It's one thing to be anti-religion or whatever; but the problem is that some of the smartest/best people were and are devout believers. You're gonna tell me that MLK Jr is a pos idiot? Or a scammer scamming the most vulnerable because he has no conscience? So before you claw back your statement, i'll just say that you're painting with such a broad stroke that your statements/views are meaningless at best and i'll just leave it at best.
- foobar1962 3y ago@iou never said anything that suggested "anti-religion" and only commented about gullibility. The best place to get "God told me to do it" working was a defence will be in a Church. The "smartest/best" can be gullible too.
