Topic: The idiocy of religion.
This guy has put it so well - we're goverend by idiots.

George W. Bush is the most powerful man alive. He is a class A imbecile. He is far less intelligent than the average Christian. But like most of the others, he believes Jesus died for his sins. That idea is so perverse and devoid of logic it should shock the conscience. Instead, it gets him elected, and earns him the reverence of a great percentage of America. America! The most advanced country in the world -- run by a bunch of villagers who still believe Santa Claus is going to save them.

There is no damn Easter Bunny. There is no Jesus waiting to return. Moses never even existed. These were all convenient lies from the men of those times to gain power. Their actions were rational -- they wanted to deceive their brethren so that they could amass power. I get their motivations. But I cannot, for the life of me, understand our motivations, thousands of years later, still following the conmen of yesteryear into our gory, bloody, violent end.[source]


What will it actually take to move people into the real world, and modern times, rather than holding to these ridiculous arcane beliefs?

It's getting to a point where religion is getting WORSE, MORE dominant. It almost worries me that the only half-decent place that I could move to, just so I can get away from this crap, is Japan!
