Part 2:
as far as "proving" religions wrong, I'm fine with it. Like i said earlier, there are 1000's of religions out there, and they for the most part disagree with each other (if they all agreed with each other, then it'd be one giant religion ^_^ ).
So a bunch of them are BOUND to be contradictory or just plain out wrong. Strap yourself to a bomb and blow up a bus so you can go to heaven and have sex with like 40 virgins? Err.......
You can tell a lot about a religion if you ARE an outsider and you can look at what I like to call their "fruits", or rather the fruits of their labor. If they claim to truly follow a sacred text, then by their track record, we can really see if they truly adhere to their cause or not.
On the other hand, if a family is religious and they are happy and their kids don't get into trouble and they live a simple peaceful life where they are not in mountains of debt or whatnot, then perhaps there is something to their religion.
