Wow, a Christian having a go at us for bare assertions, i don't think i need to point out how hypocritical that is seeing as you accept bare assertions for your religion and any point that would benefit it. And what are these bare assertions i'm making exactly?

If their religion affected absolutely nothing in the world and didn't change their behaviour at all then yes I would be fine with them being theists. However this is not the case. Religious beliefs cause wars and conflicts and is a regular excuse for murder and the oppression of women. Even then I'm not sure if I would be OK with theists, they way they think and see the world (in my opinion) is wrong. They want to know how life began and what the purpose of it is but they aren't prepared to work for it. They are scared of not knowing so they just blindly accept their religion. I'm fine with not knowing how the universe began and i'm not arrogant enough to assert that I do know. Also religion teaches blind faith as a virtue rather than something to be stamped out. Basically it teaches you what to think and not how to think.
