It's easy to point out many otherwise "clever" people who are perhaps not very "wise".Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Religion fulfils a need within the human psyche to remain a child. To be provided for, to be guided, to be overseen and protected, even to be forgiven when we do wrong, but most of all to be unconditionally loved by that provider.Comment

Anyway the problem I have with Bible quotations (which you have used liberally NAT) is that intellectually if I am to believe what's in there, then I can't complain if a Muslim fundamentalist decides he needs to kill me because his Holy Book says so.
I don't buy the argument that the Bible is older and therefore more "correct".
I think they are all texts written by the well-meaning (but generally poorly educated even for their time - esp. the New Testament).
To take any guidance from any "holy" book is tantamount to supending your individuality and autonomy to think for yourself as a rational human being and listen to the ramblings of some perhaps not very balanced historical nutters.Hard Brexit now!

Being a social pariah tends to cock up your scientific credibility (and funding).
Until fairly recently having the temerity to question the Christian Church's view of the world was a sure fire route to at the least being ostracised and sidelined professionally and slightly further back to being tortured and brutally murdered.
I wonder just how many people have been slaughtered over the years in the name of Christ let alone in the names of all of the other gods that people believe in........Comment
