While the rest of your post is predicated on your inability to actually read what others say, prefering instead to simply make up arguments for others then offer your canned responses, I will respond anyway:
This is human nature. While you take a great deal of joy in painting religion as evil, you fail to realize that if there is no god, then that evil is coming from man himself. Your arguments in this thread are contradictory. I am not sure how you can argue that many religious people can do so many bad things while arguing that man is inherently good. If God is not making him bad, then man himself is.
Now, back to my point. Mans nature is to resist change he does not like. In this case, religious organizations are no different than monarchies and barons in history. Than the big tycoons and companies of the industrial revolution. Hell, no different than the NHLPA. Man, by his very nature, will fight to retain control. Your argument that organized religions will fight the abolition of religion only further shows that man is not the virtuous individual you claim.
Boy, you just love that moral high ground, dont you? There are bilions of people who are Christian, Jew, Muslim or Agnostic who are peaceful and only use words to get their point across. You are not remotely close to being special in this regard.
And no, I have never said you have no right to argue as loudly and strongly as anyone else with such strong faith. I am merely pointing out that you truely do not occupy any moral high ground.

wow...did it take you long to come up with this? Moral high ground? Isnt that something that theists choose to do? So what if theres millions of religious zealots who use words to get their point across? The issue is...is that point valid? Is it true? Can it be verified?
And thats where this started...with Scientology...a blatant lie developed by man...just like all of the other choices on the menu.
