It's ironic that, as I was wearing shorts, I was asked to wear a silver-coloured cape a few days ago in order to enter a Coptic church in Cairo - when Jesus was flashing his knees from the crucifix inside.

In fairness, the poor ****er was nailed to a cross, sort of offsets you having to wear a cape to cover your legs

Re: George Carlin religion

About 3 to 4 percent of doctors and the like are religious

So not many at all

Not true at all, according to Pewresearch 51% of scientists believe in a deity. There is no competition between religion and science.

I don't think you are naive , I know that you are deluded

If you get cancer are you going to pray God makes you better ?

Of give the science of medicine a go ?

Why do you place science in conflict with religion. Science seeks to answer the question of "how?" Religion answers the question of "why?"

76% of Dr's believe in God.

Religions don't answer 'why' - otherwise there wouldn't have been thousands of deities in the history of the planet and which have differed so much or are contradictory.
They may have tried to answer the question 'why' for primitive peoples who had little or no understanding of meteorology, microbes, electricity, atoms and various causes of natural phenomena - but we have the benefit of knowing much more than unknown scribes millenia ago who wrote fairy stories or, in many cases, rewrote pre-existing fairy stories with new spins. Hence the endless schisms that happen in religions.

"According to the poll, just over half of scientists (51%) believe in some form of deity or higher power; specifically, 33% of scientists say they believe in God"

Salt Lake City?

Atheism isn't normal, you essentially believe the world was created by a random bang and that life is meaningless. That's not normal, rational or healthy for living a life.
No wonder you appear mentally unstable a lot of the time.
Your claim that 3% of Dr's believe in God is absolute nonesense.

Re: George Carlin religion

Utter garbage.
And when will the penny drop, religion is man-made, like evolution.
The only guy who can rescue individuals is Christ Jesus, He rescued me 54 years ago.
Relationship, not religion

Does the relationship include communication back to you that you can ‘listen to’ or somehow observe?

Outside the world of nature, science has no authority, no statements to make, no business whatsoever taking one position or another. Science has nothing decisive to say about values, whether economic, aesthetic or moral; nothing to say about the meaning of life or its purpose.
Religion on the other hand does have something to say about these matters, your suggestion that science is incompatible with religion is pure bollocks.
Yes there have been many religions but they all believe in a creator, which seems deeply embedded into our DNA.
Atheism isn't normal, clever or correct. It's irrational.

Humanism can offer all of that without the supernatural.

A recent study finds that people who regularly attend religious services live approximately four years longer than average. Researchers built the study from previous data suggesting that social interaction, volunteer work, and healthy habits can lead to a longer life.

So you believe that God created the earth for humankind but you're not happy about sharing the bit you happened to be born in with people of a different colour to you? What do you think God's take on that attitude would be then?
