It is time to mock their foolishness. The worst thing about religion is that it instills in children a false sense of certainty, and many will carry this burden (to themselves and society) into adulthood.

When religion is gone, what will you bicker over? whose idea of nothing is better, or whose understanding of quantum mechanics is superior. Its nor religion that makes people stupid. We are stupid, let stupid be as stupid is. Oh my Science! When religion is gone, what will you bicker over? whose idea of nothing is better, or whose understanding of quantum mechanics is superior.

This is, in my opinion, the most sobering theme in humankind today - the degeneration of the gene pool. Yes, selection mechanisms are at work in the most pernicious way. Immigration, the women's lib movement, the pressure and struggle for fast cars instead of family, and more - point to a different country ahead of us, a country more like Brazil perhaps.

But i think the fact that this "hotellier" used the religious figure to attract customers to his/her hotel is just a scummy thing to do. It was obvious that no one could refute his allegations and those stupid enough to be pulled in by this well..they were blind before they decided to look up.
