After seeing vids from over there, I'm amazed at just how much bullshit they're having to put up with.
Yeah, the leve of religious crappola we have to endure is pretty bad. I have to bite my tongue every time we eat at my brother-in-law's. He always begins every meal by saying, "Shall we pray?". In my head I'm screaming, "NO!!!! WE SHOULDN'T!!!". But I have to sit there and smile while they perform their nonsensical ritual of thanking their nonexistent deity. I usually try to busy myself by buttering my bread or playing with my napkin. I don't want to give off the illusion that I'm joining them.
But at least I don't live in the "Bible Belt". A buddy of mine traveled there for business not too long ago. He reported that when they took their lunch break almost everybody sat there reading a Bible while they ate. UGH!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
