    Imagine you could fix one issue in the world. Just one. Which one would you fix ? Global warming ? Poverty ? Why would you choose it ? I'd choose overpopulation, because if we don't solve that one, we're all screwed, no matter how warm or cold it is.

      Good choice... I'd fix my bank balance - throw a heap of zeros between the digits and the decimal point - this would allow me to make a concrete difference to the world around me... Philanthropy anyone?

                  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.

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

                        woohoo... that's an exciting milestone!! You spend the first couple of years getting them to walk and talk, and the rest of the time trying to get them to sit down and be quiet!!

                            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.

                                      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 :-)
