I don't mock their deaths, just their actions. It doesn't take much in the way of education to understand that when medical experts say if you do this you endanger yourselves and others and that it might just be a good idea to not do what they're doing.

As I said in the post, "Most are observing the rules, but there are many who have no regard for themselves and less for others. They are our mid April terrorists." The vast majority of churches around the world were empty today and that too should give even the least educated among them at the minimum some concern.

Now, get of my lawn!

1. Education gives us the tools to see through religious dogma which has always contradicted science. Those without the privilege of our education are more susceptible to such blind dogma.
2. Economic desperation makes one do things that are illogical and self-destructive. Alcoholism, for example. Religion is another.
3. Burundi is a desperately poor nation. It was brought to that state by Western Imperialism, which benefited you and made your enlightened education possible. You mock those whose exploitation and subsequent desperation you benefit from.
4. Some background on Burundi that explains the appeal of religion there in the wake of Western exploitation and fomentation of war: [libcom.org]
5. Your "lawn"? I didn't realize you owned this tab under Agnostic! Are you kicking me out of your church because I disagree with your doctrine? Because I challenge your sermon? Because I find the hymn you composed to be anti-humanist?

You can't bla.e religion, only that you followed the herd without thinking.
