Wait, the holocaust was because of religion?Child abuse is somehow unique to religious people?
War is only fought for religious reasons?
The holocaust was perpetrated by people who were eugenecists, and who had no religious inclination whatsoever. And their chosen victims weren't singled out based on their religion, but on their group identity. Being Jewish at that time was considered an ethnicity. You'll note that homosexuals also got the Auschwitz treatment, and that certainly wasn't for religious.
Finally -- the bit about child abuse doesn't even make sense.
Maybe im not a very good reader, but I don't recall where I said that wars were only fought over religion, or that child abuse was unique to religion. I doubt that I would respect any organization or group that had such widespread abuse (that doesn't make sense to you??) I also was only mentioning that all of those things were affected/caused in a negative way by religion, and yes, much of the holocaust and other racist acts/movements are at least partly to do with religion.
That was only one part of the reason I don't respect organized religion in response to the post above. I could care less if people are religious/faithful/or anything else. You don't know my beliefs, all I said is that I don't respect most organized religion because of what I have seen from it.

You name all of these things that have no stronger association with religion than they do with anything else, and then claim that because of those things, you don't like religion.
Please explain, in your own words, what the holocaust was and how it was an act committed by religious people or in accordance with religious principles. I think you are 120% cracked out of your head on this, but if you've got an explanation I'm certainly curious to hear it.

evolution still takes place...it takes x amount of years for it to take place. Hence adapting to environmental changes.
Spanish rice you sound like an annihilist (sp).
Ive kind come to the same conclusion in that total existence...whatever it maybe, doesnt matter because there isnt a hard definitive truth. In other words, everything is purely subjective and objectivitiy only exists in "subjective" terms...correct me if im wrong but Ayn Rand speaks mostly on the theory of objectivism in case you were wondering.
sorry dont mean to sound pretentious,...i find this interesting.
