Religion is superstition.

You're pathetic, I feel truly sorry for you.

Back to name calling? I love my stalker... *laughing*

Name one good thing religion does that one can't do for themselves without it? That you get to go to your local stoning doesn't count, though that could be one.

One thing that you don't get to get duped into giving money to a business you get nothing from along with it? Business, not charity, religions are not charity.
Just one.

If the Bible is correct, then stoning is correct. It is clear.

Ah. A borderline--either black or white, nothing in between. I respect that, I've BEEN that. I also got over that. [rkz--this is your cue to belittle me--go ahead]
I'll continue:

One good thing religion does that one cannot do for oneself? It teaches surrender to those who are helpless before their addictions and hatred.

Wanna take on all the 12-stepper's in the US? Myself, I wouldn't feel comfortable telling successfully recovered addicts that they are NOT recovered due to a HP but merely deluded by Big Corporate Brothers or what have you.
I don't believe the Bible is the Word of God--[i]however[i] I would never presume to tell people how to worship or what to worship--let alone give doubt to those who find comfort in the concept of a Higher Power.

Rip away, r. post bombs.

tell me how stupid and irrational I am. I look forward to it.

Plenty of nonreligious folks go through AA. They just have to fake it through the religious bit, like in Boy Scouts. It's too bad that they have to, but that's the way the system is set up.

The girl would have been OK if she had just played paper, which everyone knows covers rock.

No one is helpless before their addictions and the medical community agrees with me.
Your will is what you need, not religion. The twelve steps do not work.
See Penn and Teller's Bullshit 12-Stepping.
I was told that I could not participate in AA because I was an atheist by a chapter head... real loving and helpful group there.

Bullshit, you've obviously never read the Bible or you would know that. Where does it say that, Bible scholar?
And what has the Bible got to do with the Moslems.

You have gotten more benefit from religion than anyone I know. Since you don't believe in God you can't blame him, so you blame religion for everything that's wrong with your petty little world.

You bluster about personal responsibliity, but blame religion for all the bad shit it your life. Just look at all that crab grass those damn Christians put in your yard.
Pathetic.

I noticed you don't have an example for the first post I made and you think you have benefits I have reaped. There are none.
I have never blamed religion for anything in my life. Show where I have done that once.
I just want it out of every aspect of government.
More insults, "petty", you are so funny, *laughing at you*

Avoiding the question, huh Bible scholar. Just make wild accusations you can't back up and hope it will float. Nope, your shit goes right to the bottom, nobody here is stupid enough to believe your paranoid claims.

You can blame that on religion, instead of taking personal responsibility, too.
