I stand corrected.

I have though.  I had a Darwin fish on my van, someone took a pipe and rammed it through the back of my van, punching a hole right over the Darwin fish and leaving a religious pamphlet on the windshield.  That was the last time I put anything on any of my cars, religious or not.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.

God needs thugs to damage property in order to try and subdue anyone who might use their brain enough to realize he doesn't exist.

Actually it is. Other cultures present a negative version known as the 'Silver rule'. Since you base your morality on the Golden rule, which was first presented by Jesus Christ, you owe a debt to Christianity. Freeloader.

Your ignorance is astounding. Off the chart in fact.

Would it be reasonable to say anyone who doesn't figure out the golden rule for themselves reasonably quickly is a psychopath? And quite possibly, even a psychopath could learn that it's pragmatic.

Classic religious whack jobs. (I'm assuming your in the U.S. and christians attacked your car) They criticize sharia law, but you'd swear that many christians in this country would love a bible-based, theocratic, conservative, traditionalist, fascist type of government where christianity is the national religion, and no one dare say anything bad about it, or else.

Yeah, you'd have to be a dumb psychopath not to figure out that the golden rule is not only morally, but reasonably best for people as a group and as individuals. I think that's the biggest indictment of these willfully obtuse christians who assert either that it's an impossible puzzle to solve without god, or that theirs is the only religion to ever have it; the consequences are either that they themselves are dumb psychopaths, or that everyone else is.

... and the fact that the world hasn't dissolved into chaos even though it has a majority of non-Christian inhabitants pretty much removes the second option.

Here's another thing religious people do that I'm sure pisses almost every one here off.

Being prejudice to gays. Man does that piss me off. Them feeling like they have the right to tell people who they can and can't marry.

There's literally only two reasons as to why people don't like gays. They're either 1) Stupid 2) Secretly afraid dicks are delicious.

Now I'm not gay, but I can't stand it when people rip on gays. Like I stated above, it's like they're afraid they might be gay.

And you can't tell me you don't like gays because of Lev. 18:22 ("You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.") because the bible also states in Mark 12:31 "Love thy neighbor as yourself"

(I love how the bible is a giant contradiction).
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

Makes perfect sense.

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish.
