I agree that the faithful and society would be better served by a reality-based approach to life, but what is the likelihood of that from believers? I can't think of a better way to handle it than to make it clear that I do not share their hallucination Moderator cut: deleted
ROFLAO!!!
Exactly how they approach everything! They can't lose. No no no, losing will not be tolerated. Religion is a joke, yet it's hard to laugh when you see so many blind followers off in their own little world saving souls. Give it up preacherman, the war is endless. Learn to accept that we are all different.

Yeah thats hogwash. We're just another living creature on the planet that lives and dies, regardless of how our brains work.

With that logic only religious adults would ever die, because they beleive in that. Children are innocent until they learn and understand things to make their own decisions and Athiests don't beleive in anything to sin against, so we'd (by that logic) never die. Which has been proven wrong obviously.
