ScorpioBites Because humans are dumb, dangerous neurotic animals and when they get stupid ideas in their heads they go batty and start hacking each other up into little pieces or shooting each other. It's dangerous when humans ignore fact based evidence and live in a fantasy world instead. It's important for ours species to stay in reality, it's important we don't use faith as a fundamental basis of how we approach life and make our decisions. We can't answer everything we don't know with 'god did it', not when the real answers are out there. It would be alright if humans weren't psychotic, genocidal maniacs, but we are!!!! Human rights, fact based evidence is how we should make our decisions, not by basing our decisions on the whim from the of some homicidal, invisible boogeymen who lives in the sky who might punish or reward us depending on his mood or whether we follow his ancient, bronze age laws or not.
We don't trial people by ordeal to see whether the gods are on the defendant's side or not, we trial them by the available evidence, so why the hell are people still clinging to this ancient old practise? It's nonsense and if people aren't told it's nonsense they wont learn and they wont improve and humanity needs to keep getting better, so that it wont simply slide back into the kind of ignorant mind frame we had during the middle ages. An example of such behaviour is this guy in Africa who recently cut his balls off because some witch doctor told him it would bring him great rewards, and while not as horrific, it's no different than little Jenny believing god helped her find her keys.
If somebody is eating dirt you tell them not too because they can get sick, and that same logic applies to somebody who thinks a divine being helped them find their keys, favouring her while ignoring little children who are dying of cholera, or are being rape and tortured by their own family members.
