[QUOTE=Warhol;23742529]dude, you're sitting there arguing that religion has NEVER done good. That's just ignorant and a generalisation[/QUOTE]
No, I'm not. I did say I've never personally witnessed the good myself, I didn't say it doesn't happen.
All the good and all the bad that's ever been done in the name of religion is simply a result of human nature anyway, which is why I think religion is useless. It'd all still exist with or without religion, but in [b][i]THIS CASE SPECIFICALLY[/i][/b], because this family was under the influence of religion, they entrusted a person of religious authority to [i]dunk their baby's head [u][b]under water[/b][/u][/i] in a useless ritual that cost the baby its life. In any other case they would have been protective of their baby and he'd still be alive.
On another note: the parents should have taken their child from the idiot and saved its life themselves, but we all know that this their ritual shouldn't be interrupted.

coming from a militant atheist like you who thinks this incident was religion's fault, that statement is laughable

Which is where you come in, right? You've got a completely unbiased, widened view of all subjects ever discussed on this forum.

no, I've never said that. everyone is biased.
all I've said in this thread that blaming religion on this and being a militant atheist about it is stupid

explain how religion was at fault here. the hundreds of millions of other people who were baptized drowned too, right?
when a baby goes in a pool and drowns it's OBVIOUSLY the pool's fault isn't it.. it couldn't possibly be the negligent caretaker's fault

Religion kills babies.
Hang on - the other day someone died in a car crash. Now, if cars had NEVER been invented, this wouldn't have happened.
Therefore, cars should not exist?
I honestly don't think religion is a problem itself, it just has to.. Change, evolve.

For ever person killed by religion, there's another saved by it.
For every non-religious death, there's a secular life saving.

It takes 21km to get to a place where there is something other than fast food for me. You will not see me, or anyone walking 21km on foot to get a decent meal, game, or to meet up with friends.

it reminds me of that episode in lost where they put sayid in the water and they have to for a certain amount of time and end up drowning him...
except he came back to life and killed a bunch of people... I doubt the baby will do that...
note: during baptism ur [B]NOT SUPPOSED TO PUT THE BABY"S HEAD UNDERWATER YOU DUMB FUCK[/B]

Transport is a need.
Down to our very basic instincts, no, it's not. We have legs for a reason

The way we live today we need transports though, you don't produce your own food for example.
