If I go to the pet store and buy a primate, have I then bought an atheist??? Can I keep him in a cage at home ?? Everyone should have a pet atheist then.
Is it true that they come from Primates??

It seems that I now have the religious and warrior gene as well as the handicapped gene that makes me happy. I am learning something every day..
Humans and primates are not in the same family, maybe your family. God created man seperate of primate, but there are two distinct races here. One goes to the doctor and thanks God and the other goes to the vet and thanks nature for creating them..

You obviously have not evolved as far as many of the other primates. All humans are primates. No you can not buy Atheists. You can not falsely imprison a human.
Most MDs were pre-veterinary majors before entering med school.

If you are human, you evolved from primates, whether you are an atheist or an imbecile. Some church officials are called primates. You surely don't mean them...although many of them should be in cages. Pope Urban II preached a crusade-a holy war to liberate Jeruselam from the Moslems. He promised that anyone who was slain in this holy war automatically went to Heaven. He and anyone stupid enough to believe such ngao si (as my Chinese girlfriend says) should be in cages. Are you a Christian? Have you heard of the Golden Rule (expressed by Confucius 500 years before Jesus) and the Ten Commandments? Are you following them when you say such things as I see in your rant?

Everyone comes from primates. Want proof? Look at the sequence of the Cytosine/Guanine and Thymine/Adenine in the DNA, very similar.
Oh and we still are primates. Homo sapiens to be exact.

Yes - we ALL (believers and atheists) come from primates. However, if you buy a primate from the pet store, it won't be a sentient one, given that its evolutionary path resulted in non-sentience. Therefore, you'll just have an agnostic primate.

Scientists will soon explain why some people are religious and believe in God, and why there’s so much trouble caused in the world by religion. Scientists have already shown that some people carry a "warrior" gene that makes them more prone to violence and criminal acts.
Some people are genetically predisposed to violence and criminal acts, and I believe scientists have also found that some people are genetically predisposed to religious or spiritual acts, but have yet to publish their full findings to avoid a public uproar.
Scientists may well discover that people who are predisposed to the “religious or spiritual” gene are probably more likely to also be predisposed to the “warrior” gene, which would ultimately cause these people to have religious conflicts like crusades and wars. It is already a well known fact that religion is responsible for the majority of wars, conflict and murder of innocent life since humanity began.
Religious people do not understand the question “why” and so God, Religion, the Bible, or whatever, takes over and controls their mind. The trouble with this solution, unlike science, is that anything can be twisted into whatever you wish to believe and therefore is always right. Sadly to say, that’s irrational thought.
However, there must be a rational explanation why religious people act in such an irrational manner, and I think scientists will prove in the near future that it’s all a function of genetic disposition.
Religious believers are truly blessed with a very special gift. The violent troubles around our world are clearly associated with various religious factions. Scientists have published details about the “warrior” gene and the “spiritual or religious” gene which shows that certain people are genetically predisposed to violence and/or religion. Scientists have also published that religion could be the result of mental illness. This makes sound sense in our deeply troubled world.
It’s also a well known fact that intellectually handicapped people are often quoted as being the happiest people in the world. They are so blissfully unaware of the true world around them, and see and believe reality to be quite different in their mental worlds.
I think religious people are blessed with a similar “handicapped” gift which would could explain why they see and believe in the imaginary world of religion, God and the Bible. I think religious people are also blissfully unaware of reality in their mentally handicapped world. This could help, explain their irrational behaviour.
In summary for religious people, you could conclude with some key words, namely: Warrior Gene, Religious Gene, Irrational Thought, Violent Wars, Mental Illness, Handicapped, Fantasy and Imaginary. Does it ring a bell like Pavlov’s Dog perhaps.

Man evolved from a common ancestor. Two different creatures with similar traits because of their shared heritage, but different adaptations.
Humans evolved from Homo neanderthalensis
Homo neanderthalensis are the ancient and now extinct relatives of Homo sapiens (modern humans).
The term Neanderthal is sometimes used to refer to a person who is thought to have primitive or unenlightened
