A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men.

Listen to me, listen to me. It's certainly regurgitated, but it's not drivel.

Well, what are you trying to say then?

Religion is based on indoctrination. This is why people are one religion or another.

Most people don't even wonder if there is life after death.

My God

dude, stop trying to prove religion wrong. it can be good and bad, but the fact that you are only focusing on the bad makes you just as bad as those religious fanatics that you hate

Did I say it can't be good? I just think the bad far outweighs the good.

and if you felt the same about black people you would be racist
