The Enemy Of All Religion
Just something to think about:
'Let me say to you again -- and let me say it once and for all -- that morality has nothing to do with religion. Morality does not depend upon the supernatural. Morality does not walk with the crutches of miracles. Morality appeals to the experience of mankind. It cares nothing about faith, about sacred books. Morality depends upon facts, something that can be seen, something known, the product of which can be estimated. It needs no priest, no ceremony, no mummery. It believes in the freedom of the Human mind. It asks for investigation. It is founded upon truth. It is the enemy of all religion because it has to do with this world, and with this world alone.'
-- Robert Ingersoll

I liked the post until you said morality is an 'enemy' of all religion because it has to do with this world alone. First, I don't think you can prove that and, secondly, why would that make it religion's enemy? Morality can exist in religious people too, can it not?
Well, it ws just a quote that I didn't write. I don't have an opinion on it either way but it does give one pause to think.
