What do you mean "you cannot just get rid of religion?"Skyhook79;1145702 wrote:Thats not the easy one to prove, you cannot just get rid of religion. It would be pretty easy to prove if you have a billion dollars and a unicorn in your backyard.
I realize it isn't going to happen all of a sudden but if you were to remove religion the world wouldn't somehow become some awful violent place. Or rather, wouldn't become any more awful or violent and I'd argue would be less violent and awful.

That episode (or at least that part of it) was making fun of people who say "atheism is a religion". Because it isn't, it just means lack of belief in god(s). Nothing else, it has no political or ideological meanings other than not believing in any god.Raw Dawgin' it;1146139 wrote:Didn't south park have an episode or multiple episodes on this?

I have yet to see "religion" kill anyone. I know people kill others. But when has Hinduism killed anyone? When has Christianity killed anyone? When has Buddhism killed anyone?hoops23;1146150 wrote:Religion is responsible for a lot of deaths.

You do realize when we say AiG we are talking about Answers in Genesis right?sleeper;1145953 wrote:Yeah and AIG had to be bailed out by the government for peddling false beliefs too.
I'm disappointed in your jmog, thought you were a scientist.
The AIG that got bailed out was a financial institution.
You can't be that ignorant can you?

I have read it. Twice actually. While it was an interesting read it made some very stretching conclusions from some interesting assumptions.

However, he can see what you say when someone quotes you. So, he sees a lot of what you say because you get quoted/called out a lot.sleeper;1146262 wrote:The only thing that was caught was you fraudulently saying I'm on your ignore list. LOL How does it feel to be called out?

Reps to you.
It would only be THAT much better if the "Ignore User" actually ignored the quotes as well...maybe it's in an upgrade?
