What is the harm? We were at a mall in Seattle when we noticed a couple that was obviously Muslim. The husband was wearing shorts and a T shirt. The wife was wearing a head to toe covering (including a veil). Only her eyes were visible. As they ate, the woman had to repeatedly lift the veil to shovel food into her mouth. She also had to lift the veil to drink. It was pathetic to watch. And infuriating. The man gets to wear whatever he wants, but heaven forbid the woman's arms be exposed! This is what religion offers. Ignorance and oppression.
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?
