Reviews for How to pray in Atheism

Okay...

Let me put this in simple terms, as this is a most egregious example of a fallacy known as "Hasty Generalization".

Your reasoning is as follows:
Some people flew planes into the WTC, killing around 3000 people.
These people were religious.
Therefore, religious people kill.

This is completely false; there are a lot of religious people that are exactly like you in terms of tolerance and are religious for the sole purpose of that it makes them comfortable and happy in life. I'm a light Christian and I really couldn't care less about what your beliefs are, so long as you don't try to force them on me. I'm very open-minded about pretty much anything and am willing to accept what someone says and change what I think if it makes sense to me. I really don't think that saying religion = hate + killing is true; it's just that a lot of people are religious for the wrong reasons and make some think that.

From a scholar of religion...

You look only at one side of the issue, however. If religion did not exist at any point and time, the masterworks of Greece would not have been written, the Sistine Chapel's ceiling would not be so beautiful... Heck, there would be no sistine chapel... The pyramids of Giza would have no reason to be built, the pilgrims would not have fled to America, and there would essentially be no fantasy, as most "legends" are based in old-world religions. There would be no concept of the witch, or the alchemist, or the wizard, as all are supernatural concepts steeped in ancient religion. Art would never have existed, and without art to inspire the world, technology would not have advanced. Whether we like it our not, our world, with its good and bad points, is the direct result of people applying their religion to better the world.

All this to get back at someone?

Man this sucked. I'm Athiest and don't care what religious people think so you should cry it out in your pillow instead of wasting 2 minutes of time I could have been jacking off.

All this pro-Israel shit is starting to make me puke.

All right, enough is enough!

All of the reviews have just been other atheist making fun of religion, im making a change. I do belive there is a God, I mean think about it, what do you scientist think we are going to see when we are dead? How have sientist proved the "miracle planet" was created? To the person who said there is no heaven in the sky, thats because it is behond teh galaxy, besides we will need to be dead to reach it anyways. It really doesnt matter wich relgion you choose because 99% of them basically worship the same god. Would it really hurt you guys to just pray or something? Meh, I would just like to add that I am not standing up because of the movie but for the of the reviews it got.

P.S., religion did not cause those tragic events, the stupidity of human beings did.
