What's the harm?
May 22, 2009 at 7:41 pm
I'm sure we've heard it all before, even if our religion is false, even if alternative medicine doesn't work, what is the harm? No harm, no foul, right?

Well check out this website, and you will know why.

Yeah, someone posted a link to that before (not sure where) but very interesting.

LRH: I think you revel in the idea of a possible war with theists ... I'm not trying to be funny, or even over-personal, but people who advance/support that kind of idea are as twisted as the wingnuts.

Or maybe those who see a future of peaceful, free co-existance with theists are as deluded as they are? Hmmm?

I'm not saying it's not possible but I pretty much stand by my comment ... your kind of stance is fucking pointless, worse it lowers us to their level!

Interesting... I read one of those stories in the newspaper.

At the very least, Christians could at least seek medical advice while praying, rather than waiting for their prayers to work.
