Of course not, it is the phenomenon of religion itself that I would like to kill, not it's followers.

I think it's great that scientists want to establish our existance as proof and fact to as where it came from, however until that point peoople such as myself are still going to believe what they feel is correct, and what would make sense to them.

Even so, some do learn to think for themselves. And that's great. Doesn't mean that blind proselytization is a good thing.

Some would argue that athiests follow this same aspect.

Ahh. So religion acts as a substitute for good parenting?

No, but it helps. I'd say that 8/10 Jesus kids that are thoroughly complacent in the church are going to grow up and be better citizens than the normal kid that isn't. When I was a kid, we were enrolled in this program called "CCD". It was every wednesday for an hour, and basically they would just read bible stories and talk about being positive in your life (maybe like 3rd-4th grade). I don't honestly see why a religion that preaches being positive and respecting one another, is a bad thing and should be destroyed.

Well, what do you expect? First it was "prove where humans came from." Then it became "prove where life came from." Then it became, "OH OH YOU PROVED IT *puts fingers in ears* NAHH NAHH NAHH NAHH NAHH CAN'T HERE YOU!" Now it's "prove where matter came from." Science is a never-ending endeavor. The place for God, however, keeps shrinking as science keeps expanding.

That word "blindly" that you bolded was they key-word in there. Going with the evidence is not the same as blind proselytizing. And learn the difference between discourse and proselytizing. There are two methods to handle differences -- through discourse, or through violence. Are you seriously complaining that we picked the former??

No, but it helps. I'd say that 8/10 Jesus kids that are thoroughly complacent in the church are going to grow up and be better citizens than the normal kid that isn't.

Actually, there is evidence to this, and it is to the contrary.

And you were a flaming bigot when you first came to this forum!

I don't honestly see why a religion that preaches being positive and respecting one another, is a bad thing and should be destroyed.

1.) Because there is no truth value.

2.) Very strong cases can be made that the Abrahamic religions preach no such thing.

Everyone on here displays a personality that isn't true to what they honestly believe.

Who I am on this forum is who I am in real life. I don't 'Fake' who I am on a forum because I see no point in it.

I wouldnt' really say people fake personalities, but more exaggerate them.

And I see no point to that, Why make friends on a forum if the person they think is their friend isn't really who he said he was. Meh.
