Is religion still relevant in modern society?

I couldn't give 2 shits if you think my belief is irrational or not.What pisses me off is your hypocrisy arrogance and intolerance. How you act all mighty and superior towards anyone who is like padib, how you call him intolerant when you clearly despise everything religious, how you call him homophobic, when anyone can clearly see HE does not hate queers. Funny how you immediately jumped on accusations bandwagon to expose my "religious evilness" and how horrible my God is (even though i never used that word, but whatever works for ya), but it ain't gonna work on me. Im not like padib, i wouldn't spend 5 seconds justifying my faith to a person like you

if you don't care, then why are you STILL arguing with me about it?  if you didn't care, you'd be happy to sit back and ignore this thread.  The fact is, you DO care, because my assertion that following religion is a willful act of ignorance (Faith is belief without proof) makes your world view feel threatened and you feel the need to act out aggressively.  

I do not despise EVERYTHING religious, just the bad or stupid parts. you know, like that whole "The world is 6000 years old, evolution is a myth, dinosaurs aren't real, and praying is the path to healing" BS.  I've said multiple times that the non-aggressive, non-judgemental religious people are GREAT!  many of my best friends are religious, and one of which has actually been studying to become an ordained preist.  The ones who chose to use god as a reason to help others and be non-judgemental, and understand that Religion and Science are not mutually exclusive, those are the ones I like.  While they are the majority, there's more than enough people like you and padib that I see daily to remind me why I loathe religion so much.  Padib at least is trying to be more rational about yet, yet he still adheres to his ideals which consist of sexism and various other barbaric judgemental beliefs. 

And back to the topic at hand: THAT is why religion should have no place in this world except for the hearts of those who believe.  If you believe in god, good for you, but keep that shit to yourself.  As I've said DOZENS of times, the moment someone uses god or religion to judge others, act superior, or interfere in science, that's when I have a problem.  You, sir, are exhibit A.
