Does that 'like' button actually work?
@iA have their say on the like & retweet buttons.

Anonymous asked: hi, r you religious at all?
I am not, though I was when I was young.
Whilst I don’t think science and religion are incompatible, I personally feel that a book of both questionable and unverifiable (not to mention contradictory) information that was written in a language I don’t speak, more than a thousand years before I was born, translated by people who were not peer reviewed (which have been subsequently revised to modify the message of some of the passages) is the best place to get my philosophies from. I speak mostly of the Bible and Torah as I don’t know whether the Bhagavad Vita or the Quran have been retranslated multiple times.
I think that religious texts have some interesting philosophical arguments and conundrums and some interesting stories, but they neither constitute proof of a deity nor fully relevant to current society. It’s a personal choice and I respect that others might think and/or feel otherwise.
I also feel that religion has been a major catalyst for war over the ages and is often used as a tool to marginalise people who are different, especially in times of difficulty, as a means to maintain a status quo (look to the recent rise in Neo-Nazi political power in Greece as a current example of this). I’m not saying that Atheists/Agnostics are not violent and wouldn’t get into wars, but religion is far too easy to abuse as a catalyst for war.
