It takes *little* faith to accept science into your heart... but a little faith is faith nonetheless
I was being ridiculous, rhythm... Christianity is by far the bloodiest religion other than the Aztecs... and it's a pretty close contest there. Don't know which to put in first place -_-
Evidence and facts don't require faith, they require knowledge and understanding.
Also, if I remember correctly, the religious rituals performed by the Aztecs, and the Maya was to take slaves or captured warriors of other tribes and sacrifice them up on top of the temple by cutting open the chest and ripping out the heart. They then cut off the head and chuck both the head and body down the stairs. All this was done so that the sun would return the next day. They feared that light would not return if they failed to make a few sacrifices to appease the gods.
Something along those lines anyway.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
