If you have over 500 target locator kills and 90% of your firefight matchmaking games are Gruntpocalypse, you are a -blam!- loser.

What did religion ever do to you?
Propagated thousands of lies that have led to billions of lives lost thanks to mindless wars in the name of something that doesn't exist.
To say you hate religion is to say you hate literally billions of people because they have a belief system in a monotheistic or polytheistic God or deity, which they claim usually tells their people to be good, peace loving and cooperable with others.
Then why are there so many Bible thumpers out there who are filled with gluttony waiting to tell me I have my place in Hell? By the way, hating religion does not mean you hate people who practice religion. That's a fallacy.
Now if you're going to say you hate religion because of the crusades, holocaust or even 9/11 first you have to realise that all of these events were influenced by a warped and twisted version of pure religion. For example Jesus Christ preached "don't kill people" then the Catholic church initiates the slaughter of millions of Arabs and Muslims. Now who do you think was being rediculous out of those two?
Anyone who causes any violence in the name of Jesus Christ. That means both of them.
Not only that but never use war as an insentive to attack the religious. Stalin, Hitler, Ghengis Khan and other dictators were all Atheist and they killed several million each, more than all religious wars combined.
History begs to differ. None of them killed millions in the name of Atheism. Nice try.
I never understand why Atheism and Religion are always at odds with each other. "Oh no the Christian tried to convert me! Hate crime!"
Because Christians and any other devoted religious person cannot handle the fact that they are believing a lie. That religion was invented by man in order to explain what had no answer. How old did Genesis say the earth was? 4,000 years old? Do you believe that? That's why Atheists don't like stupid theists who only rely on a book that has no author and has been interpreted thousands of ways through thousands of years. We're all atheists in some way. In the words of Richard Dawkins, "Some just take it one God further."
Did you ever think that they were trying to look out for your best interests? By to trying save you from what they think is eternal death? I'd be pretty flattered if someone tried to do that for me.
I wouldn't. Do you believe that when you die you will have 72 vigins waiting for you? If someone came out in the street and said you'd have everything you ever wanted and all you had to do was devote your life praying to an orange in the sky that might not even exist? Has there ever been any person that's come back from the dead to tell you Heaven is real? Challenge what is already established. That's why science is fact and religion is fiction. Science is always changing and challenging accepted methods. Religion never moves forward and blindly accepts what has been written as truth with no verification whatsoever.
Both sides need to relax. Way i see it science tries to answer the "how" of the universe while religion tries to answer the "why" mainly with some of the "how".
No, religion tries to explain how, and fails. It is not based on fact but rather perception, man's perception on how things must have happened. In no way should you try to say religion has any ground as a LOGICAL explanation to how things work. Does God make a basketball team win a game, or does the players' combined effort?
Don't think people are educated on the matter because they skimmed through a few pages of "The God Delusion".
Three pages of The God Delusion make more sense than the entire Bible combined.
