Why Hasn't Religion Disappeared?

Hello All,
Like most of you do as you browse the internet, I find religious people of varying religions trying to refute proven science. This begs the question, why does religion still exist? Shouldn't it have gone the way of the Titanic...down? By the way, I'm going to start calling out pastors at churches I've been to, this week's callout goes to Rev. Bruce Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson, I commuted a long way from [REDACTED] to check out your church and I am appalled by the number of children I saw in the service, surely someone like you has better things to do with your life than spread lies about in the form of an archaic, sexist, and racist religion. Back to why religion needs to die, I added that callout before getting to the main point because they are intertwined, as I said, there were children in that building, some as young as three or four years old, and they are already being indoctrinated into a religion based on archaic beliefs, and it has one Death Star style weakness, it hinges upon the resurrection of Christ, the supposed son of God. I mean seriously, why did God need a teenage virgin to deliver his child, it's almost like the prophet Muhammad marrying a six-year-old girl. It's classifiable as morally and legally dubious and no less than child rape. It's pathetic that grown men and women are still preaching about this and glorifying it, like how the Jehovah's Witnesses are paying daily fines because they are protecting pedophiles. So to close, why is religion still kicking around? I mean seriously, how long does it take for people to see the light and bring down religion? I have no problem with religion's initial existence since it was a springboard for scientific advancement, but at this point, it is about as useful as stairs to nowhere. Also, Protestants, nothing personal, but I dislike your religion on account of sparking the conflict between science and religion, even if said conflict would have later sparked, it may have resulted in religious fundamentalism.

5 Questions Atheists Cannot Answer (Answered)

Hello All,    Sorry I haven't posted in a while, between running and schoolwork I've been busier than normal, so here's a new post. So, SJ Thompson, a religious apologist, specifically Christian, has posted 5 questions for atheists, this post is from May of last year, but I just found it today perusing the black hole of doom, gloom, and depression that is the internet.  So her first question is, " So, why do even individualists know that we ought to help the weak, feed the poor, and be honest, humble, just, cooperative, empathetic, forgiving and loving? Why is it that all societies, regardless of their practices, know what we   ought   to do? Where did we get this moral compass?" My answer is a quote from the Greater Good Magazine run by UC Berkley, " We are so used to empathy that we take it for granted, yet it is essential to human society as we know it. Our morality depends on it: How could anyone be expected to follow the golden rule without the ...

President Trump Shouldn't be In the White House

Hello All,  Would you agree that President Trump is a misogynistic, scientifically illiterate moron who should be nowhere near our nuclear weapons or the White House? He denies climate change despite the overwhelming evidence, and if you look at what the Republican Party is, it's a shell of what it once was under Lincoln. Republicans think that all the other countries are out to get us. Instead,we should just make friends and find our niche in a global economy. Trump has canceled research verifying greenhouse gas cuts. If America wants to remain a superpower without throwing its weight around to get what it wants, then it needs to move away from fossil fuels, every job in the fossil fuel industry could be outsourced to another industry, workers who maintain oil and natural gas pipelines can go into the plumbing industry, or on maintaining the coolant systems on nuclear reactors. Chemists could work on developing bioplastics, managers can be outsourced to a...

Why Impeaching Trump Is a Bad Idea

Hello All,    I'm here to write why I think it would be ill-advised to impeach Trump in the present state of the government, (as of October 25, 2018). The first, and largest problem being that if Trump is impeached, which is unlikely, even after the midterms, as this assumes a Democrat win in the House and Senate, the latter of which will be a harder race for Democrats, is Mike Pence, as a bible-thumper, arch-conservative, it's almost better to wait it out until 2020, because even Republicans are starting to dislike Trump's brand of conservatism, and Pence is further right than Trump on Gay Marriage, Abortion ( on which Trump has no consistent position I can find) and on women's rights, because of Presidential Line of Succession, Pence would take office and become the 46th POTUS, resulting in a far more conservative America that might cause a mass exodus to countries like Canada, The U.K, and the Netherlands. The Second issue is that as there may be a new Speaker of th...
