    That's fine. If all I had to go on was the harm that false religion does to the world, I'd probably agree.

          I don't deny that there are many benefits to religion but they are out weighed by the harm it causes. In my opinion there are only false religions.

                      So if you see the detrimental effects of what you consider false religions do you similarly see detrimental effects of atheism?

                        Yes. Falling moral standards, as one would expect from any system left to atrophy with no external source to maintain it, and, obviously, death. That's just off the top of my head :-)

                                  Actually, no-one said how we'd solve overpopulation. In a world of magic, the ideal way would be to create a way to generate enough food and energy for everyone. It's only if that's not possible, that the options are obliteration, and some sort of population control.

                                      Well if I asked the question Christian did and someone responded with something that was central to my life I'd probably be a little put out. I know he's got thick skin but I've been bitten to many times by seemingly rational people having what appear to me an irrational response when their religion is brought into question.

                                      I remember years ago when I was moving to Texas, a friend advised me no matter what or how rational someone seemed, to never, never discuss religion with them. :rolleyes:

                                        My dad gave me some good advice. He said there are only three reasons you can loose a mate, a girl, money or religion. But then again he also told me not to trust people with a first name for a last name :)

                                          That's fine. If all I had to go on was the harm that false religion does to the world, I'd probably agree.

                                          And, of course, you're the arbiter of what is a false religion. As I recall, you don't believe Catholics are Christians even though they had a monopoly on it for 1500 years and you couldn't even begin to call yourself a Christian if not for them.
