Atheists & Agnostics

god IS the reason people went around raping and killing and burning. But we all know that. And I am also sure that people who lived before being exposed to the "good book" did their share of raping, killing, and burning. Theoretically, things are better now. We have laws now around the world that constrain such behavior, however ineffectively.

But we certainly see it doesn't take much to cause a religious flareup to claim many lives.

Thanks for your comment. My friend has published some wonderful writings over the last many months, and I am not about to disconnect with him because he may be religious or said something silly. Prior to his comment, he and I traded a few PM's about a meme he had published. It was about a couple of members of a family helping out members of the first responders with the tag, "My faith is restored." I questioned if he meant faith in humanity or faith in god. He eventually replied they are the same thing, and the next day he published the comment I noted in the OP.
