The examples you choose to support your theory are HORRIBLE.
If this was an essay, the teacher would believe you were challenged.

So is capitalism...

So is any -ism.

People have been killed for ANY reason you can think of. So do you hate everything?

Anything that draws a line between too people is a motive for people to kill one another... Humans are stupid... If its not religion, its skin colour, if its not skin colour, its wealth, if its not wealth, political beliefs...

See where I'm going with it... Unfortunately religion has had a lot of that in its past... but fortunately now we can look back in history and see how terrible it was...

I also don't respect it because it preaches false hope, and preaches things for which it has no evidence. That is the other side of why I don't respect it. But I still don't respect if for the death part.

Well what do you believe? I'm curious. The existence of God is possible. You cannot confirm or deny it.

Correct, but blown out of proportion, since we know that parents do it.

As I said that is only the half of it. If socialism or capitalism gave false hope, false truth, and people were killed in the name of it, then yes I don't respect it.

How do you know that religion gives false hope? Have you died and seen what comes next?

Well maybe were just wrong, maybe it makes magical clones of the teeth. You cannot say I'm wrong because its unknowable.

I cannot give proof for the tooth fairy. I did not say that example in particular, I said examples.

Ok I'm atheist and even I gotta say that movie is pretty bad... It's like the da vinci code.

Hmmm. Sounds interesting. I like thought provoking movies. I'll look it up sometime.

Zeppie, religion is vague. It is what you make of it. If you want hope, it gives hope. If you want guidance, it gives guidance. Doesn't seem false to me at all. That is as real as it gets.
