Religion is a product of evolution

[Ozwest]

It is natural that human-kind would seek answers to the un-known.

Especially when the elements were harsh.

Now-a-days, I rely on History and Science, to formulate my opinions.

I'm an atheist that worships nothing. I don't even follow humanism or any of that.

Are you a statist?

 

[Ozwest]

Are you a statist?

What is your Hypothesis?

Why would a atheist be a statist?

Help me draw a conclusion.

Atheists are human to.

Religion was created the first time someone in a tribe asked out loud about the stars or the meaning of life or something like that. Someone else who wanted to feel important took a guess at it and became known as the wise one. The first thing that happened after that is it went to his head and he began to manipulate the rest of the tribe to his advantage.

Another contends that religion benefited our ancestors. Rather than being a by-product of other brain functions, it is an adaptation in its own right. In this explanation, natural selection slowly purged human populations of the non-religious.

Sometimes not so slowly...

In my opinion it's just the organized part that gives religion a bad name. Just like heavy metal listeners are likely to cause more problems when they're all together at a concert, you get a few devout people together eating moldy bread and you've got a situation. God knows that damned pope has always been a trouble maker.

Oh, you said no flames, didn't you yongrel? Sorry...

A good cleansing is invaluable.

How about the Inquisition?

Communists are most usually atheists. Correct? "opiate of the masses" and all that.

Communists "worship" the "state", party and various, assorted "personality" cults. Marx, Lenin. Stalin. Mao, Minh, Kim, Castro, Che, etc., etc. etc. as Gods.

So far, so good?

I'm a Capitalist. Way beyond your dreams probably.

Did I claim that you were otherwise? Me too, BTW. And I very seriously doubt THAT.

This conversation will go NO WHERE if you refuse to answer the questions. YOU asked ME for an hypothesis, and I am building it FOR YOU.

If you've NOW changed your mind, that's perfectly OK with me.

Allright, but being independently minded, I'll put my 2 cents worth in.

Unless you're running out of steam.

But that's O.K.

NOT running out of steam, just patience and BULLSHIT tolerance.

Your frequent "cheap shot" injection posts, prematurely jumping to ERRONEOUS "cutesy ( 2 cents worth in )" conclusions, mindless bogus petty "smokescreen" distractions, petty false accusations, etc. is NOT helpful in ANY WAY.

Serious conversation or just more extraneous BULLSHIT! Your choice! You can have one OR the other, but not BOTH! Otherwise you're just wasting both of our times, and I'm, quite frankly, just not that interested. < YAWN! >

Yep, you're the standard issue "run of the mill "atheist, all right.

Let me know your decision, please.

If I'm a standard atheist, who the fuck are you?

Don't insult me , otherwise you will be lumped with the cross signing guilt monsters.

I'll have your women!

C'mon mate,

We are not so different.

Stop being a product of your environment.

Truth Warrior,

You are a good representative for your side.

Unlike others.
