Abolish all religion - it causes more trouble than its worth!


I'm sure there's some bloke looking down from heaven saying "it
was only
a
wind up, I didn't really expect them to be following the stuff
2000 years
later."


Save the world from slaughter and become an atheist.


Where does one sign up for that? Do you know the address of the
local temple?


...and why would an atheist have a temple? A temple to worship,
erm, nothing?


Ah, but you see, it's a religion in itself. A decision not to
believe in a god.
There are people of like mind, so therefore it is a religion.


Not really, since A-theism by DEFINITION is not about a choice NOT to
believe in god, but more or less decision to constrict a world that
ignores the possibility, probability or otherwise, as *irrelevant*.

The religious amongst us would like to puzzle us with questions like
'when did you stop beating your wife' but the response of 'I don't
have a wife' seems not to satisfy them.



Well of course it doesn't. The initial premise is incontrovertible.

Surely you wouldn't want to promote heresy?



Why not promote heresy - the world would a damn sight safer place to live in
if religion was abolished (it would certainly remove at a guess around 90%
of the causes of war and terrorism).
