Everyone is entitled to his own belief
That's what I tried to say from the first place.. But you don't want to agree with, you just love drama and attention.
I never talk about killing people, so let's cross that bridge when we come to it.
So is religions in general. I swear I hate to do this, to defend religion, but religion isn't really about killing, at least I can talk about Christianity, I never ever read anything like that, it's quite the opposite to be honest. Sure you can find anything from their books to criticize.
The principle that everyone can believe in what they want to is philosophically good. But it's very problematic when there are people who believe the most absurd things. And in those cases I think they should "have the right" to believe, but we should be trying to reason with them and point out the errors in their logic.
So what Martin? Humans are dangerous with or without these books, the greed, the hate are all in human's nature. I know science can change this (Psychology), but the main problem is not religion who is teaching them crimes, it's their education and add to that the nurture and their psychology that starts building their character from the age -9 months!
No, it's the same thing. What I don't get is how you're trying to carve out a niche for religion to say that this is some kind of unique type of belief that we have to respect, whereas other kinds of belief (including what Seven made up) are different. Belief is belief.
It would be one thing if people believed in god without any discernible effects to them. A purely philosophical thing. But people turn to religion for advice on how to live their lives (and while you may argue that this strictly has nothing to do with god), it's because of the god dude that people are convinced this particular set of rules are The Right Way. So while people believe in god and that's completely abstract, this whole religion business very much guides their actions.
This is exactly where we agree! If you noticed, at first I tried to say everyone is free to believe in God's existence or evolution or neither of them.
One should not take orders from book, that's where you (a religionist) become an idiot. I look at this religion thing philosophically, I would wish If everyone did the same instead of letting those books control their life, but they are free to believe the way they want even if it is wrong, if they do something wrong, we have law that can stop them. Anyway this is going way off topic, but I guess we understood each others points here.
