Loaded question.

Go back and re read my OP. Nowhere did I ever claim a cure all for humanity, and I also stated the fact of evolution that it will ALWAYS produce irrational claims. ALWAYS.

What IS destructive about religion is that it is a DISTRACTION. If we can get more people to put it on the back burner instead of treating it as life and death our world could be more peacefulI am not suggesting we can use force to purge people from claiming absurd claims. I am merely saying that we always maintain the ability to question to keep all forms of fascism at bay.

Political parties also are a form of dogmatism. Stalin's communism was worship of the the state. And even outside the issue of government social norms such as "honor" in the family have produced MURDER of daughters in Islam and Hinduism if they refuse to enter a pre arranged marriage.

ANY CLAIM, IDEA, SOCIAL NORM has the potential to become worshiped. Right now globally religion is the biggest offender. Only the ability to question can be humanity's leash on preventing monopolies of power.

Religion has always had a history of stifling progress. It always has to be drug by the questioners into the future. "Religion" ISN'T just about god claims, it is anything that is worshiped, and that can include political ideologies.

If we were truly interested in a fight appeals to the perceived high ground would be meaningless. In a conflict there are only winners and losers. Even so, if someone can explain why it should bother me that I'm intolerant of intolerance, or malicious towards those who harbor malice, I'd be greatly obliged. Before we invoke the hypothetical "decent" christian, their decency and their christianity are decidely different subjects. One might be decent, but one could not be decently christian, at least not by my count. My count, of course, being my own business and in no way indicative of reality in and of itself.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
