Your last few posts are solid examples of why people should actively oppose religious thinking.

You made it plain, that if you could be convinced that something was 'gods will' then you would commit acts of evil, even if you knew they seemed evil to you, because 'god is just and cannot be wrong'.

This is the mindset of suicide bombers, Taliban and.........
