Re: Gentler, Kinder Christian

Screw religion and faith in any gods as dangerous:

Why?

Say, faith = No Doubt = thousands of years of atrocities in the name of
some god.

Or, say, Occam's Razor: There are an infinite number of universes. We
occupy one that permits life as we know it to arise Versus the infinite
contradictions of religious dogma.

Morality has much more to do with net gain for self and society through
mutually beneficial cooperation than religion, such cooperation having
existed tens of thousands of years before organized religion in
agrarian communities.

We don't need religion to tell us it's best to abide by certain
sensible rules, eg., don't kill, don't steal,..., so that both self and
society benefit.
