THIS IS another Crusade 1075

Brash

So what is it's purpose?

(Religion is not designed to answer questions about HOW the universe works, but why it is that way.

So, what does science tell us about why? )

As usual Bash, you are all angry bluff and bluster, but no brains to back it up.

Is there ANY great Athiest civilization in history.

There's your answer. All human societies found belief in spiritual values as a foundation to ethical behaviour was essential, as useful as a military, or an economy.

Of course, as a man who advocates killing unarmed wounded in cold-blood, you clearly don't have much truck with ethical systems.

Perhaps you best go blow something up.

Now why does it not surprise anyone that Bash's choice is a Hollywood fantasy called 'The FORCE'!? B^D

Bash Bash Bash.. Using the force

What did you expect, Darth Vader to off you with a light Saber! B^D

All you demonstrate is that you are a bit simpleminded.

Children expect God to save them by plucking them from a flood or fire, adult faith is not based on such peurile notions.

Humans have observed for centuries that avalanches fall on Churches full of believers as often as they do on pubs.. but faith persists, through centuries.. because humans find it useful.. ..clearly there is a point here that YOU are missing. B^)

Of course you can crash about declaring that everyone in all the civilizations ON WHOSE BACKS YOU RIDE, were cretins...

But it's more logical to note that you are.

You are both fools, but you seem to be edging him out as the bigger fool.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!

Communism and Fascism were the two political systems MOST DOGMATICALLY OPPOSED To RELIGION! Naturally they were defeated by the Nation which is so religious it has "In God We Trust" inscribed on all it's money!

Well Done Bash.. You have proven that societies with religion outperform and outlast the few who try to exist without it!

It's clear from your examples that God doesn't favour the Godless! B^)

They have the oil on which your agriculture depends.

There is no 'the hole is in your end of the boat' anymore, Bash.

It's One World.

You only make absolute statements about unprovable matters, everything else you insinuate.

How many of the Indonesians, at 200 Million the largest Muslim nation, are living in mud huts and cardboard boxes, Bash?

Didn't your ancestors live in Mud huts, Bash, before Judeao Christian civilization led them slowly to prosperity?

Unlike you, At least the Muslims show signs of evolving!

Oh, you do know that Kangarooistan is an agent provocateur, don't you? A western fake designed to wind up thick-heads like you! B^)
