fuck out of here with your bleeding heart bullshit, Veritas
there's no such thing as vicarious redemption

And this perfectly explains your intense hatred for religion. It's understandable, just as much so as the person who had a positive religious experience and now is too blind to acknowledge any of its faults. I think V's whole point in this thread is that people consistently quote untrue things about Christianity, a point that you further drive home if you say that Christianity is just about brainwashing and teaching that people are evil and must be killed in the name of said religion. Those statements do not describe even a small percentage of Christians in the world at all. It basically covers extremists and mental cases.

Veritas, can we agree that if there has been even one innocent death caused by religion in all of history than that is too many?

Some dude accidently killed himself the other day trying to launch fireworks off of his head. That however doesn't mean that fireworks aren't fun to watch.

Think about the state the world would be in if everybody believed there were ZERO consequences for their actions. Any religion that keeps a person somewhat "in-check" for fear of consequences should be welcomed in society. Nobody wants to talk about how fear of "God's wrath" can be all that stop a lot of people from killing, raping and destroying.

Think about it.
