completely agree hereI posted to this, it must have gotten lost.
to summarize what I said earlier.
1. This by definition makes God not real.
2. God for the most part was the God of the Gaps in human understanding. Then it was used by clerics of that God to manipulate the people into obeying a strict moral code (this then gave them more power then the rulers)
3. This is plain wrong. Religion in fact uses the sense of community to propagate its agenda. Once the religious meme infects enough or all of the people of a community it becomes ingrained, and passed down throughout the generations as tradition. The teaching of such religion are for the morality of the slave while the nobles use the morality of the master as Friedrich Nietzsche wrote about( a wiki link if you don't know what I am referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master-slave_morality).
4.ATHEISM IS A LACK OF BELIEF IN A DEITY. Therefore a negation cannot be a thing that it is negating. Atheism is not a belief there is no deities it is the lack of belief that there ever was deities
5. The reason is that metaphysics isn't real.
6. If that were true we'd all be rich.
7. That is the selfish gene. The one that wants to keep you kin alive over the kin of another.
(i think i pretty much agree with pretty much everything this poster has posted)
