I daresay the last line of this post is evidence of that...

"Common-sensical" morals? Are you serious? You obviously have no children nor do you remember you childhood. Lieing, cheating, hitting and taunting sound familiar. No? How about that child who is not even old enough to speak yet who has cookies all over his face and hands "did you eat any cookies?" and what is his answer *nods head no innocently*.

So, you are implying that men/women can never progress beyond the intellectual or moral level of children without the "help" of religion? Have you always held such a view?
I cannot seem to summon up this level of self-loathing. I don't understand it. :shrug:

No difference if there was no religion? Yeah right and geeks would rule the world then right? World peace? This would be a place just like your friend darwin describes, a place where the strongest survives and you geeks get trampled, again!

Geeks

If it was'nt for religion there are millions of us that would still be robbing, stealing, swindling, shooting and killing people like you, just to (what we believed to be living) survive.

Well, that might apply to
you! It does not apply to me.
Please don't paint the whole of the human race with the broad brush of irrationality. It smacks of arrogance.

No matter what you think or how you feel I know the difference that God has made in my life. And following the path is the most difficult task that any person could ever undertake because it requires action against all that we know and desire. I don't care to change your opinions, please don't! But don't drag others down with you!

Well, I'm happy for you. My problem lies in the "action against all that we know" part, for obvious reasons.
And, of course, I am of the opinion that it is
your assertions that are dragging men down. I do not wish to be subjugated to an alleged entity whose existence is outside of existence (?). I don't get that, either.
Have a Nice Day!
