A dog may be a man's best friend, but let's not forget that this friend leaves hit cr** all over the place for you to clean up.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
Dave's been known to do that after a few beers.
I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

Humans need no excuse to go to war, the drive is innate to human nature for the survival of the clan. Trading between clans may mitigate the need to compete, but, if that fails, the clan must wage war for essential resources, or be subsumed into another clan. This innate drive is used by rulers to promote wars of survival or acquisition. Countries need to unite a confederacy of clans in a common cause. Religion is merely one way of differentiating "us" from "them". We can always find others, even if we have to invent them: e.g., World War 1 the Germans became "the Hun", depicted as barbarians and savages with no respect for European civilisation and humanitarian values. (For wars of acquisition, the promise of Rape and Pillage is often sufficient - another unpleasant trait in humans.)

This seem to support my point, while we (I) blame religion for most of the wars in history it may be that if religion was not there another excuse would be found and we'd still have a very bloody history.

Oh no I'm afraid I'm a typical human, just have no place for religion of any ilk.

If you deny the GOD exist then there is no point to talking about religion !
I deny the existance of gods because they do not exist. That does not exempt me from talking about religion. Religions is a dangerous out dated concept that needs to be eradicated in order for humans to progress.

Well ... you cannot produce evidence that anything do NOT exist. You can only produce evidence THAT it exists.
