Attention atheist triathletes (Page 3)

In my mind there has not been a more detrimental, evil and misguided movement in the history of man than religion.

I also get very angry when educated, well-reasoned people make excuses for those of faith and their actions. That "free-pass," that desire not to be ostersized by this religious country has contributed to many of our current fundamentalist issues like Iraq and is furthering an intolerant society that will not accept you, no matter how understanding of their faith and regardless of your tolerance for their point of view.

Teaching abstinence instead of sexual education is a "mild" example of what happens when people let religious zealots make decisions for them in the name of god. Teen pregnancy and disease is higher than ever - and I blame Christianity. Is this desire to have someone with all the answers tell you what to do so great that you won't open your own eyes? that this abstinence only education is casing your children to spend the rest of their life living with sexually transmitted diseases? That your kids are having abortions because of your misguided faith?

Jesus is not going to make everything all right. Take some responsibility, and instead of giving your money to these charlatans, why don't you donate to a more reasonable charity that will not keep building bigger churches, driving bigger cars and funding more extravagant congregations

Pat Robinson praying nightly on TV for more "openings" on the Supreme Court - in effect praying for Justices to die is another is what faith is really about. It's about intolerance and recruitment. It's not ok, it's stupid and destructive and a lie and scared people ignore these things done in their gods name as long as they think they themselves are going to get into heaven.

It's disgusting.
