Neutron bombs? All for 'em, much more humane than nuclear.
Internment camps? Let's dust off Manzanar and put it to good use.

O'Bama's church structure is racist... just racist... that's it.
The Atkins diet is criminal. |

Religion is often a very good force in the world.

Organised Religion is more often a destructive force in the world. :-P

Because it does good, makes me feel good/happy, tradition, etc... are not reasons for religion.

It is not rational... if your neighbor came out and said "I have a car sized diamond in my back yard, sure am happy" & you said, "Wow, how do you know?". Then he says "because I don't want to live in a world without a car sized diamond in my back yard", do you think of that man as a rational one? Would that be a reason for him to go on a shopping spree?

Oops. I apologize. I just realized which thread this was, and that questioning unpopular opinions is not good form here. Carry on.
I think spectator sports are pedestrian. |

Hey, I trick myself into sleep sometimes pretending I am on a Polar expedition who have only just made it back to base - all warm and cosy and snuggly and ALIVE and that's all that matters.
Whatever gets your through the night. I thought you accepted people's beliefs weren't the problem - only their actions were? So if your neighbour gets off on his "diamond" good for him. Just don't beggar the family spending the mortgage payment because of it.

This thread is about unpopular opinions and mine is that religion is unfounded, not helpful, can be replaced by far more productive activities and irrational. |

Religion isn't rational--that's kind of the point.

I think there should be limitations on spending in College sports. It should be a fraction of what is spent on any educational department. Also, the amount spent should be leveled between sports and genders. |

I think pedestrians should be spectator sports.
