"Again, you chicken out. What a cowardly little weasel." Please watch your language, Brumar89. We understand you are enraged and stewing over with pique...but take a deep breath and consider that your offensive tone is not really appropriate. Thank you. Now face the truth: Religions are all man-made and they always utilize Ignorance and Fear as vehicles of Control and Power. You may need to be controlled in this way. Others do not. Try to understand...

religion in our society is a positive good for individuals and society.... i would agree, there's some good active , caring & practical support networks for the unfortunates ill & dying, that are religious founded. They do overlap constantly with the secular as it should be and Catholics have always been good with their relief societies, even the Mormons are the very best helping out the elderly. I would be all for the forced conversion of evangelicals back to the mother church, you guys on the whole totally suck, always have agendas and do more whining than anything else. Catholics in general do have brains, a decided advantage,

You promote godlessness even though you know religion in our society is a positive good for individuals and society. You're saying I willingly pick wrongly even though I know there is a better choice? BTW that is similar to what Melitus testified against Socrates... You remember Socrates the guy that you accused of committing suicide but in effect was set up by someone very similar to yourself bearing false witness which is against your ten commandments. SOCRATES: Come then, whether do you bring me hither, as one that corrupts the youth, and makes them depraved willingly, or as one who does this unwillingly? MELITUS: I say that you do it willingly.
