Religious people are easier to offend and "hurt" "sentiments". Isnt the job of religion to make people a more calm and composed person? If it rather pushes you to the other edge isnt it a failure or rather a hurdle than a support? So they want us to "believe" in all this mumbo jumbo or not questions all the magic that none of us has ever seen.. if we dont they would get angry and threaten to kill us. Now I dont see these people as better in any way.. Would they not be a better person without these "beliefs"?
Explain to me the essence of religion and I will convert from current agnostic state to your "faith"..
Please help me convert and further your cause.. I am ready to accept whatever bribe you guys give to all the poor/hungry/disabled parts of the world to increase your veto power. I will start the auction at a 1000$.
I am sure in 2050 when this world would be really advanced and we would actually see all flying cars and etc etc as promised by terminator/blade runner (that never happened in Y2K :( ) all this religion billycrap would be gone and people would laugh thinking about how "crazy" "emotional" "offendable" "vulnerable" and "weak" everyone used to be indulged in all these fairy tales and work towards making some real progress.
