Islam is just one of many religions to inhabit that part of the planet in the last 10k years.....it was once such a magnificent place, Now this

I am fifty years old and have had a plateful of personal and familial tragedy; yes indeed. There is simply no percentage in choosing not to recover. That is something I believe. You otoh value your anger enough to propagate it and allow it to be the engine of your perception. I see neither wisdom nor beauty in that.
I won't ask you your age, since it has zero relevance. I'm guessing your age is close to mine if you have children who remember that awful day. But I am honestly counseling abandoning your anger; it's done its job and then some, imo. Is it possible that you're holding onto it out of force of habit? It will hurt to seek change; I respect that. But I do believe that the benefit is worth the act of courage, of facing the pain leading to closure, needed to set your anger aside. cn

Is that the Buddist statues in Afghanistan that was blown up by the Taliban?

other "non war" crap
They are to cohabit with demure virgins...as beauteous as corals and rubies...full-breasted maidens for playmates...in the gardens of delight.... They're to lie face to face on jewelled couches, and be serviced by immortal youths...young boys, their personal property, as comely as virgin pearls.... We created the houris [dancing girls] and made them virgins, carnal playmates for those on the right hand.... We are going to wed them to dark-eyed houris.

Nope it was the Taliban. And it had nothing to do with religion. It was because Afghanistan was in ruins and had UN sanctions imposed on it. A foreign organization offered money to restore the statues when next to the statues 1,000s of children was dying from starvation and the Taliban said give the money to help the children and the organization said no. So they said since you don't care about our future (children) why should you care about our heritage and destroyed them. If it was because of religion why was other statues left alone and only these imparticular ones destroyed?

You've clearly not read it if you think those violent verses was talking about killing people in general or you was reading the Arabic version and you didn't understand any of the words. And so what about the random stuff does that make Muslims bad people because of their beliefs of what happens in the after life??

Yes i can't stand religious books. I like science books,and nature shows, dinosaurs, evilution....you know thing like that. For atheist it's hard for us to take any of it vey seriously. It all just seems so very silly to us.....Dead serious man, we are totally stumped by such an obsession with something that doesn't even exist...

Your implying as if Islam and science can't go together. Since your so in to evolution you would have heard of Al-Jahiz, a devout Muslim who came up with an early theory of evolution something like 1,000 years before Darwin. And you have no evidence that God does not exist so ridiculing other peoples beliefs when you have no evidence yourself is a joke.

I think it would benefit you to learn about the ideas you oppose.
How did you realize you were an atheist? It took me many months of non stop research into the subject of religion, which meant I had to learn a lot about it, which also coincides with most other atheists I know. They're atheists because they read it and dismissed it as false.
What's your answer to the question "Why don't you believe in God?"?

Islam, and in fact, all organized religions, are completely contradictory to science. Accepting a theory doesn't make organized religion scientific, it shows that one can only deny something so long before the flock starts to falter.
Organized religion is the biggest obstacle we face toward progress, especially when it comes to science.

Well he practically created the theory so its not denying:
“Animals engage in a struggle for existence; for resources, to avoid being eaten and to breed. Environmental factors influence organisms to develop new characteristics to ensure survival, thus transforming into new species. Animals that survive to breed can pass on their successful characteristics to offspring.”
In my opinion its the fact a minor few attach themselves to different groups and demonize others whether its religion, nationality, race or color which is the biggest obstacle and that is not going to change anytime soon.

IMO, nationalism and racism are further perpetuated by organized religion and the ignorance it requires.

I did not read "the holly books" to dismiss as false...........Elementary school library science book section did that for me. After realizing humans are just a blip in our planets history. It makes anything God/human related void of any point and not worthy of any further investigation....Besides it obvious god was creating by man to contol and devide man.

Man thats tough.....I cant prove the Easter bunny doesn't exists either..........The fact that humans will go down as one of the least successful species ever to inhabit this planet is all I got.

If you want to have an informed intelligent discussion you must make the effort of informing yourself on the basic rules of logic.
Burden of Proof - there is an implicit burden of proof on the person asserting a claim. "If this responsibility or burden of proof is shifted to a critic, the fallacy of appealing to ignorance is committed"
Russell's Teapot - "But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense."
