(October 20, 2013 at 11:32 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: Can you hear the swoosh of the point I made go flying clear over your head? I've heard the "if religion didn't exist" argument before and yes there was a time when it didn't.

Yes, but your point has absolutely no logical link to the sentiment being expressed, turning it into a strawman. Religion has had absolutely no affect on our evolution out of that stage, nor has it contributed a single thing to our social or cultural development- religious people have, but your holy books, your god claims? Not a jot.

So rather than address the point, you just ignored it. Surprise surprise.
