re: #326 SanFranciscoZionist

I think you know very little about religion. They have classes, and books and stuff.

Actually, I have been through the classes, and books and stuff. And it wasn’t easy to overthrow that indoctrination.

Belief in creationism is roundly mocked on this site. But to me, the idea of creationism is no more or less absurd than the idea of a “savior” who accepted punishment for my alleged wrongdoings. That goes against my own sense of justice. If the leader of a criminal gang murdered a loved one of mine, I would want that person punished, and no one else. If one of his underlings offered a phony confession and did the time for him, I wouldn’t consider that justice. But in tribal societies several millenia ago, people accepted the idea that as long as someone took the punishment, justice was served.

I wonder why “creationists” are singled out for special ridicule on this site? Why aren’t all religious believers?
