    Quite a generalization but I do see your point. Don't forget though, every day there is more humanitarian aid by religious people than science ever offers. Just saying.

    There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

    This 'Humanitarian Aid' would include medicines I presume, and just how many of them are not created by scientists? And how does this aid get there? Angels or Aeroplanes?

      :thumbsup: However, note that Taliban != Religion.  Even (Religion) Taliban throws an InvalidCastException.  However, Debug.Assert (Taliban.GetType().Equals (typeof(Scumbags)); will succeed, /ravi

      I totally agree, but I thought it funny. FYI I am a practising Christian, but that's my business, however I like to believe I am at least enlightened.

                It is possible I assure you. Anyway too much religion is bound to end up in this thread going to the Soapbox.

                      Dear Religion, This week I safely dropped a human being from space; you shot a 14 year old girl in the head for wanting an education. Yours, Science.

                                      Quite a generalization but I do see your point. Don't forget though, every day there is more humanitarian aid by religious people than science ever offers. Just saying.

                                      There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
