Well there's also the fact that women are treated like garbage in the bible, and viewed mainly as property. I doubt the ancient mentally challenged believers would have allowed property to learn to write, let alone let them write anything. Especially something they'd consider of importance.
Heck, I know Christians alive TODAY who think that women shouldn't speak in church or run for political office. I can only imagine how the neanderthals who wrote the bible would have reacted to the idea that women would have any real power.
I'm sure they would have made the miraculous birth even MORE miraculous by having Joseph give birth to Jesus, but they realized nobody would believe their made up stories if they weren't at least grounded somewhat in reality.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton

... if beating the snot out of each other is your metric.
Me, I think it's a good case for cultural evolution that we don't engage in such stupidity. As for biological evolution, you'd have to make the case that we're actually incapable of such antics due to the mutation of our genotype in order to support your point that we've devolved. And the change in alleles over time is the metric for evolution -- or de-evolution, for that matter.
I'm still waiting for a reply.

Haha....
Read the bible. Then tell me religion isn't poison.
We should all be working to stamp religion out of this society.
The Satanists are certainly doing their part.
Nuff said.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll

Now this is a textbook ad hominem. Rather than address the points, attack the motive. It can't be simply that Min has opinions of his own and wants to express them - no, there must be something deeper and more grievous, that explains his opinion and renders it invalid.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

They just can't believe that someone can exist without their fucking bullshit god story. They are really rather pathetic, Stim.

I myself think that Christian faith in eternal hell is a human fabrication, because it cant even pass our universal standard of fair trail. And yet, millions of minds try to embrace this mind torture to present a reason for themselves on why they should sacrifice their lives for the "greater good". And if God exists, he doesn't even give a shit when one of the "holy books" he presented to one of to nations get edited by believers. Yahwe witnesses, went as far as removed extreme penalty completely and replaced it with permanent death idea, for unbelievers.
I was in hindu strand of religion, and they had a sophisticated explanation of hell, where its described as temporary penalty.
Still, even science didn't gave me a 100% certainty, that there is no God, even the one who is bent on turning people into perfect beings/"junior angels" even if He has to torture people quite literally to an unimaginable degree. And this hardcore version of God is the most popular brand of presenting a Deity.

Why is religion being responsible for harming someone a bad motivation for wanting to stamp it out? Just because it may not be happening to you personally, the fact that it's so visibly harming people the world over should be more than sufficient justification for railing against irrational beliefs. So to ask the question, 'what did it ever do to you' actually has a very simple answer, you don't even need to say that the question is irrelevant. "I see the harm it does worldwide and it offends my sensibilities on a level that is virtually indescribable". Is that a good enough answer?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

How many things in life are you 100% certain of? Why does an absurd fairy tale have to meet that standard?
