my previous post I talked about how i bought the book “The GOD Delusion”

I’ve been reading a little bit today and some of the stuff amazed me.

First let me quote from a letter from the Founder of the Calvary Tabernacle Association in Oklahoma:

Professor Einstein, I believe that every Christian in America will answer you, ‘We will not give up our belief in our God and his son Jesus Christ, but we invite you, if you do not believe in the God of the people of this nation, to go back where you came from.’ I have done everything in my power to be a blessing to Israel, and then you come along and with one statement from your blasphemous tongue, do more to hurt the cause of your people than all the efforts of the Christians who love Israel can do to stamp out anti-Semitism in our land. Professor Einstein, every Christian in America will immediately reply to you, ‘Take your crazy, fallacious theory of evolution and go back to Germany where you came from, or stop trying to break down the faith of a people who gave you a welcome when you were forced to flee your native land.’

Look at the bold statement. Is this how christians should be behaving? I don’t understand, what happened to mercy. By having that thought, wouldn’t that be against your morals?

Yet when you look at it rationally there is no reason why those ideas shouldn’t be open to debate as any other, except that we have agreed somehow between us that they shouldn’t be. – Dawkins

what this means is that people who don’t believe in a god simply don’t questions people who believe in one or a few. people simply just agreed.
I remembered when i used to go by a place that is a church that had a saying about jesus saves you blah blah…i never understood it and i questioned it, my parents told me not to say anything to those people who believe in Jesus. I just accepted that. But now its a different story, I feel like it should be addressed.

You know religions causes the warfare that is happening to this day. these wars are just describing ‘ethnic cleansing‘. This is just another excuse for war.

Feb. 21, 2006, not too long ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in accordance with the Constitution, that a church in New Mexico should be exempt from the law, which everybody else has to obey, against the taking of hallucinogenic drugs. The Faithful members of the Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal believe that they can understand God only by drinking hoasca tea (containing the illegal hallucinogenic drug dimethyltryamine). Remember this, they simply believe that the drug can enhance their understanding.

I agree with Dawkins that Religion, as ever, is the trump card.

Once again, if such people took their stand on the right to free speech, one might reluctantly sympathize. But that isn’t what it is about. ‘The right to be Christian’ seems in this case to mean ‘the right to poke your nose into other people’s private lives’. The legal case in favour of discrimination against homosexuals is being mounted as a counter-suit against alleged religious discrimination! And the law seems to respect this. You can’t get away wtih saying, ‘If you try to stop me from insulting homosexuals it violates my freedom of prejudice.’ But you can get away with saying, ‘It violates my freedom of religion.’ What, when you think about it, is the difference? Yet again, religion trumps all. – Dawkins

Thats self-explanatory…I have more to say. I got that from chapter 1 only. theres more but i don’t want to bored you.
I have chapter 2 to write, but that will be next time
