Afghan schoolgirls are weeping as they finish sixth grade, knowing their education is over. Under Taliban rule, they are unlikely to ever step foot in a classroom again.

    I do wish to disparage people’s spiritual beliefs, so I’ll just say that religion is the greatest evil ever created by humankind.

      Was just about to say. Fuck organized religion, fuck tolerating bigotry and intolerance in the name of acceptance and pluralism. Religion is something to be overcome not assimilated.

      IMO religion shouldn’t exist in 21st Century.

      We have machines going beyond solar system, scientific evidence that earth revolves around Sun , ability to interact with people on the other side of globe instantly and more…

      None of these things have religion ever predicted. And sometimes even being grossly wrong.

      So you’re telling me that killing hundreds of thousands of people maybe even millions over the years in the name of some character which no one has any physical evidence exists and the people that follow along subconsciously know it’s fake however they are too afraid of not having some fictional guiding light is bad??? You’re wrong, Jesus saves!!!¡¡!¡!!! /s

      It’s control without a face. If you think it’s evil then modern society should be hell in the shadows.

        Modern society could not have formed without religion. So yeah, it’s hell.
