What, religion again ??

Lets rather talk about ingrown toenails. If you want I can show you a picture of mine

About religion ??

I'm somewhere between August and Skybird.
I can't stand religion in it's current state. When I say I'm an atheist I simply say: not convinced. I won't go yelling in peoples faces: there is no god !!!. Just that there is no god of the Bible or Quran.
I'll find the truth soon enough. Until then I'll enjoy the earthly pleasures but without ruining some other blokes life. A saint and a sinner

What is the current state? For me, religion is a business and institutionalized.

I agree, it has become a tool to dissuade or persuade a few/many. I don't know.

I have other thoughts and opinions on the institution of religion. That's for a different thread.

We need religion because apparently there's a ton of christians whom, without the threat of hell, think it would be a OK to go totally fécking evil.

What do the Muslims think? Do we just want to single out the Christians on this?

I think the context was god of the bible, so I'm not going to discuss about muslims this time. The thing I wrote was a quote from the comments of this video:

Matt Dillahunty explains the immoral moral compass of the christian religion

I had to add one more thing on your quote here:

This is the very essence of this thread started by Yubba who is deemed a crack. The convention added God after much debate. For what purpose did the DNC add God into the Convention?

I guess because they didn't want it to become the story of the convention and overshadow any messaging. As usual they messed it up.

I'm no fan of the hyper-intensive religious nature of US politics, but I don't think you make headway with the average voter by making a point of removing mentions of deities.
