Why wtf? Totally accurate description.

Although... to be fair, religion doesn't lead to the invention of airplanes....

[–]ChickenFD 4 points5 points ago

True story.

[–]eyesofsaturn 1 point2 points ago

yeah guys, let's always think in absolutes, that doesn't make us bigots or anything.

[–]DarkJezter 3 points4 points ago

Repost from r/ateism

[–]Y2KxSurvivor 0 points1 point ago

thats going to offend a lot of people. but it kind of is the truth. if there was no religion in the world, the entire planet would be much more advanced... i think.

Reminds me of another saying I saw here on Reddit. "the difference between science and religion is that science is real no matter if you believe in it or not" Paraphrasing somewhat.

[–]Geoffreypjs -5 points-4 points ago

Religion doesnt. Terrorism does.

This is just an all-around bad comparison.

[–]DerelictDiety 7 points8 points ago

This particular act was committed in the name of religion.

[–]Boltsfan55 0 points1 point ago

Not all religion is this way. The extremists may have been, but not all religion leads people to hijack airplanes or kill masses of people.

[–]redips11 0 points1 point ago

Yes, but religion has not given us anything in return but hope. People follow it's morals, but in the end, all it causes is war and moral controversy. Science makes us progress.

[–]apollo580 5 points6 points ago

Horrible argument, with this logic I can say that the invention of the atomic bomb caused lots of death, so therefore science is bad.

Btw, I'm not pro Religion either, just pointing out that this is a bad comparison.

[–]Gladiatrix 2 points3 points ago

Lets not forget Mengele and what progress can bring. Both science and religion are nice things but it's people who abuse it. The picture should say: People fly to the moon and people fly into buildings.

[–]psub_xero 2 points3 points ago

Short post. Long list of logical fallacies. Please don't talk about thinks this important again. Ever.

[–]druefnielle -2 points-1 points ago

Yes, religion does.

[–]Jazzalicious -1 points0 points ago

Science gave us the H-Bomb.

[–]WBudWhite -2 points-1 points ago
