The religious cults that took money off people i.e. The Catholic church paid people to do it - it wasn't inspired by religion, it was inspired by the persons natural gift and money. Artists have got to eat.

The word I used was contributed, not inspired. That can be in the form of patronage, commission, or inspiration. Like say for example the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Fact is a great deal of Rennaisance art was inspired by, on the subject of, or directly commissioned by the church. And that is just talking Christianity, we could go on to discuss the art of eastern religions as well, mandalas and such.

Not to disagree with your point. But religion has also greatly contributed to our arts and culture throughout antiquity to current times.

Atheist. Religion has only caused death and violence and kept us from evolving as human beings.

Is that why there are no atheists in foxholes?

The good thing about science is that it's true wheter or not you believe in it.

Actually I chose to remove the post I wrote because this is a can of worms I have opened before and I realized that you cant talk Politics or Religion without someone getting hurt.

No need to worry about that Grim... those that have reached that point can just contact PP for his special Xanax laced snus

It always opens a can of worms because someone wants to spin some wacky idea off as proof of existance. Morals exist so so does god? Everyones looking for an answer and sometimes looking for that answer means you follow a train of thought that is completely illogical because you like the sound of it. I'd rather there be people who listen to weird batshit insane people debate about religion with the most obscure arguements ive ever heard than have all those people be these dumbshit kids my age that talk about "swag" and "yolo" though, so i guess i can't complain too much. The fact that people think they will be punished for their wrongdoing is probably the reason a lot of people arent serial killers.
