No moustaches, no fat calves, no steel wire hair, etc. We should go raid their village, kill off their men and grab all their women. Yeah, we'll be happy then!"

Think about it: WWII - Why did the Germans invade France? 'Cos the French women were so much better looking, romantic and dainty! Scores of Allied soldiers 'fraternised' (or bonked, shagged, screwed, call it what you will) with the German, Japanese and Italian women, even marrying a bunch of them and bringing them back to their countries. That influx of fresh better-looking genes helped produce off-spring that had advantages in their new countries. Look at those of Italian origin - Nigella Lawson, for example.

I'm not saying it's the women's fault - far from it. If we men could only be content with the women in our own 'village', there'd be no wars today. Why else would there be porn today? So you can stare at and fantasise about somebody else's woman, right?

Oil, you say? Yes, that is one exception, 'cos would you want those bushy eye-browed hairy-armed Iraqi women looking like a walking black tent? And if not for Islam, I think the Yanks would be all over the few good-looking Iraqi women, marrying some and bringing them back to the US.

Actually, if not for the excuse of religion tied to racial prejudice, if we were all open-minded and peace-loving, we'd all be beige - no pelangi, no blacks, no brown, no yellow,...

The logic for this rationalisation is so terrible, but hilarious nonetheless.

I am. If they put out more often there probably would be no wars.
Us men would be too busy having sex.

I believe his greatest commandment was to love those around us...not judge them and act like self righteous cocks. I am far from perfect and don't deserve Gods grace in the slightest...good thing its given, not earned. The thing that really gets me is how closed minded some Christians seem to be...there is a whole world out there and sometimes, just sometimes you're wrong with what you think you know.

Any religion ends up resembling unionism in the end... The intent is correct, but the agenda of individuals trumps the desire of the masses at some point

And yes I agree with you that closed minded folks who force their beliefs onto others need to be enlightened...

What's with the Atheists always trying to convince people that what they believe is true and other beliefs are bad?

Because the overwhelming evidence is that religion and religous people are responsible for the majority of evil and suffering throught history.

That should be enough justification in itself.

If viewed objectively, the same could be said about good. Evil people will always find an excuse. I do find preachy atheists pretty funny though, so they are good for something!

Of course. Evil people feed off the intellectually and emotionally week. Naturally they gravitate toward the feeding pool
