2: live like ignorant rednecks and pollute the world in the belief that we're going to a better place soon?
Everyone in the world does this and you dont need to be religious for this broad generalization to apply to you I know plenty of Atheists who pollute so again I fail to grasp the logic of this argument , religious people are not solely responsible for pollution.[/quote]

3: let our loved ones die while we pray, instead of taking them to a certified doctor?
Your quoting from a known cult "Jehovah's witnesses and yes they are known for this type of stupidity which is why any true christian shuns them.
again a broad sweeping statement about all religions when in fact it applies to less then 1%.

Quote:
4: oppose some forms of science, 'cause we believe they are sins?
Just as scientists oppose religion because they believe these is no proof or that the rest of us suffer from a lack of education on evolution? Again this so called example is meaningless.

Quote:
5: are delusional if we talk to things that doesn't exist?
Kind of like how anyone who used to think the world was not flat was thought to be delusional or possessed? Through time, logic and investigation it was in fact proven the world was not flat. Again this argument fails to implement even the most basic amount of logic.

Quote:
6: aren't supposed to follow a set of rules, that is 2000 years old and with little relevance today?
Religion is no more irrelevant then many scientific facts that were discovered by Newton, Magellan, DaVinci or Einstein hundreds of years ago?
As I said before this argument in my mind is ill thought out and comes across as nothing more then an attempt to derail a legitimate thread with meaningless drivel.
