That's true Odysseus and I would accept that as a win
If we could get religions to care about people, I wouldn't be so much against them.

Success….I think that our concern needs to lie more with the success
of achieving our goals and less with the doctrine, theology, ritual, dogma, or history of any specific religion. If we can agree to goals like compassion, integrity, honesty, truthfulness, peace, serenity, justice, and related morality, then that is where our efforts should first be expended.
It would be like religious and secular charity organizations, both with food, stopping a short distance from a delivery post to the starving to argue about whether the religion is proper. It simply makes no sense. What makes more sense is to endeavor as to how we might broadly and cooperatively achieve our goals toward what is most important in life.

Gome, the last part had me smiling even though it's a sad truth
They will still be able to worship their antiquated idea of god just like those now turning to the Norse and Greek gods and people will let them. And they won't appreciate it.

SuccessWarrior - here is the sad truth about when the day comes that
Christians are in the minority.
They will be treated so much better than they themselves treat minorities. As they go about their lives, practising their religions and having the freedoms to do so. As they enjoy the hard won rights that protect them from having the religious wills of others imposed upon them, they will even then not get it..... and probably spend their days bitching about how unfairly they are being treated.

Faholo, thank you.
If your statement were true, there would be a lot less killing in this world. If all believers were like you, I wouldn't have to advocate the removal of religion from our world.

I do not agree with your assumations SuccessWarrior, but
I do support your right to believe as you do. Do what your heart tells you to do and fear not the belief of others or attacks of others. Our world is large enough for all believers! Keep writing!
