  A comment on Conversation: If these guys (and others) are right and religion is delaying human progress, how do we move forward?

  Apr 18 2011: We must first educate those that are willing to learn. Teach them how its affecting the world, war and politics. That will create positive role models in our communities. Due to the biological war fare and lab made dieseases spreading around the world I think there's a lot more skeptics around today than there were before.

• A comment on Talk: Sam Harris: Science can answer moral questions

  Apr 18 2011: In my opinion religion is a source of mind control and was developed to seperate people of different cultures. Every religion thinks they are superior to the other. Religion was misinterpreted as worship of a super being instead of the worship of nature. You only believe because you were brought up to not question just do. This is insane, a couple of years ago I've found a picture of the pope praying for the military and their tankers. Arent the soldiers trained to kill, serve and protect and for what reason? who are you protecting and who are you serving? So is it dismissible for the pope to pray for the military? At the end of the war wouldnt it be a so called SIN? If I kill my so called enemy before they kill me what will my family most likely say God was on my side and it wasnt my time to die but what about my enemies family? they may say something like im going to hell for taking there son or daughter's life but they were trained in the military just like me .....Right?? or Wrong?? There are many ways to live a moral life without dedicating your entire life to beliefs and past customs. What about those that are seperated from the modern world. With no access to computers, books, or schools to mold your creativity and still live a peaceful and a culture enriched life without thinking that they will go to heaven or hell?
