How you know there are a afterlife? Doesn't sounds logical

Also you don't have to have faith to enjoy life. Don't really see why you need religion for that or faith.

To clarify this isn't about you hating them it's about them hating us, yes? I just want to know where you're coming from on this Smile

Me hating them.

**Darwinian** · May 19, 2009 at 9:32 am

All of them?

~~lrh9~~ · May 19, 2009 at 9:35 am

The most fanatical and extremist certainly.

**Darwinian** · May 19, 2009 at 9:38 am

So you don't want to see all theists dead then. Just the lunatic fringe? Would that be fair?

Surely you should be pitying them? After all they don't appear to have the same grasp on reality as we do. Surely they represent an opportunity for us to enlighten them ... doesn't hatred makes you as bad as them?

Yes. (The rest of this is just filler because the forum wouldn't allow me to post a shorter message.) (@ Darwinian)

I would that war could be avoided. However, observing the extremist factions in religion leads me to the conclusion that if one such faction gained a decisive advantage over all other factions, it would press that advantage to destroy or enslave all who do not share their beliefs, or even destroy humanity in general in the case of suicide religions. I contend that there are some factions that will never willingly peacefully co-exist with others.
