Should we respect Religion?
#1
Should we respect Religion?
I was watching one of Dawkins Videos and It had me thinking.
Any my Question is this:
Should we respect religions as a whole?
And what I mean is stop being so polite when it comes to the religion its self (I don't mean being a complete jerk to any one person as that's just cruel) and to show everybody just how stupid and evil and irrelevant it is to the whole world.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
