RE: Scray shit...
It's scary because these people have given given up their critical faculties for received wisdom.
This leads to pointless wars, persecution of the 'other', repression of rational thought etc.
e.g.
Allah is the one true God, his law is the only law.
Jehovah is the one true God, his law is the only law.
Work that one out with a pencil!
There is a mountain of evidence for evolution with more accruing daily.
Religion, unfortunately, isn't evidence based, it's faith based.
A religion is just a cult with political power.
Personally, I'd like to see my own 'theory' presented in schools:
We are all candies in a cosmic candy jar being eaten by a giant superbeing, we call this death.
I base this view on revealed wisdom (The giant superbeing spoke to me in a dream).
Prove me wrong!
