It's too bad founders of religion or their deified egos are never concerned about establishing the historical facts surrounding their timeless revelations as much as the modern apologists are.

So true, and its this childish idea that my religion is better than yours, is the cause of all misery in the world. Mohammed hated the Jews and Christians, so he simply made his own religion.

Fuck labels, humans need to make those back burner issues. Can't avoid them any more than any other word. I "hate" too, but for different reasons.
It is impossible to get all 7 billion humans to only say nice things about others. But what all of us can do is understand more that regardless of our labels we are individual human beings FIRST.
I simply want to maximize the idea that things like poverty, pollution, crime and war should be our focus as a species to reduce. Outside that we need to ALL realize that if the worst you get is a "fuck you" you are doing good.
I hate our species dark side. I hate that we are far too tribal. I do not hate our good side. I love our ability to be compassionate. I do hate the idea that religion tries to hold the patent on our empathy and holds it hostage.
No one, not even atheists have a patent on cruelty and compassion.
