Jim Cornette on religion

[vorlon13]

quoted from the video.

"There's been nothing that has caused more war, more murder, more genocide, more homicide, more persecution, more strife and misery and pain in human history, than this irrational belief in any religion."

Well communism has the death toll on lock at over 149 million deaths, Stalin (an atheist) alone is credited with 20 million. I challenge anyone to find a where any religion has caused more deaths.

Obviously getting rid of religion isn't the answer.

Um, recall Ananais and Sapphira, and then reconsider the categorization of 'communism'.  And just because US Christians seem to abhor communism, their distaste (or should I say impiety?) doesn't erase the lesson from their Bibles.

Define conservative. We (me/I) are not all one thing or the other.

According to the video you'd tend to rate higher on In-group/loyalty, Authority/respect and -if you weren't such a godless rebel- Purity/sanctity.  Of course, results can vary.  The phrase "guns and bibles" come to mind but I'm not at all sure you'd embrace either of those.  How about a general tendency to see the world as an unsafe place requiring vigilance and preparedness?  And of course a high regard for tradition writ large.  But that's just off the top of my head.  What would you say about it?

World: Not really unsafe, but then my world is fairly small now. Not so much on the vigil, more on the prepared or planed. I do like consistency. Weird is another discussion

Tradition: I have no problem with it, if you like that sort of thing. I'm fairly traditionless. There is no Thanks Giving, Xmas or other holiday tradition, but I did grow up with them. Can't think of another tradition that I routinely observe other than voting. If you can give other examples of tradition I'll tell you if I observe them. 

Guns: Nailed that one. But they are only toys and hobbies. No pistols. 

Gun bibles: None. Internet gives me everything I need.

Bible: Merck Manual (vet addition also), Goodman and Gillman, there are others.
