So, what do you think that I think is religion's fault, and why do you think that I am arrogant in thinking so?  Here's my perspective on your list: 

1.  War - you already admitted you made this up completely
2.  Terrorism - I don't recall speaking of terrorism and religion in this thread, and for the record I don't think "religion" is to blame, per se
3.  Stupidity - No. 
4.  Weird rituals - well, I will cop to this one, but religion is far from the only cause of people making up weird rituals.  Don't know why I would be arrogant to think that religion sometimes leads to rituals that to someone else may appear strange or pointless (unless the religious significance is explained to them).  I think evidence backs this up
5.  Personal thinking - I guess you mean that I think religion controls your thoughts?  No.  But any indoctrination, religious or not, of a child growing up can lead them to be sorely mistaken about the world if what they have been taught contradicts all evidence.  Example:  Jesus and dinosaurs lived at the same time; dinosaurs were alive as recently as human recorded history.  If you also believe this, well, my argument just got harder but I stand by it
6.  "Evaluations decisions" or individuals - Obviously a person's beliefs on what is true influence their decision making, religious or not.  I don't know what is arrogant about saying this. 

The stupidity of dinosaur threats aside, Let's just end this cause its getting really long. Perhpas i painted you with a broader brush or perhaps i was right, either reason could irk you and let's just put that aside since we are spinning in circles

I have no idea what you mean by "threat" and I think spinning in circles is far from the truth, but if you want to quit the debate I cannot and will not demand that you stay.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
