        I mean I got more, it’s just the first that came to mind.

        "As I discuss in my book “The blind watchmaker” and the much more popular “the god delusion” we need to defend our planet against a lack of understanding of the propagation of culture. As well as religion in general.

        My fellow Earthicans, as I discuss in my book “Earth in the Balance,” and the much more popular “Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth,” we need to defend our planet against pollution. As well as dark wizards.

        He didn’t get enough attention when he published the subtler book so he had to act out to get attention

              a lot of awful things happen just today (not to mention historically) because of religion, tbf to be more precise, due to religious justifications

                sure, and in 1958 they started killing all the sparrows in china and 15 million+ people starved to death. It’s not religion atheism that caused that one; turns out that people fuck up whatever they want to and blame it on whatever; it doesn’t mean the thing they are blaming caused the thing that happened

                  They didn’t say all bad things happened because of religion. Your example has nothing to do with religion at all, it was pure human stupidity, but when religious people do pure evil with the only justification being “because my religion says so”, you can’t not attribute it to religion if you want to be honest.

                    so when a schizophrenic kills a busfull of orphans and says Jesus told him to do it, the pope is to blame?

              yeah. all my religion wants people to do is eat good food and throw cookouts (preferably by the sea) where you invite the whole neighborhood AND THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART DON’T GIVE THEM FOOD POISONING we already had cults do food poisoning around here and i want to try something original.

              we could probably do better by going vegan but my diet really doesn’t work with that and it’s my cult and i’m gonna be selfish about one thing.
