Thats the kind of thinking that puts me off religion. The first part completely contradicts the second. You say if everyone followed a Jesus there would be less pricks. Okay I get that. But now you go onto talk about social superiority, which is hypocritical, because by calling non-believers pricks you are attempting to say you are socially superior.

You are, therefore, not a decent person. Are you?

Anyways I could say the same about religion, but I won't, because I already have

The thing is, it is my belief as a non-believer, that we the only ones that we should follow. We can only blame ourselves (or nature... ****ing Katrina), and we can only thank ourselves for what happens. I find it annoying, like many catholics also, to have other forms of belief always jumping down my throat to preach their way.
