Y I am not coming out in defense of the foundation, it to me is no more needed than religion.
You however fall from that mountain top after that post.
Now not pulling your leg I unable to grasp your thought patten, had thought maybe it is above my understanding.
But no, not the case.
Never heard or remember hearing of a war that did not see God, different ones sometimes , promising victory to both sides.
There is the heart of my view, no God may equal one humanity.

Religion causes wars i think is a for gone conclusion. One teetering on the edge of war is the two types of muslims. One has trouble living with the other, that has got to be religion.
It once happened here, burials for a certain groups, were separated.
One group in particular were even facing the opposite direction, to everyone else, and far removed altogether.
So you can't say religion doesn't cause problems.
A free ride at the tax payers expense needs serious overall.
Leaders of these organizations have disgraced themselves, hopefully to a point of no return.

Dear David,

<<but unfortunately many of those people think their particular imaginary friend in the sky or their particular version of it, wants them to.>>

Then they must be idiots!

But I do wonder how many such idiots and nut-cases actually exist, I think that their number is limited, that most are pretenders.

<<Many conflicts on the planet are demarked by religious preference.>>

Many conflicts on the planet are demarked by religious pretence.

The preference of those pretenders is for their national/ethnic group, not for God.

Yuyutsu,

Twin Towers - Suicide bombers - Abortion Clinic murders - political atrocities such as the situation with gays in Uganda and a long list I don't feel obliged to elaborate on. All for an imaginary god.

Calling people idiots for following the dictates of nature and nurture is, well, idiotic.

Education is the way to go, therefore there is the AFA.

Dear David,

<<Education is the way to go, therefore there is the AFA.>>

I agree.

If people can be such idiots to think of God in that way, as if He wants them to fight one another and carry all those other stupid actions you mentioned, then they better be atheists, then perhaps they need that phase of atheism to cleanse their mind of all those false and primitive notions of gods.

Once they go through that phase, they may finally have a chance to come closer to God in earnest.

Thank you for your great work. Perhaps I underestimated the importance of the AFA in the service of God!

Yuyutsu,

Let me assure you, not many folk come closer to any of the imaginary gods as a result of the existence of the AFA.

I think we might leave it there with that thought.

David
