How many of you would punish religious people for being religious?

[Mermaid]

What would make an atheist arrogant to you?

If he/she thought science was provably superior to religion, and if he/she thought he/she was smarter than religious people.

Hm. As a career scientist, I find that science explains a lot about the physical world, and religion is just not plausible at all to me. That makes me arrogant? Ok. 


Go ahead and punish me.

1) The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.

-Bertrand Russell

2) I find it interesting that a theist would ask this sort of question. It belies the religious mindset: Believe what I believe or suffer/be punished.

That's just not how it works.
