		<description>Mike,
I&#039;ve got to say that&#039;s a very simplistic -- and stereotypical -- view of religion that is not at all representative of the beliefs of any of the religious people I know. Including   more than one ordained person. I&#039;m not saying you won&#039;t get &lt;em&gt;anyone&lt;/em&gt; like that, but to pigeonhole all &#039;religious types&#039; as having that sort of attitude is blinkered, offensive and bigoted. 

If I was being uncharitable, I&#039;d suggest that this type of view is typical of the irrational propaganda being put forward by atheist zealots. But as I&#039;m being charitable, I&#039;ll assume that it&#039;s just &lt;em&gt;your&lt;/em&gt; view, rather than one typical of atheists...!</description>

		<description>I suspect that religious types tend not to be too &#039;questioning&#039; of things around them. &quot;What was that? Created in 7 days you say? - oh, ok.&quot;
I&#039;d also like to suggest that people who don&#039;t question too much of what goes on around them are more likely to be contented. &quot;What was that? My kids hanging around the street corners smoking fags and stabbing people? - oh, ok.&quot;

Ignorance is bliss.</description>

		<description>Yes, and that&#039;s precisely the sort of thing that made me say that not everything done in the name of religion is right. Things like &quot;the crusades&quot;, and burning people at the stake for being Catholic / Protestant would come under this category too. But mostly I&#039;d class them as just being &quot;murderers&quot;.

I&#039;m reminded of the Bill Hicks line: &quot;if they&#039;re so pro-life, how come you don&#039;t see them blockading graveyards and not letting people in?&quot;

But just like the crimes of Nazi Germany does not make today&#039;s Germans guilty, because &lt;em&gt;it wasn&#039;t them&lt;/em&gt;, it&#039;s wrong to tar all theists with the same brush too. If an atheist is found guilty of terrible crimes (and lets face it, I&#039;m sure some have), I wouldn&#039;t seek to use this to declare that all atheists are evil because of their godlessness. I&#039;d assume that the crime is the responsibility of the individual; plenty of theists (and non-theists) are capable of disagreeing with the way other people live their lives without needing to blow anybody up.</description>
