Religion thread #58,934

[Betonov]

The reason organized religion merits outright hostility is that, unlike belief in Russell's teapot, religion is powerful, influential, tax-exempt and systematically passed on to children too young to defend themselves. Children are not compelled to spend their formative years memorizing loony books about teapots. Government-subsidized schools don't exclude children whose parents prefer the wrong shape of teapot. Teapot-believers don't stone teapot-unbelievers, teapot-apostates, teapot-heretics and teapot-blasphemers to death. Mothers don't warn their sons off marrying teapot-shiksas whose parents believe in three teapots rather than one. People who put the milk in first don't kneecap those who put the tea in first.

Good ol' Dawkins

My guess is devote christian read something he didn't like, and this thread is his kneejerk reaction. The typo's, combined with the choice of words in the post title leads me to think he was upset, and mashed the post out in a hurry, which would support my theory that this thread was started as an emotional kneejerk reaction to something he read but didn't like.

Glossing down a few posts... and....

/facepalm

Christan's vs atheists boxing match, round 934,345,888, give or take a few thousand rounds of this BS being plastered on internet forums for freaking years. I used to get into these, but nowadays i fallback on the shoes's metaphore and leave it at that.
