if I was born and raised several centuries ago in south america, I'd think the only way to make god happy was by human sacrifice. I know making god happy is a good thing, so I volunteer.
a few centuries later in europe, I'm burning heretics at the stake. because it's god's will. that's what they tell me, and I believe them. pass the torch.
today in the middle east, some people think heaven is gained by blowing innocent bystanders to bits with car bombs. why? because they were raised to think so.
thank god we live in the 'enlightened' western world. all we believe is that god came to earth 2000 years ago, born of a virgin, walked on water, rose from the dead, wrote a magic book, and if you eat a cracker it turns into his flesh and you live forever. oh, and it's OK to kill anyone who doesn't believe that, because god loves america.
isn't religion stupid. don't you wish your children can be born in the future without having to grow up with these foolish ideas?
