I'm only here to start the conversation because I'm tired of seeing "Atheism is Poison" thread being bumped daily... can't you assholes give the anti-Atheist bigotry a break for a single fucking day?!?
If you really need someone to elaborate on all the ways that religion poisons people's mind, body, soul and the planet... I can do that...

Please, someone tell me how believing in a magic sky God is better than not believing in a magic sky God... How does believing in fairy tales help a person in any way whatsoever?

I think that there is a point in everything that you have detailed here. I am a christian but I think that there is so much hate to atheists that is becoming so unfair. Their belief might be different but it doesnt mean that they have not any morals than the rest of us.
