Just because you cannot explain how the local magician catches a rabbit in his hat does not mean it is due to divine intervention.
I don't have time to worry about non-existent nonsens and neither should anybody who is not a mindless robot who without wonder or critical thinking take possession of the local superstition, whatever that may depending on your location your opinoin is your opinion, but dont state it while berating others k? and what exactly to evangelical christians do with their opinions?
I'm sure some of them just have it and keep their mouths shut.... I haven't met one yet but there's a lot of em out there... kinda
But as for non-existent nonsense, perhaps you need to think about this a little more. By your argument, not only would people not think about religion, most sciences, philosophies and just plain old thought would be things we "didn't have time" to bother with

I wasn't particularly commenting on religion, just the tendancy that some religious institutions have of contraticting their own policies or "ideals".

Excalibur_Z, let's get pages and pages of flame war out of the way...
Just tell me a story about how God has affected your life, that way I can dismiss you as a completely oblivious retard and summon the will to ignore every one of your posts in this thread.
perhaps you should listen to the opinions of someone not quite as pushy about this topic (no offense excal)

Why would I bother? You've already made up your mind. Mentioning something like that, whether it happened or not, would be useless.

But I think everybody would be best off if we were all atheists. Atheism isn't necessarily truth, but it is the one faith that doesn't promote violence, war, racism, generalized prejudice, masochism, murder, rape, terrorism, suicide, detrimental inhibitions, or misogyny.
Yes because Stalin was such an angel.

I wasn't making a broad social commentary, I had rather specific, obvious examples in mind, but as a general rule I try to abstain from theological discussion on here.
