Re: On Humanism and Religion

It's rather a twisted logic to think that morality can only be gained...

Re: On Humanism and Religion

A damn shame! However, to continue with my over-optimistic projections, maybe they can genetic engineer us humans to live a lot longer ;)

Re: On Humanism and Religion

Have faith!! Religion can be eradicated. Think of how much weaker Christianity is in 2015 compared to 1915. As science progresses, as the sheep become more aware of their dwindling numbers, and of...

Re: On Humanism and Religion

Agree that extremism is only one aspect in the case against religion. However, dismissing it away (as you have done) on the basis that there will always be extremists is erroneous thinking. ...

Re: On Humanism and Religion

Re: On Humanism and Religion

Re: On Humanism and Religion

Well I didn't quite say that.

I would agree that Christianity is something in urgent need of phasing out, which fortunately, despite this month's festivities, is happening across Europe and to a...
