    Oh boy, you ARE one of those people. Lovely. This is like trying to talk to Mister D about black people. You think religion is part of peoples DNA. Do you think atheists are just "God deniers"? LOL
    Sorry--but I do not accept the idea that being intolerant of intolerance is THE SAME THING as being intolerant of anything else.

    What about them? You don't think black people are black people because of their genes?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Sorry, but getting all your opinions about humanity from a religious book is not logical or rational.

    Plenty of reasons.

    Then what's with the suggestion that religion is in people's dna?

    Science taught us that there is no God? lol What bubble?

    I don't but go ahead and explain why it's not rational

    Right. And we can chalk it up to a general human condition.

    Why is it that so many Internet atheists understand neither science or the religions they hate?
