Atheism - to die for!

[TruthWorthy]

Of all religions the most ridiculous was born again christianity. Fair enough that they all stink of ignorance but the born agains went after science and history. The claim the earth is 10,000 years old so dinosaurs can't be any older than that (...unless they were here before the earth was??!); nearly had me in stitches of laughter. Scientology makes some stupid arguements in trying to fuse things together that don't belong, only the delivery method is much better. I suppose brainwashing (as a science) has come a long way.

Yeah, the begat part is a real pain in the ass. Possibly some tribal way to suggest authority to the works.

It is, and stupid people buy it. Land in feudal times was inherited by the oldest son (the first heir).
Most of today's institutions were established during such times. The legal system concerned itself with marriage in this way. For example, of paternity and grounds of divorce and severance of inhereted entitlement.

Refering to a broad catagory such as this requires a sociological approach. You only need to pay attention to the religious spin which politicians use. Why is this significant? Because a large enough percentage of the population will respond to this via voting.
