1. We'd be better off without Religion

"To me conformity and group thinking are bigger sins than believing in imaginary beings in organized religions. It is self defeating to turn ourselves into what we detest in order to win"

I think that is the best statement said in this thread so far. The real problem I have is not with atheism, as I have no particular faith or belief in God, but rather this attack on all things supernatural as things to be derided and hated.

The second speaker on behalf of religion, who's name I never fully caught, made the point that 'It's not what you believe, but how you live your life.' In the same vein I could say, 'It's not always the idea you present, but the way you present it.' And for a person espousing reason, I have always found Dawkins to be far too Unreasonable to do so.

If one is truly to live without religion or God then I suggest simply doing so, in the best manner you can.

Always fear the Certain.
