"Religion poisons everything" - Christopher Hitchens

You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong you lack empathy, not religion.

Religion is just another way of controlling people you don’t have to go to church to prove you’re a Christian the way you live your life speaks much louder.

Brainwashed against their own self-interest, just like women & POC voting republican. People with faith in g*d have no faith in themselves and therefore can never know themselves. Knowledge of self = self love = love for all

Even some theologians say that we are BORN with an innate knowledge of good and evil, decency and antisocial behaviour, we don't need the knowledge of good and evil programmed into us to make us acceptable, etc.

My cousin seems to have gone back for seconds SEVERAL times. She only considers voting for candidates who are signed, sealed, certified Christian when the WORLD doesn't regard faith as valid criteria.

I learned to dislike church (and some people) at an early age. A Sunday School teacher was displeased when I colored Easter lilies purple. She made sure everyone knew I only came to church on holidays. I clearly remember her glaring look of distain. That experience taught me that some people are not nice, even though they pretended to be. These types belong are members of The Christian Liars Club.
