Some of the best minds in history might disagree in the search for truth.

Einstein? Who do you have in mind? Carl Sagen? Christopher Hitchens? Dawkins? Hocking? I find it more than difficult to imagine a great scientist or mathmatician as a dedicated believer of hogwash. Face it, we all have a choice -- to believe in myth or reality. The opening of this thread points out the primary fallacy of all religion -- it has always been a tool of those in pursuit of power, and a primary cause of human conflict.

We destroy ourselves from within. It's called hate.

Ugly and toxic.

Free yourself from it.

Hate is useful...for instance....race gardeners fertilize their voter crops with hate...
