Exterminate religion.

We can't erdadicate religion because no human being would be left standing. Humans would be extinct. Pro: "One of the main problems with religion is it promotes tribalism, this is so obvious I don't think this needs evidence to back it up unless my opponent deems it necessary. Impact, tribalism often leads to tensions, conflicts, and wars." This is true. And the religion of Atheism has caused more death in modern history than all other religions combined. The Religion forum of DDO is proof. Atheists make up 5% of the American population, yet they make up 90% of the Religion forum on DDO. -- Pro: "All three have ridiculous double standards within their religion texts." This includes Atheism. One of the core arguments for the New Atheist Movement has been "Darwinian Evolution". Before it was pushed so hard in the 2000's, Atheists were very rare. Darwinism and the "Survival of the fittest" was the key component to Nazi Arianism. It is also why Atheism has a very serious problem with heavy sexism. Adolph Hitler believed that the human gene pool could be improved by using selective breeding similar to how farmers breed superior cattle strains. He referenced Darwinism regularly. "Darwinism by itself did not produce the Holocaust, but without Darwinism, neither Hitler nor his Nazi followers would have had the necessary scientific underpinnings to convince themselves and their collaborators that one of the worlds greatest atrocities was really morally praiseworthy." -Richard Weikart: "From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethic" Darwinism was and is still simply a theory. Large sects of Atheists are convinced of the theory being true. This is similar to Christians who are sure that the Bible is right. Neither witnessed either phenomenon in real time, thus both are faith based positions. "The stronger must dominate and not mate with the weaker, which would signify the sacrifice of its own higher nature. Only the born weakling can look upon this principle as cruel, and if he does so it is merely because he is of a feebler nature and narrower mind; for if such a law did not direct the process of evolution then the higher development of organic life would not be conceivable at all." -Adolph Hitler: "Mein Kampf" -- And this same principle and mindset has led to rampant sexism within the Atheist community. Katie Engelhart ascribes the misogyny in New Atheism to the movement"s exclusively male leadership, who also happen to be men notorious for their sexism. Buzzfeed"s Mark Oppenheimer detailed many accounts of sexism, sexual assault and coercion in his expose on the atheism movement. "Some women say they are now harassed or mocked at conventions, online attacks, and sexually assaulted by aggressive men." http://qz.com... http://the-orbit.net... -- Pro: "Praying instead of solving problems." Very few Christians adhere to any such thinking. This is the equivalent to saying Atheism has a murder problem because of Joseph Stalin. -- Pro: "The average twelve year old can figure out that evolution and creationism contradict each other." By evolution Pro means Darwinian Evolution. Variation of species is a fact. Hooved hyenas becoming 80,000 pound whales is neither testable, measurable, or observable and does not meet the bare minimum of the scientific method. It also contradicts the fossil record and the Cambrian explosion, also excluding paleantologist finds of giant humans in this same record. Nevertheless, even if darwinism were 100% factual, there is nothing that says a god couldn't have created the Darwinian system to give randomness to his creation rather than hand picking each quality. -- Pro: "Same goes for biblical history versus generic history." Define "Biblical history". Many Christians take stories from the OT as allegories because Yeshua referenced Noah, Lot, Jonah, etc as allegories for the end of days and his ressurection. Every story Yeshua told was allegorical in the NT. -- Pro: "If we continue to think the Earth is flat, about 6,000 years old, and other contradictory ideas to science, we will miss out on many scientific discoveries." I know no Christians or Muslims in my life who believe the above proposition. (Job 26:7) "He spreads out the heavens over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing." Pro: "So, instead of fixing the sour event, we pray for forgiveness for imaginary misdeeds." I know no Christians or Muslims in my life who adhere to any such ideological construct. Pro: "Therefore, we repeat our mistakes not learning and blaming God for our problems." (The same as above) -- Pro: "Maybe God will save us." (Global climate change) Nope. No one will save it. (2 Peter 3:10) "The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the Earth will be laid bare.
