there's nothing logical about faith

---

For the most part in regards to religious faith.

However logic does state it is foolish to think something does not exist merely because no evidence exists. A logical position would be it may or may not exist. Lack of information does not equate to either way.

People like something to believe in. The idea of God gives people hope, and can actually make someone a better person.

Whats so wrong about that?

When they become pompous assholes like Dobson. When they become religious murderers like Bin Laden.
When they become extremely intolerant whackjobs like Graham Jr.
When they ignore all evidence to suit their beliefs and fuck life over for the rest of us.

So, lets not take into account the countless lives which are saved because of Christianity - and various other religions also.

In my opinion, the ones who murder people and do horrible things in the name of their god, have always been bad people. And they use religion as an excuse. They use their god as an excuse.  It's nothing to do with religion itself. Religion does not cause war, people do.

What about te account of the lives taken because of the religion?

While you are clear 'people cause wars', the reason behind them are often religious.

not that i'm needling you or anything oc, but what's so morally/logically/validly incorrect about being a pompous asshole? most of those dudes are hilarious. and if we're going to call bin laden a religious murderer, then we should strongly consider what we consider 'proof', imo.

Being a pompous asshole independent is bad. When one is a pompous asshole because of religion and has huge numbers of people following that person, we have a problem as those people can effect legislation making life far worse for the rest of us. Notice who I stated, Dobson. Fawell too. These are people who said that 9/11 was because of gays. Really.

"I give the probability of this working at zero" - Dan DeMatteo

as for blaming 9/11 on the gays - i suppose it makes some sort of sense, though it's hardly the whole story. cynically, i'm on the side of thinking it was merely done for sensationalist "look at me" value, though if it were done for actual reasons i'd largely think it'd be to do with a culture of people who believe that gays are sinners and should be burnt at the stake whilst facing mecca. this is where i often get criticised for "blaming the victim", which i largely label as irrelevant leftie garbage trying to bleed my heart out, but i stick by it. if you're going to waltz around purporting to a leaning others religiously loathe, part of me thinks it's your damned fault for being so proud about it. only nails that stick out get hammered back in, sort of thing.
