When your belief system is based around a lie (God) you get fucked up consequences like:
- the invention of things that don't exist: souls, heaven, hell, angels, demons, prophets, talking snakes, virgin births, 72 virgins, the list goes on and on and on and on.
- laws that don't make sense: does liquor affect me differently on Sundays?, homosexuals can't marry each other or adopt, don't ask don't tell, marijuana being illegal, there used to be laws against interracial marriage, etc. etc. etc.
- war: MY lie about God is more correct than YOUR lie about God
Stop fucking contributing to this bullshit. The world needs more honesty, not more God.

What do you think happens to us when we die? Why do you have morals if there is no consequence to not having them? Why even bother to stay alive?
And I did not make up those lies, or contribute to them or even agree with them.
And I don't blame god for anything Or the devil. I don't care about the devil or whatever (he could be a metaphor for humanity for all I know) I make my choices not a diety.
Where does morality come from?
By blaming religious groups for causing bad events you are making yrself as bad they are.
It is still the same argument really
"Your god is wrong mine is right"
"There is no god you're wrong and I am right"
You are still not contributing any peace. If I can be accepting of others thoughts and beliefs than I expect the same courtesy from them. I don't go around knockin on doors and preaching but if it comes up I will say what I believe and if people don't like it i shake the dust from my feet and moveon with my life. It is of no concern to me.
