    A lot of atheist would interpret it to mean that they’re the righteous ones, without realizing that they’ve been religious the whole time as well.

    Don’t need no steenking religion if you’re where you already HAVE the answers, right? It would make more sense if the sign mentioned the absence of politics.

    I was reading about the Crimean War the other day and discovered it began as the result of a dispute between Catholics and Orthodox in the Holy Land. Only, the churches had patched up their differences before the nations decided they still needed to have a war. They still got blamed.

    from wiki “Religious War”: Some historians argue that what is termed “religious wars” is a largely “Western dichotomy” and a modern invention from the past few centuries, arguing that all wars that are classed as “religious” have secular…. ramifications.5 (Economic, political, ethnic….)

    As I’ve said before, it’s hard to see any argument of “my god can beat your god” as having a point, since faith (including religious faith) is to believe in something without evidence. Why would any “all loving” god give equally vague instructions to almost all religious faiths, and watch his “children” develop so much hatred against each other over which “god” is correct?

    The Church Triumphant resides in the eternal heavenly kingdom. We are in the Chuch militant on earth, constantly at war with evil while the souls in purgatory are in the Church suffering.

    The Body of Christ, the Church, continues in heaven. Thanks be to God.

    It has been observed that the more adamantly one believes in their religion, the more likely they are to hate those who don’t, thus in a stroke, denying one of the main tenets of said religion.

    My favorite line from Dan Brown’s Origin,

    “By a show of hands, how many of you believe in any of the following ancient gods: Apollo? Zeus? Vulcan?….Not a single one of you? Okay, so it appears we are all atheists with respect to those gods

    Right wing religious extremism from the big 3 religions is at the root of ALL of humankind’s problems. It is the source of division, hate, and greed of all kinds that throttles nearly our capacity for advancement as a species. We need to treat this as a mental disease, why act in direct opposition of the peaceful tenets they teach unless you have a mental problem?

    Back when I was a productive member of society, I had a hard rule, “I don’t discuss religion or politics.” I would recite that often enough to get the message across.

    Religion per se isn’t a problem. Religion is just a symptom of the real, underlying problem, namely faith — the mindset that deludes people into thinking that they can somehow or other “know” things without a shred of supporting evidence, and frequently in the face of considerable evidence to the contrary. Faith gives us not only religion but also homeopathy, astrology, objectivism, ufology, conspiracy theories, climate-change denial, false accusations of ritual satanic child abuse, anti-vax movements, a host of superstitions, personality cults, jingoism, imperialism, racism, quackery, Chinese traditional “medicine”, feng shui, and the insidious brain parasite that leads people to endlessly obsess over anyone named Kardashian.

    Faith is humanity’s all-time, blue-ribbon, gold-medal, undisputed, undefeated, heavyweight world-champion worst method EVER of making decisions! Nobody ever uses faith for anything that can be tested or measured or that really matters in real life.

    The priest class, needless to say, praises faith to the skies, because their paychecks depend on suckers continuing to fall for it. Religious believers are the victims in a huge, accurately named confidence game.

    Don’t believe me? Test it for yourself. The difference between education and indoctrination is whether the person at the front of the room welcomes questions from the audience. Try it the next time your minister is in the middle of a sermon.

    Other than all the pro-/anti- religious/atheist comments I read here, in my real life no one ever discusses or pressures me about such matters. Live and let live – most people don’t care either way.

    Let’s see what the Bible says:

    Rev 22:1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

    2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.…

    22. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

    So, ummm…. This cartoon is 100% straight Christian orthodoxy.
