I could care less what you believe, until you force those beliefs onto others. I don't consider them any stupider than the average human being until they do something to make me think otherwise.

Yes, I do. Religion leads to cognitive deficits that cause believers to be less able to distinguish reality and fantasy. It is a social disease that must be eradicated before it destroys humanity. Most of you probably think I'm an ass because of that belief, but it's the truth. Throughout history, religion has been the single biggest cause of human pain and suffering. The moment that anyone thinks that what they believe is the only answer and that everyone else is wrong and will be punished for all eternity, I take issue. Please bring on the arguments that my argument is hypocritical (even though it isn't). I'm advocating skepticism, nothing more. If you truly believe that we, human beings, bags of flesh stuck on a rock hurtling through space, have the answers, then you are hopelessly deluded and cognitively inept. And please, leave your straw men at home this time.
