      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.

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

              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.

                              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?

                              ... and how much of this 'Humanitarian Aid' is used as a dogma loss-leader? "Have this aid, remember how awesome we are, now stop using condoms / tolerating homosexuals / educating girls." Andy B

                                  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.

                                  Pretty sure religion has nothing to do with the second sentence of this guy's Wiki page[^]....

                                  The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin
