I didn't say you were a warmonger, and "wars" was just a part of my argument.
But let me ask you something, WTF is the point of religion anyway when the same people who go to church also lie, steal, envy, rape little boys and girls, are corrupt, have premarital sex, wage wars in the name of god (apparently killing is OK if the victim is of a different religion), etc?
It's just there to give people an illusion of some kind of purpose and to make death a little less scary. Then the people become so devoted to that fake purpose that they start changing the society to fit their own ideas, which aren't all that great really for the most part.
Don't get me wrong, the people who wrote the Bible were very smart. It became a great tool for stupid people to learn great lessons about society and how you should act in order for that society to function, the magic shit was put in there to instill fear in them so they would follow the rules when no one was watching.
But guess what, it's been done before the bible was ever written. The day some half monkeys/half dudes started living together, they signed a contract that said " Don't kill me and I won't kill you, don't steal from me and I won't steal from you, don't **** my girl and I won't **** yours... you get the point."
And yeah... I think my tirade is over for tonight, I gotta go to bed.
