What is it with religious wack jobs ... always like to play philosopher and talk about logical fallacies (don't quit your day job, janitor, waitress, whatever it may be).
History doesn't support the education/religion thing. Hmmm, duh (try actually reading history instead of your buy-bull or the stupid crap that perverted freak you call a priest tells you).
I think I know the problem, catholicism is full of fucktards like Aquinas (who could write about absurd shit like the magic wafer for hundreds of pages).
Anyway, enjoy your wafers (and explain to me again how it turns to jesus on the way down your esophagus)
Ha ha. As it is biology is also filled with those same religionous fucktards. Feel free to read up on the history of medicine and biology. You are going to find more priests in that field than just about any other (which is saying something as priest are prevalent in every field of science).
Thankfully my day job pays 20 times what a janitor or waitress make. Playing philosopher pays well especially if you can play with numbers and money
Don't be ridiculous. They are turned into Jesus before they head down our esophagus

I know it is not anecdotal evidence or my honest opinion, but I hope it is sufficient to give some justification to statements that history does not support your religion is anti-education claim.
