Is Religion Harmful?

[Brian37]

Stop, you have to be one of those PC atheists whom when another atheist is blunt about it, you focus on my flaws rather than the over all message which is FACT. Humans make up gods.

Here is what you are doing.

You "You misspelled evolution, you spelled it evellllluoootion so they are right"

I don't give one crap what you think of me ok. Gods are still human inventions and I just pointed you to a scientist who I agree with.

Do you want to spin your wheels trying to focus on someone who is not your enemy.

There are evolutionary reasons as to why humans group and form those groups based on bad guesses, those bad guesses are god claims and religions. Otherwise if they were fact the Egyptian gods would be real and you know well they are not.

Now have you read the God Delusion? Have you read Victor Stenger's "New Atheism"?

That's quite the little temper tantrum there Brian. If you don't want your words and your ideas criticized, don't put them out there in public. If you do put them out there in public, strap on your balls and take criticism like an adult.

Ok fine guys, not asking you to take my word for so why should it matter. Dawkins does know about evolution and I pointed you to what I agree with, that he clearly states in his book. God is a missfire due to false perceptions. So if you have a problem with calling god belief a missfire, then argue with him, not me.

No "tantrum" on my part. You think I slaughtered describing evolution. Got it, and fine. Still does not change that god belief is caused by human gap filling and flawed perceptions. Now again, don't like it, argue with Dawkins. I think he is right. 

Or are you simply going to coddle the insecurities of believers in some false sense of fairness, all be it well intended.

I'd like to think my fellow humans are strong enough to handle the truth. I don't think you get there by being petty about it. So again, you don't have to take my word for it.
