Have you asked why atheists protest religion so much, Part III?

It's disgusting. Jones' act may have been "peaceful", but it was overly obvious what the repercussions would be. Jones has the blood of 12 innocent people on his hands, for he is also to blame for their deaths.

Obviously I agree. I'm all for spirituality, but organized religion is one of the biggest mistakes in human history.

Taking religion out of the equation I think the UN is obligated to make a response to these atrocities.

Your points do make me wonder why the people of faith fee so good about themselves, so certain that they, each of them singly and as one of the group collectively, know all that there is to know, that they make better spouses, better parents, better CEOs, better political leaders and, []and here's the one that gets me[] the more humble, being mere servants of a loving God, doing that god's bidding, always. In other words, it is the attitude of superiority that rankles.

I agree, good example. .

You can argue that religious wars have other causes than religion, It's hard to argue that religion isn't the one and only cause of that violence.

Religion is divisive. It's a sad thing really.
