Never meant to call you a retard (i did, i know. but you happened to be in the way of one my reason vs everything tirdes. Sorry for that).
Religion supposedly sets out values systems in a simplified way for peoiple to understand them. But, in my opinion, that statement works only for the very earlyt version of religion. The values systems have beeen thoroughly corrupted by years of power abuse, and bad decisions. In the end, to make a clear cut example, the christian doctrine was based on being good to one another. From there has spawned catholicism, a religion that promotes guilt, hatred and visions of eternal punishment.
Of course not any catholic is aretard, as in not every atheist is a bigoted witch hunter. But the majority are. So, in my position of trying to base my beliefs on what seems more logical to me, i ended up being an atheist who doesnt support atheist movements.
I do slip into asshole-ish mean spiritedness sometimes, i'm sorry for that. That's, maybe, a consequence of being raised by two hardcore catholics who were two wrecked evil beings. But i am also a condescending prick.
