[PLUG-TALK] Religion is not bad...

If you won't accept proper scholarship as an argument for how to
interpret the bible, you cannot recognize what the Catholic church
or anyone else for that matter teaches about it.  Claiming the 
church teached that evolution is sacrilege but not giving any 
specifics of that is NOT evidence.  At most the church has said 
that evolution is just a theory and in all honesty it is just a 
theory.  It looks true today, but that may not be the case in 20 
or 100 years.

There are no religions older than Christianity based on a false god
that have outlived it.  Judaism and Christianity are cousins.  Greek
mythology is dead, nobody practices a religion based on it.  You
claim otherwise, but again you have provided 0 evidence.

Saying people like me need to be fought or we will take over government
and institute state religion is laughable.  This is just discriminatory
on your part.  I believe I said a long time ago that faith is a gift,
not something that can be taught or enforced.  If I'm from a body that
indoctrinates people all the time, why haven't I indoctrinated you?
Religion deserves tolerance from all Americans and that includes you
because it is protected by freedom of religion right alongside the
freedom of speech that everyone on here worships.

Most people in the world practice one of the three major religions.
These are Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.  There are other faiths, 
but they tend to be minor.  No major religion is older than 
Christianity except for Judaism which is Christianity's cousin.

People like Wes with closed minds that will not recognize the things
going on around them are annoying.  People who won't accept that there
are human limitations that can't be surpassed without faith are
annoying.  A man who is "okay" with his limitations and allows them
to limit his vision is not much of a man at all.  He will miss a
great deal as the world passes him by.
