You seem to be only talking about the Judeo-Christian religions, ignoring Buddhism, Deism, and others. And there are plenty of Christians that believe in evolution and the like

Most religious types are old and/or creepy - not to mention that a worrying percentage of those who convey The Lord's messages have been exposed as filthy paedophiles. And how come so many homosexuals work for The Church, when the act is denounced in the cornerstone of Christianity - The Bible?

Ignoring the questionable-at-best generalization about religious types being old/creepy, the homosexuality issue is not absolute throughout Christianity. There are entire denominations in Christianity (I was raised in one) that do not believe that homosexuality is a sin. I would question your "worrying percentage" comment, but any percentage above 0 is worrying enough.

So a load of invisible illogical happenings and promises are declared by a bunch of wierdos and hypocrites, to be lapped up by old ladies, the bereaved and that strange kid at school.

Again, generalizations. Not everybody who is Christian thinks the bible is literally true.

Common sense will always prevail over religion - none of it adds up whatsoever, therefore it remains an inferior existence to preoccupy oneself with magical idealistic fantasy you desperately want to believe is real as opposed to watching horror films and not giving that shit the time of day.

you're assuming that what some people (not discluding myself) think of as common sense will change someone's fundamental beliefs. It won't.


Look, you can believe whatever you want, but when you start thinking that your beliefs make you better than anybody else, ANYBODY else, then you're just like anybody of any religion that think that people who aren't of their religion are inferior. End of story.
