Quote:That was your previous question and my more than adequate answer. Nowhere have I suggested banning religion.
You responded to questions about what you would ban with a reference to what is already illegal. Given your other demands to ban religious clothing it obviously does little to clarify your position. It just raises more questions about your agenda.
Quote:I note that of any questions I've ever asked you there's been not one head on answer.
Perhaps you should stop asking such stupid questions then. At the very least you could make them about the arguments I have actually made rather than demanding I demonstrate the usefulness of spirituality or some other such nonsense.

I am happy that each person should be able to make up their own mind on most issues, including religion!
However, they should do so without affecting the rights of others to their own beliefs, whatever they are perceived to be.
That said, they should also do so, without insisting that others believe as they do, nor should they do so by inflicting physical or mental harm on others!
Personally, I am agnostic on the question of a god or gods, although I can see some wisdom in the ethos (guiding beliefs) of some of the various religions.
However, it is also true that some of the human side of the various religions has had and continue to have, many failings and frankly we would do well to move on, from those imperfections.
In general, I would see some religious aspects being relegated, as the human population becomes more educated over time, but some aspects will stay, as the human condition seems to need some outside source of hope!
Thanks PN. That was a remarkably lucid effort.
Quote:the poll was doubtless fixed as it is in a communist dictatorship
It was a global poll, independent of the cuban government. Why do you have such a problem with cuban people being happy? It is almost a stereotype of them, and stereoptypes usually have some basis in reality.
the whole taking to the boats and dying in the attempt to get away is usually a clue for me that the place isnt really all that happy. Actions will always speak louder than polls!
