“Over time, all religion would converge towards the truth if any were true. The fact that religion is continuing to diverge indicates no religion is the ‘right’ religion and no deity is the ‘right’ deity.â€

Well, it's only like this bloke from way-back-when who picked up what he thought was a stick and suddenly it turned out to be a snake so he flung it down on the ground.
He then thought, "Hey! With a bit of work that'd make a great story for a biblical miracle, if they ever get around to writing them down!" |

If Jesus REALLY loved us he would come back and tell us it's all been con and that his REAL dad was a randy Roman soldier who had his end away with mother Mary while Joseph was out at work.
I mean, that's FAR more likely to be the truth. |

That wobbly table.
Is it wobbly because one leg is shorter or longer than the other three or is it wobbly because three of the legs are longer or shorter than the other one?
Be proud and stand by your own opinions even though you feel you are the only one in step. |

EA Miller |
"Religion is good" is such a lazy, clunky statement. Are there worthy notions found in many religions (love, charity, community, etc)? Yes. But as religions build their "good" on superstitious quicksand, goodness (Humanism) is better served without the baggage, myths and lies.

I have a conundrum. If I tell you your spouse is being unfaithful, you demand proof. If I tell you that you have a life-threatening disease, you seek proof. If I tell you that there will be a Second Coming or Armageddon, you not only seek no proof, but accept such an unsupported statement as truth. |

Faith is the foundation stone of fanaticism. (Observation #1920) |
|
|
Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Religion is an imaginative construct -- a work of art, if you will -- but it differs from other narratives in its social impact. It gives hope of resurrection, salvation, and ultimate justice. It comforts with an anthropocentric view of an otherwise alien or even hostile universe. It soothes with repetition and communal ritual. Because it claims divine origin, it insulates itself -- and believers -- from mere mortal criticism. These elements create a powerful mythic cultural glue which enhances social unity -- and which -- historically -- has enabled tribal survival.
At the heart of its power lies certainty -- which is both its inspirational strength and its moral weakness: while inspiring faith with claims of infallibility and moral purity -- it allows the commission of unconscionable evils in its promulgation and defence. Reason requires that, in the absence of evidence, religion should deny certainty -- but this is like asking the dictator to renounce power, the charlatan to proclaim his deceptions, the predator to give warning to its prey.(Observation #1922)
