Maybe in ignorant retardland, where you reside, but in the real world the good done by people having faith far outweighs the evils perpetrated in its name. Now yes, the evils get far more press, and I'm not surprised you'd be the type of moron who would paint everyone with faith with a brush handed to you by the nightly news, but that doesn't make your girlfriend any less ugly.
There are obviously tangible benefits to acts done by people with faith, such as charitable giving and work, and there is a far greater nontangible benefit to humanity from people who respect their fellow man due to faith. That benefit cannot be measured, that's what nontangible means, dumbf
Uck. The benefit of following an ethical code, no matter from whence it springs, is more valuable than any detriment random fanatics may cause.
And I'm not religious in any way. I don't even have faith in God. I think it's a romantic idea that there is some benevolent overseer watching us and sighing in satisfaction at his creation, but I'm more of an atheist then anything, and I can still see the value of people believing.
The real beauty of my own personal ethos, though, is that I don't feel like I'm going to hell for saying that you're probably the most intensely stupid person ever to be pushed out of the festering ****** of a *****. I only say "probably" because you're neck and neck with Dorkette for that title.
