How to tell if a religion is B.S.

[Aliza]

If the theist thinks Jebus or Yomomma told them to feed starving child, and a starving child gets fed, then who gives a shit why they did it? If the atheist thinks that feeding hungry children is the right thing to do, but they don't do anything about and nor do they facilitate the theist in doing it, then as far as I can see, the theist wins the game.

Regardless of why the theist went on a mission to feed hungry children, kids ended up with food in their bellies.

When people start taking their marching orders from invisible friends, we end up with a bunch of whackadoodle all running about. Doing WHATEVER they think they got told to do.

Rational people don't force a thousand people to drink poisoned koolaid - or drive aircraft full of people into buildings.

Only people with " a direct line to god" do that kind of shit. Or whackadoodles - which amount to the same thing.

I dunno... the mother of three who is organizing a door-to-door food drive in my neighborhood for the local Christian food pantry seems driven by the desire to help people. She doesn't seem like a whackadoodle to me at all. That she also believes in Jesus is immaterial. I'm too lazy to do a food drive, but because of her efforts, homeless people will have a bagged lunch and a hot dinner.

So I'll fill up the bag she left me and leave it on my door.

Good job, lady.
