Religion is the devil's work

I know what eugenics is , it's been around longer than christianity and if you look at it's history it has never been about atheism.

The way you post is why wars exist. It's why people kill each other.

You didn't take the time to understand my post at all, you made me upset because you didn't try to understand why my comment was related to your post. You assumed.

Assuming is bad, and imho is what leads to wars. I assume that such a party did such an action because I don't give them the benefit of the doubt. Thus I retaliate.

Let me show you how wars have nothing to do with religion, but how religion is but one of many tools used by the human heart to lead to suffering.

In the world, people have needs. Needs to be loved, surrounded, understood, appreciated, in control, virtuous. These human needs exist, whether religion exists or not.

The example of eugenics was not meant, in any way, to say that atheism is to blame for wars. And that's part of the problem, you thought I said that when I didn't. You didn't think forward. That's the problem, that's what leads to problems between people. You wedged a wall between you and me, you said "he's wrong", thus you completely misunderstood my comment.

My comment was to show that some things can be at the root of suffering without them stemming from religion, and eugenics was an example of that. That you took my comment to mean that atheism leads to suffering just blows my mind.

So from a three word comment I'm supposed to gleen your real intent I'm not a mind reader.
