I assume at some point someone had to have said something like, "Because evolution teaches us we're all animals, it causes those who believe it to behave like animals!" Right, because the book you worship that says the pious slit open the stomachs of pregnant women is totally not at all like what a ferocious predatory jungle cat would do.
I don't get this false equivalency and reversal of terms here. Evolution, knowing the stamp of our lowly origins, teaches us humility. Yet the believers commonly ascribe that to themselves, while at the same time stroking their ego-cocks to the fact that they're god's special helpers. This is why I can't take my friend seriously when he says faith isn't the same thing as insanity. I'm willing to go as far as conceding it's not stupidity (which has no cure, while insanity can be treated) but not insanity? That's going a step too far.

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?
