Stuff religion does:
- Start wars. Religion not only created 9/11, it was Bush's religion that convinced him to invade Iraq - or so he said.
- Stop progress. We desperately need a single global currency, and a single global legal authority. But Teh Babble sez those things are from teh Debbil, run screaming!
- Make Republicans. I was a hardcore left-wing anarchist, then I done got saved. hally-meh-looyah! And Teh Church done convinced me that the GOP was Gawd's party, praise Jeebus! My faith convinced me to vote for G.W. Bush. Twice.
- Waste talent. I am a fucking kickass musician. But I wasted my best years in church worship groups, masturbating so the Pastor could have a cush salary.
- Kill children. By refusing doctors because Gawd. By bombing heathen villages because Gawd.
- Justify Racism.
I could go on, but what's the point? Our brains are scary things, and religion exploits that fact for fun and profit.
