U2's next single is rumoured to be 'Xenu and Wine'.
Imagine a world without it, no more war, no more power games, no more believes that some people are better than others. Just live you life in peace without any judgement and leave everyone quiet!!!
I'm not a particularly religious person, and I typically try to stay out of political discussions on this site, but I must say this is one of the most absurd things I've ever read on here. And that's saying something.
The notion that humanity would change and "live in peace and without any judgement", and that all wars would stop w/o religion is not only laughable, it is, from a historical perspective, demonstrably inaccurate. Human beings do those things to each other because its human nature, the lack of religion isn't going to change that, and hasn't. And if you believe that religion is an invention of human beings, than all the things you deplore about it...war, repression, judgement...were invented by humans as well.
Not to mention that some of the most brutal, murderous regimes in history have been atheist regimes...how do you account for that? Where was the peace and quiet you speak of in Mao's China or Stalin's Russia?
We are an inherently violent species. And we are not violent because of religion..religion is violent because of us. If people didn't fight about or because religion (and a lot of blood has been spilled that way, to be sure), they'd find something else to fight about, they always have. Oil for example. And when the oil was gone they'd fight about the sand.[/QUOte

Now a Scientologist?
The end of the world must be upon us?
Almost as bad as being a member of the Catholic Church.
Are you seriously comparing Scientology to an institution that carried Western Civilization on it's back for about 1500 years?
It would be wise to dig a little deeper into history - there's more there than what can fit into a tweet.

I miss Hitchens
Let me laugh a bit.... thanks.
The catolic church has been the worst of all. The most narrow-minded cult that is allowed on earth. They killed, they burned, they arrested, they denied all the biggest scientists and put them in prison. You think this church is a progressive movement? Well then we don t see things the same.
However, I know I won't convince you or lazarus of much of anything in a few online posts. But I would encourage you to add some depth to your thinking and do the truly radical thing of appreciating the good where it does exist.

Laz was provocative before it was mainstream.
Amazing. There is always room for healthy debate about religion, but imagine someone posting "Almost as bad as being a Muslim (Hindu..ect)" or something along the sorts. Moderators here would give warnings and people would be quickly throw terms like "ignorant," "bigot," "xenophobe." Only on interference though, does a "moderator" call an insult on Catholics "provocative." Interesting.
