Wouldn't the world be a much nicer place if people just kept their crazy religious delusions to themselves? Instead of being obtrusive and oppressive it would be more like going to the zoo and seeing the baboons throw shit at each other or the circus and checking out the freak show.

Religions were / are a major basis for wars over possession and control of scarce resources. The scarcer the resources related to human needs and wants the more religion that tends to be prevalent and the more hatred and war that results. It is always, and invariably, a bigoted us versus them, firmly believed to confer possessive and controlling right to the bigoted membership, and if the membership feels that they do not have enough of what they claim inalienable god given right to, then they claim the inalienable god given right to take it from everyone and anyone else who is not a member. That is unless and until secular governments intervene and suppress religions tendencies and practices.

If we could cage them all and sell Tickets to the Shit Throwing Show we could pay the National Debt off in just a month of PPV sales and live show tickets. We would need All the Rust Belt States to become holding pens for the Circus. We could House ALL the Homeless in the "church" properties and feed /Employ them with ALL with the churches and "leaders" assets. I mite suggest that the Pope and Joel Osteen be the first "Shit Throwing Show" Ticket! Till this comes to pass I will Resist!

"Throwing shit to each other" its a perfect analogy! But that is what most religions are all about,, controll..controll and oppression!

Uh, you forgot selective repression. If only they'd uniformly repress their desires to force their ideologies on everyone else and especially repress their desires to harm children - everyone would be living in harmony.

At this point it couldn't hurt to try it. The planet is already screwed up as is.
