My hypothesis

[Harry Nevis]

But not YOUR Religion.  Less than half self-identify as your religion. And I'm sure there are a lot of those you don't consider True Catholics.

And its just SO ironic to see a christian criticizing the right definition of a word.

You seem like a smart guy so I will give you the benfit of the doubt here...

The OP I was responding to pointed out in the age of information RELIGION was dwindling. the point being made was as people supposedly get 'smarter' the run from the old ways.

Again religion has does nothing but increase, what does it matter what specific brand if religion, in general is infact doing the oppsite that what the OP claims?

My task here was to point out how you all have burried your heads in the sand, and have hidden yourselves away from religion in this age of information. So much so that you even on the most basic level cant acknowledge how 'religion' (like ISIS) is using your very same tools to recruit record numbers and even inflitrate your 'temples' of higher learning

You can keep your condescending crap.

How have we hidden ourselves from religion?  Because we won't buy unsubstantiated crap? I'm as conscious of religion as I have ever been, thanks to the greed, hypocrisy and lies spewed by American Christianity. Although what these "tools" are that ISIS is using is beyond me. Or the crap about my temples of higher learning.  Didn't know I had any.
But its not hard to see why so many, especially in America, turn to Christianity.  It cost you nothing, you can kick back and not have to think or reason because someone else does your thinking for you. You can keep all you bigotry and hatred because, after accepting god, you're doing his work. You can feel special because you have Special Knowledge. You have a Personal Relationship with Jesus! There's a whole bunch of people you can now feel superior to. And the bible verses can mean whatever you want them to, because you can't possibly be wrong - and you don't even have to read it!

What a con.
