Tracy, what the hell is wrong with me having my own beliefs? Seriously? Secondly, does me believing in a Higher Power directly affect you in your daily life? Thirdly, where in my post did I say that science and religion couldn't mix?And most importantly, why the fuck must people not let this subject drop?

What is wrong with you having your own beliefs. Nothing is wrong with that. as long as you keep it to yourself. The problem is that people with religious beliefs ofttimes use those beliefs to justify evil. Just like leaders who say God is on our side, knowing full well that their religion actually teaches that God loves all his children. For hundred of years, people justified the enslavement of black people by saying the "Mark of Cain" was upon them. How many innocent people died at the hand of the Holy Inquisition who had God on their side. How many natives of the Americas died because they were "pagans" to the invaders from Europe that came bearing crosses and little black books. How many people died from the Sword of Allah. And so on down through the ages. Blood, blood BLOOD!!

The problem is that people like you who are unable to think for themselves are the same people who are so easily led by their noses to do horrible things to their fellow man, all in the name of God, or Allah, or even Satan. It is lazy people who don't even know their own religious teaching thoroughly that are so easily manipulated by other evil men. That is why so many consider George Bush nothing but a foolish puppet. That is why the founding fathers of America wrote it into their Constitution that there would be a separation of Church and State; they were all too aware of this problem. I have no problem with those who do really follow the teachings of Jesus or the true teachings of Mohammad as both are truly religions of tolerance and love for your fellow man and I think both would weep to see the evil and the blood shed in thier names.

So why don't we let this subject drop? Answer; Because of our instinct for survival that has come down to us throughout all the eons of evolution. Frankly, because we are scared of the Hell on Earth that we see the religious strife bringing upon us in this world of nuclear weapons, germ and chemical warfare, and other weapons of mass destruction. We are not talking about a people or a kingdom being wiped out now, we are looking at the extinction of Mankind. That is; Everybody, Everywhere! All! Inclusive! Nobody left!
And since we really truly believe their is no "pie in the sky", that will be it, kaput. No more. finis

I'm not ridiculing you or trying to harass you. Are you holding a church service here or is this a discussion thread? I'm just pointing out flawed statements like "everything has signs of intelligent design", and the perfect order of everything that you mention. You're free to believe what you want. You presumably chose your belief system because you believe it fits best with reality. Have enough confidence in your belief system to know that it can withstand a few questions.

I never said science and religion shouldn't mix. I never said you didn't think they should mix.. If you have no problem with religion mixing with science, then what is your problem with what I'm talking about here?

Well according to other people, I am unable to think for myself because I believe in a higher power and I should be responsible for other peoples actions because they fucked up in the past. My problem is that someone couldn't handle the answer I gave them and turned this subject against me. Plus if I wasn't typing on an Ipod, I would be able to write out a more thorough response.
