the point of the comment was.

Unlike the mob here, I believe religon is a deeply personal experience and should be respected as long as it does not harm other people. Mormons (LDS) and JW harm those around them.

All religions deserve to be mocked for the nonsense that they are. Just because nonsense is deeply held doesn't stop it from being nonsense. The Catholic church, in its history, has perpetrated horrors and supported horrors, and Judaism is at its root fundamentally racist and supremacist and has taken delight in documenting horrors committed in its name in the Old Testament. The Mormons and JWs are pretty benign comparatively.

Religions (especially organized ones) are control structures for herding humans and getting them to do what the religious leadership wants done. They do this by a) making the flock feel special and "chosen" in some way, b) telling them there are mysteries that they cannot ever know so give up asking and c) promoting ignorance as a virtue and d) inducing paranoia that outside forces are trying to get them while e) promoting the concept of an authority above the priests that cannot be dislodged by overthrowing the priests so don't even bother trying, "we are only go-betweens".

All kings and emperors throughout history have been aware of the importance of religion in controlling the masses. That doesn't mean that the slave can't come to love his shackles and feel comfort and security in his servitude, but their still shackles and not jewelery.

You mean the hypocracy of the athiest religon?

and the religion of aUnicornism and the religion of aPixieism and the religion of aPhlogistonism and the religion of ... aAnythingElseThatDoesn'tExistism....

If someone told you that they had a sixty-foot tall spider living in their sock draw, would your opinion that this is almost certainly not true count as a "religious belief".
