We often hear folks talk about race and religious issues here in the USA, as well as around the world. . There are of course animals and sea creatures, but as for the human race, afaik we are all humans regardless of our color or religion. I dont know of any half human, half animal. The so called science, and defining characteristics of certain races, it only goes so far, as intelligence can be found around the globe. Some guy might have some pictures, and some other stuff to attempt to explain that, there is a difference between how the white race, and the black race think. But to that point, "we all breath air" as the famous actor Anthony Hopkins once said. Now this is not some sort of thing where its the old people who have race issues, both young and old people can be racists. But if one goes back centuries, even thousands of years you will find that even during those times, there were humans out there preaching messages of tolerance of others, regardless of race or religion. Around the world we have folks who believe that certain races, and even certain belief systems can effect a human beings way of life. Now the human mind is really an interesting thing, its capable of making informed decisions when it reaches a certain point. Now there as cases of mental ******ation within some human beings, and we as humans often look to science to help out people who have mental deficiencies. We have religions people, and we have folks who consider themselves atheists. But again, what do these two people have in common? They are both of the human race. And the way the world works, and has worked, is when a Atheist or religious person get into an argument, warfare can and has happened. The human mind can only take so many insults until it reacts.
-Atheists who want religion eliminated, that most likely requires warfare.
-Religious folks who want atheists eliminated, that most likely requires warfare,
-Blacks who want whites eliminated or vs versa, that most likely requires warfare
-Religious folks who want other religious folks eliminated, that most likely requires warfare,
-Atheists who want other Atheists eliminated, that most likely requires warfare.
But for those who cant stand black folks, cant stand whites, cant stand Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, get this, above one can note the words, Atheists, Black, white, religious people, all these types of people united during WW2 to take on what was arguably the most serious threat to freedom that the world has seen.
Where would we be today, had all those allied heroes from WW2, from numerous backgrounds, been fighting with each other as opposed to being united?
Moving this to PU as only alternative for discussion. Such a broad range of topics that it really can't fit into a single forum. RGT is out of the question in my opinion. If the PU mod(s) object please just delete it. Thanks. More of the Kid just trying to toll, IMO.

JJshabado, are you going to delete the part of Zenos post here he labels me as a troll?

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”
― Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion
“All religion, my friend, is simply evolved out of fraud, fear, greed, imagination, and poetry.”
― Edgar Allan Poe
“I'm completely in favor of the
separation of Church and State.
... These two institutions screw us up enough
on their own, so both of them together is
certain death.”
― George Carlin
“Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively, fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature.”
― Emmett F. Fields
“Religion. It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion.”

― Johnny Cash
“One would go mad if one took the Bible seriously; but to take it seriously one must be already mad.”
― Aleister Crowley, Magick: Liber ABA: Book 4
When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called a Religion.”
“With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”
― Steven Weinberg
“The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.”
― Albert Einstein
“If you think God’s there, He is. If you don’t, He isn’t. And if that’s what God’s like, I wouldn't worry about it.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
