50. BS. Let's call religion what it is: superstition.
Edited on Sun Nov-09-08 03:46 PM by stopbush
There's nothing wrong with being intolerant of superstition when it asserts that it is fact based and tries to impose itself on people's lives.

The simple fact - FACT! - is that religionists have no more right to assert themselves and their fantasy based beliefs in the public square to determine matters like gay marriage than do astrologers and psychics. They are ALL residents of the same world of make believe.

It's superstition. It's make believe created by Bronze Aged, fearful and ignorant (not stupid) people. It's BULLSHIT.
