What the hell are you religous people doing with your lifes? Seriously!! Living by the rules of some ancient book, written by who the hell,knows, for whatever reason.

Its the year 2010, almost 2011! Our origins are almost 100% confirmed, the way the galaxies came into existence is far more convincing of that, God created the earth in 5 days or whatever it was.
Think about it, Adam and Eve the supposed first Humans, thats right folks, 2 people on Earth TWO. So they must of had sex about 1000000 times, and eve must of had 100's if not thousands of children, one big incest family right?
Religion is the scourage of humanity, dont say this you might offend, dont do that, oh no you cant eat this, or you cant drink that.

Most people don't live by the rules of the Bible, even fundamentalists who think its the Word of God don't abide by its every rule (thank goodness). After all when was the last time we had Witch burnings and put people who work on the Sabbath to death. Or how about stoning your daughter to death when she has sex before marriage? (that's in Deuteronomy 22). When was the last time we heard of a Christian keeping slaves, slavery is condoned in the Bible and the Bible even gives tips on how hard you can beat your slave and says that you can sell your daughter into slavery.
Most also don't do what Christ taught. For one thing they pray in Church which Jesus was against. Jesus tells his disciples explicitly to pray in secret.
I don't think we should insult the people however, just the religion itself, because it isn't the people that are stupid, they've just been misled. I was misled as a child, I was raised as a fundamentalist, it takes years to break religious programming.
The best advice I can give any Christian is to read the Bible from cover to cover without any apologetic supplements and without asking a priest when they have a question about it. Just read it themselves and think about it themselves.
That gave us the witch burnings
