I am not asking Dawkins , Hitchens or Voltaire what they think . I know it already . I am asking you .
I asked simple questions regarding certain events , so please would you answer them .
Here is what I said to remind you :-

That's rather a sweeping comment to make .
I was on Broadway yesterday looking at the banner commemorating the Accrington Pals who fought in WW1 .
In what way would you say that religion was to blame for WW! ?
Going forward in time , in what way would you say that religion
was to blame for WW2 ?
The world is undergoing serious financial problems , but how would you say that religion is to blame for them ?
At the moment with the disastrous weather in much of the south of England many are saying that it is part of the problem caused by global warming . How would you say that global warming is to be blamed on religion ?
A more personal problem I have is regarding your use of the word "religion" .
What exactly do you mean by "religion" ? |
Sorry,been getting grief off our peg for spending all my time on here
I really don't want to get into a debate about religion,but since you ask:
Firstly, I believe "religion is a crutch" also a ideology/tool set up with a sole purpose to divide folk.
The causes of WW1 are complicated,to blame one specific thing (like religion) may seem unfair, however we have to lay blame where blame is due.
On top of most of our current problems evolving from WW1 and WW2,(I also believe)“the First World War was wholly Christian in origin” and that opposition came from Socialists who were “anti-Christian.”-Bertrand Russell.
All the other things (WW2 (not global warming,you got me there
) are pretty much a knock/flow on from WW1.
For eample,World war one helped cause the russian revolution,Which (again,I believe) was the main reason for WW2.
I hope this goes some way to answering your questions JCB.
You may think i'm a “Richard cranium” ,but try not to hate me too much (that goes for you too "grand wizard) (it's not the church going way).
