So our society can keep moving forward with out being held down by religious nut jobs
What do you want society to move toward?
A better world? Is perfection possible? Do you feel you have the necessary control over your life and the world to do it? When you've done it, then what? Wait, why did you do it again?
There have been many admissions in this thread that religion existing helps society to function effectively. Now, "nut jobs" are holding everyone back.
You and your
friends (or fellow aware material and chemicals) are not consistent, in anything. Your mindset and especially your behavior.
We, you and I, are specially created beings, created for a purpose, but imperfect. This explains my thoughts and acts. What explains yours?
