Doesn't bother me at all. You can belive in anything you want, including God. I'll still applaud people from breaking the mwntally enslaving chains of religion and welcome them to actual free thought where you aren't told what you should believe based on some books arbitrary writings.
Its kinda odd that some people HATE religion, i mean i could understand if they were abused by a priest or something, but otherwise wtf, live and let live. If you want to believe then good for you, if you dont then good for you. People rooting for the demise of religions must have some issues.
Aloha Snack Bar!!!
It's called guilt.
No thanks, don't need the graces of a rapidly declining relic.

Most likely because it isn't a purely subjective thing. If religion went no further than the individual then most wouldn't have a problem with it. But as the OPs article shows, it creeps into all aspects of life. Laws are created and actions taken in the name of religious culture all around the world. Think of the middle east and their way of life. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING that goes on there is based on religion.
Exactly, that's why my comment wasn't about Joe Biden.
Sorry, that was my first thought when you mentioned a rapidly declining relic.
Lol, I'll give you humor points at least.
