Can't Quibble With Any of These
January 24, 2015 at 12:13 pm
Certain to offend fuckwits of every religion.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/these...the-world/

Quote:These are the 12 worst ideas religion has unleashed on the world

Quote:I’ve previously highlighted some of humanity’s best moral and spiritual concepts, our shared moral core. Here, by way of contrast, are some of the worst. These twelve dubious concepts promote conflict, cruelty, suffering and death rather than love and peace. To paraphrase Christopher Hitchens, they belong in the dustbin of history just as soon as we can get them there.

Good article. I can't hardly imagine what society would be like if these horrible concepts and practices didn't exist.

Most of these ideas would still be around even if there wasn't any religion. People invented these religions after all and it was these same people that came up with the dogmas. All the evil, all the need for exclusiveness are just as much part of human nature as our morality and ability for empathy.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

just wait for the apologists to try and do "damage" control.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

Yup, they shoot they score.

Book worship is a big one. Religious guys just don't realize they are worshipping a book. But that's all their religion hinges on.

Um . . .

All 12 are Religion 101 kinda things.

The gist of the article is equivalent to being disappointed when opening a can of green paint and finding out it is green.
