Except cancer has absolutely NO redeeming value, whereas "group gathering" has at least some benefits, cloaked in religion or not.
Look, guys, I don't think religion is necessary to have happiness of life, but it's shite to ban it based on the bad some of it has done. Does it need to be subjected to secular laws? Yes.
Rhythm Wrote:Absolutely. I keep asking this. What would be left? Without chruches, without sunday schools, without religious tax shelters, no religious influence in politics, no representation in law....what would be left?
What do they do? Picket fags? Fuck children in the ass? Stone people to death? Manipulate the legal system to murder their children? Mar our education system....? Obviously these are just my opinions but I see absolutely no redeeming qualities to any of it.
Use a figurehead to promote charity. Provide (delusional) comfort in the face of death. Offer explanation for abstract feelings.
Why make people get rid of churches as part of it?

I'm always skeptical of people who think they know what's best for the entire world, my love.
