10. Your last two sentences state that without religion, good morals and ethics cannot survive. WTF???
The role of religion, therefore, is the codification and symbolization of ethical values. Without it, these ways to live may not persist generation to generation. Therefore, religion, properly understood, is important in the struggle for human survival.


Without religion, ethical values may not survive? What nonsense.

Religion, "properly understood,..."? If only we could all see it through YOUR rose colored glasses. Are you frikking serious?


Important for human survival? Seen from the non-believers POV, religion IS the problem, not solution.



While your opinion is welcome here, no one needs to agree with it to have "serious conversation" about it. I'm sure that my comments, along with other dissenters will be ignored by you and written off as just more "mean atheist" stuff. Thats been your MO since you arrived here.
