Why would a magical master of a universe with countless trillions of solar systems choose this .....?

Jesus is fake fake fake. Jesus is really a mexican at walmart allah/mohammad is cab driver in new york city buddha is fat man at china dim sum house kim jong un is waiter at korean noodle house. 1.

Religion impedes scientific truth. As someone who studies evolutionary science, I'm frustrated at how many religious people ignore the mountain of evidence behind the theory of evolution. Genes, point mutations, patterns in variability between closely-related genomes, artificial selection, natural selection, kin selection, allopatric/sympatric speciation, founder species, bottleneck events, reciprocal altruism, adaptive radiation... How stubborn and willfully ignorant must a person be to dismiss all of this?

To me, evolutionary process is something everyone should understand. Creationism and Intelligent Design don't even fit the definition of a "theory." Science aside, though, "faith" prevents people from asking questions in general, and that's the most dangerous part.

2. Religion allows people to relinquish responsibility for their actions. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the phrase, "It's in God's hands now," or that "All we can do is pray."

I went to a screening of a documentary about sex-trafficking at my university, unaware that it was made by Christians whose only advice was to pray, and then tell all of my friends to pray. You have to understand that in the mind of an atheist, prayer is slacktivism, it's useless, and it's an excuse not to do something actually helpful. It serves to make people feel better, I guess.

Maybe that's good, but it's made-up. 3. Religious leaders are automatically trusted and can convince people to give money, change their behavior, start a war... Intolerance is taught by many religions.

Can't tell you how many times I was told on the school bus that I was going to Hell for being Buddha (at the time).

http://youtu.be/91fPeIvcA6I I wasn't aware that Christians didn't think God pays attention to other planets. We are pretty certain there is no life on any other planets in our solar system. I have no idea why he chose to create life on this planet and not the others.

We don't know yet if there is life on planets in any other solar system. Update: http://www.amnh.org/education/resources/...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
