Makes sense... now where in that whole procedure may a god pop up?

It's like "always" and "never". I don't like them.

I like beautiful girls... bring them on! Wink

Now seriously, what does that have to do with anything we're talking about?!

You said that we could dismiss religion because some things which are bad have been done in its name.
I said what?!

If I recall correctly, all I said was that believing in god has informed a few worldviews which have led to the destruction of life, instead of what you were saying that such belief "informs a world view which improves life", implying that it is always the case.

I was merely correcting the implication of your sentence, pointing out that sometimes it fails.
