Is atheism a liberating and good experience?

[Kousbroek]

I'm convinced that the fighting in Palestine isn't motivated by religion. Granted, the people in power love to use Allah's name because it gets the people to follow them. But in that sense people and religion are being manipulated for ultimately social ends. Religion is a factor, but not a driving factor. Palestinians and Israelis are not fighting because of Islamic or Jewish ideals.

Same with NI. It was more about hatred in the end, and money and politics and power than Catholics and Protestants.

If you don't get by now that religion was always just about manipulation of the masses to gain power and money you are either seriously stupid or self-imposed ignorant.
In your case my bet is both.
Religion has nothing to do with ideals what a fucking insult of my intellect.
Your attempts to put religion on some sort of pedestal where it doesn't belong is just sickening.
Religion is responsible for a setback in our development as a species of at least a millennium.
'Modern' organized monotheism is the worst thing that ever happened to us and will probably result in the use of a nuclear weapon in the near future ( the 2nd worst thing we ever came up with ).

But as long as you can comfortably enjoy being on a forum puking out your absurd bullshit you are fine right vinny ?... what do you care about reality.
Want some coffee with that vinny or a shoulder massasge ?
