I'm not against religion.I just don't think that it has the truth of how and why we are here.I think that there is a higher power in the universe but I don't believe man has been able to come up with what it is.I am leery of taking as the truth anything that was taken as fact without any skeptical research or independent thought.I think we greatly simplify to be able to grasp what is probably beyond our understanding.

Religion and upbringing is the reason I was not running the streets killing people 25 years ago.

Today lack of religion and family values is the reason for the high crime rate in the inner cities.

Today Religion in the inner city black churches only promote racism and hatred towards whites....most should be investigated and shut down.

Example Obama's pastor Rev'rin wright.

Combine that with the fact that most of the black race has only been civilized about 200 years and you have a recipe for wild disaster.

Religion has always been about control why you think the English brought the foreign religion of Christianity to England ?....as a way to control the money and populous.

My self I'd take religion over socialism any day.

Ole jOe don't pull many punches.

But I'm afraid I can't agree here.

He's waaay too optimistic.

Joe, I think religion got the blacks through the vigilante violence, enslavement, lynching and impoverishment for generations as it did whites as their masters. Turner and Brown aside, they never sought retribution.

Your prediction of a "recipe for wild disaster," however, is close to current writing that the American love affair with guns is because they are terrified that those who were subjugated will seek revenge. Do you think it will happen?

In spite of an imploding economy, white Americans becoming a minority, a lunatic far right and survivalist cults, I don't think so. But still James Baldwin said the film Birth of a Nation "is really an elaborate justification of mass murder."

And now, Joe.

"... Even in extreme old age, intelligent people are less likely to believe, the researchers found - and the reasons why people with high IQs shun religion may not be as simple as previously thought."

This research thus seems conclusive:

Men like Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Lincoln, were all religious idiots.

Men like Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Castro were all genius atheists.

Then, there's Burger King...

Ah, so it's not the foul mouthed bigot. Seems to lean more towards factless emotion based pot stirring. If religion is going to be linked with trivial secular (sorry to snip out the talking points race play) justifications, maybe it could be thought of as the basis of the Constitution of a great nation.
