Who, in this thread, has argued over the existence of God?

Religion, at least real ones like the Roman Catholic church...

Real ones? On other forums (not here, thankfully) I see Catholics and Protestants both call each other "not legitimate". It seems the Holy Wars of the Reformation have never really ended. I'm not trying to create a whole new argument, or divert this one, but I have to ask what you mean by "real ones"?

...that few of the forum warriors here understand (or want to). To them religion is only something to be denigrated and it's adherents mocked and belittled as backward hicks.

An interesting way to refer to people considering what you say later. Addressing it directly I have to ask what exactly is a "Forum Warrior", and how does that term not apply to yourself.

You just can't rip this extensive social structure away without providing something to take it's place.

Did you miss the part where Skybird agreed with you on that? As for myself, my main point in coming into this conversation was to point out that, to my eyes at least, what we have now is no better than what you're afraid it might be replaced with. Even with that, several people have said that they didn't want to replace religion, but that it does need to be held accountable.

So far nobody want's to talk about that, they just want to continue with the insults and condescension.

The only insult I've seen so far in this thread is you calling people who disagree with you "Forum Warriors".
