However a poster above mentioned Islam as intolerant of other religions. This is not the case , in fact in times of the Crusades it was tolerant of all religions. I am afraid it was the Christian Crusaders who were intolerant. Christians have a habit of this since they evolved in Pagan times.
The Koran is far less violent than the Old Testament.

However nutty, most religions are tolerant of others, seeing the news this morning, 21 Christians beheaded. (as we know, this is not an isolated incident) ISLAM seems intolerant of any religion other than its own, although christened a catholic, I'm pretty well non religious although a firm believer that Jesus Christ existed, just not in the way portrayed in the bible.

33 years ago I was told by my priest that in his eyes (the eyes of the church), I wasn't even married and that to have my daughter christened, it would be required that I re-marry in a catholic church, that was the beginning of the end for me with religion. what nonsense!!!
Be more respectful to truthpaste than that but let truthpaste know that if he wants to argue his case, he needs to do so from the same basis as his interlocutors and attempt to use reason. I could argue that wolves can speak because I read it in Little Red Riding Hood. This is equally valid to claiming that snakes can speak because it says so in Genesis. If God is omnipotent then he should be able to give truthpaste the tools to argue his case without relying on a document which is not universally agreed to be valid.
Religion can be defined as this
"The day the first salesman met the first fool."
There should be a new bible written - based on what we actually know - Dr Brian Cox can write it - about the earth, it's known place in the solar system, how nature actually works.
Religion is nothing other than humans not being able to comprehend - space, the known universe etc.
