As long as they can keep you HUMBLE, MEEK, and accepting of anything and everything and saying: "its god's will" then you will forever been CHAINED! I believe in God - don't get me wrong. but I CANNOT believe is FOOLISHNESS, If you are part of a silly unmodernized religion, you are in trouble. besides, all they do is come for your pocketbook. |

MandingoII: So what kind of God do you believe in? What are his/her attributes and how did you come to know about this God? |

Religion is for Drop Outs!!.People hold on to religion, like a crutch because they can't make it any other way. With religion you stop being responsible for your own actions and blame someone else like God when it's something you like and the Devil when it's something you don't like. |

Religion is single-handedly responsible for Europe being prosperous. It was the Catholics that STOLE - math, engineering, geometry, etc. out of Africa and called it their own during the Crusades. After the Crusades - came the REniassiance. those EUROPEAN Barbarians - were holding down the continent for 1000 years - with their pagan rituals and satonic lies. *************** now the Europeans don't even believe in Religion and the rest of this STUPID WORLD does. go figure. |

Give me the storm and stress of thought and action rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith. Banish me from Eden when you will but first let me eat of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. -- Robert Green Ingersoll |

Religion is single-handedly responsible for Europe being prosperous. Idiot. It's precisely because they stamped religion on the head during The Renaissance that Europe became the force that it is. The Renaissance led directly to The Reformation and put the onus much more on humanism and secularism. And the last time I looked, the Crusades were in the Middle East - not Africa. How could they have taken "math, engineering, geometry, etc from Africa during the Crusades when the Greeks and Romans were practitioners of both, thousands of years prior to the Crusades? Judging from your comments it would seem that Atheism is the opiate of the uneducated. |

When religion is used as a propaganda tool the process of mental slavery is ultimately a psychological process by which the mind of african people is gradually brought under the control and they become imprisoned by the loss of the consciousness (awareness) of themselves. |

"The problem with religion, because it's been sheltered from criticism, is that it allows people to believe en mass what only idiots or lunatics could believe in isolation." — Sam Harris "Christians and Jews don't believe in Allah or Brahma. Hindus don't believe in Yahweh or Allah. Muslims don't believe in Brahma or Yahweh. Atheists agree with all of them." — Mark Thomas All religious beliefs seem weird to people not brought up in them. . . . . . . |
