I thought I'd drop in... 8-) I do not view religion as a hoax, I simply
don't believe in religion at all... Any individual or organisation is not
needed to conduct your own life, existence on this planet...

I understand this and it has its possible is not probable points, Still
why bother trying to nut this out? Surely it is a wasted effort?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Individuals...

faith is really only a personal preference and/or opinion... Basically!
>only do I condemn your beliefs but I also am appalled by religous
>fanatics who are not willing to accept evolution. Why cannot

There is no lie here, There shouldn't even be a debate!?

See, simply opinions... 8-)
