Where is the evidence to support this? You need hard evidence, not someone's speculations. For instance, you need to show where humans existed for some period before they "invented" spirituality. There is no such evidence. Every archeological finding shows primitive man was spiritual, and this attribute has always existed. I don't understand why we keep having to go over this same point again and again.
They raised 1000 atheist babies and none of them came up with god. Some of them were afraid of the boogy man but someone had to tell them about the boogy man. Turns out they talked about it on Scooby Doo. They also heard about Santa at school and the parents didn't want the 1000 kids to spoil the lie for other children who are in the process of being programmed and believe it or not, none of them made the leap from Santa to God.
Then they told all 1000 of them when they turned 18 about god. How many do you think bought it at the age of 18? Believe it or not, more than I would have expected. People are still very innocent, gullible, naive, impressionable at the age of 18 so more than 50% fell for it but the numbers weren't as high as when you brainwash someone from a very young age.
So since we don't come out of our moms poontangs instinctively knowing about god, it is deduced that some one person must have come up with the concept and spread it around. All other possibilities are highly unlikely. And there is research that shows all animals have a healthy fear of the unknown and our human brains have a big imagination and we can come up with some pretty wacky stuff like boogy men, witches, ghosts and gods.
We have believed in the boogy man since the beginning of man. That's a fact. A healthy fear of the unknown. It kept us alive. So by your thinking, the boogy man must be real because we have always believed.
Anyways, I would like to know how many people you guys think atheists have killed in the history of man and how many you guys have killed. I want to see when you guys pass us. If you don't at least give us the numbers you believe to be true, we'll never get to say that one day religious people have passed atheists when it comes to murder/death/kill. Every day a jew kills a muslim or visa versa you get closer to our supposed number.
Which I deny even is true by the way. You guys have murdered way more than us, but for fun, let me know what our number is and what your number is. Because in the last 100 years you guys have murdered probably millions to our 10 maybe?
