The harm caused by religious belief makes it my duty to ridicule ridiculous beliefs.



Actually, I do:

Or what? You'll prove the god you believe in was involved?
Would everyone please just ignore the troll above, if not this thread that was started with such good intentions will get closed because some troll can't stop himself from making an ass of themselves ..... opps did I say that outloud?

Its not religion itself, its the power structure behind it that does the harm.
Some of it comes from religion itself.

Venom? Funny, coming from someone who believes in a book that says all those who don't believe in it are stupid and evil - and yet justifies genocide.

Not trolling. Actual, real people worked to get those miners out safely. No magical beings zapped them into safety.

17. Can you imagine? I can't.
That fact that they rescued from half a mile underground is incredible. The fact that they survived for over two weeks down there with no idea that they'd ever be rescued is unbelievable - I don't know that I'd have the strength to do it.

Congrats and a job well done to the miners and everyone involved in their rescue!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, please...

We can't close now all threads just because ONE person says something we feel insulting or expresses himself in a completely inappropriate time and place. Let's be reasonable. You can use the ignore feature in your profile.

Please return to the OP original subject - the rescue of the Chilean miners. This thread is NOT a debate on religion!

The Chilean miners are shining example of human endurance and strength. Nothing short of a miracle!
: to their rescuers for not giving up.

I'm sorry-- here's what I thought you were saying "this is my thread, and I am therefore the arbiter of which direction the thread goes, and if it goes in a direction I don't like, I have the right to close it." It seemed like a pretty clear statement to me, did I get it wrong?

This is a public forum, and all threads are "public property" (or, more accurately, the property of the dude that owns Mobileread) as soon as they are made. If everyone was allowed to decide they they no longer liked what people were saying in "their" thread and could close it down, I'm sure this site would have died off years ago.
