Re: Ath vs Dei
An atheist looks at religion and sees nothing but unfulfilled claims, dodgy texts, failure to uphold tenets, and a bloody history.
I am really looking that this topic not become a critique of the details of specific religions and/or the successes or failures of those religions.
In other words, please no religion bashing.

There seems to be a lot of people that don't have a clue about the topic theme
Going to close it down. Maybe I'll open it later and hide dozens of messages and plaster dozens of off-topic banners.
Might even throw in some suspensions.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source
