Re: If this doesn't cure atheism, I don't know what will
Religion may have been of some use a couple of thousand years ago in an uncivilised world by scaring ignorent people into being a little bit more civilised by threatening them with hell fire. Religion however, is a disease, and as soon as we a rid of it the better it will be for everyone. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, and this is mine.
