Quote by: RickSp  What amazes me is the next step.
Theists go from asserting a belief in the unprovable teapot to worshipping the teapot, to trying to convince others to worship the teapot, which now has a complete dogma attached with demands for emotional and financial commitment along with rigid sets of rules enforced by teapot acolytes.
And the worst part is that teapot believers are always ready to engage in bloody conflict with those who insist that it isn't a teapot - it really is a toaster! |
It is odd to convert someone to your own personal beliefs, but then, if it makes you happy, maybe you want to make pthers happy. Wars, however, are rarely fought for completely religous reasons. Even the crusades stemmed out of a purely political concern of the Turk's theft of Byzantine lands.
