when the zenith of their religion was 1492, about the same time that Columbus set out for India and their religion's been on the decline ever since, well 500 plus years of decline and they are still wondering where the nadir is located it is indeed time to lose that religion.

It's time for that religion to cease as a player on the world stage and it's time for those adherents of that faith to walk away and look at another path. One that actually embraces humanity instead of trying to destroy it.

Islam is one of the world's cancers, and like all cancers it can't be reformed it has to be eradicated along with every other cancerous belief in fairy tales that incites people to hate the members of their society who don't conform.



Note to Jury: this is an opinion of a non-believer in the Atheists Forum safe haven, which means one should expect a non-believer to despise and/or outright reject religion in this forum and to comment so regularly.

I do not despise those adherents of faith who've been led to believe something that's not true, my concern for them is real that they can see there is no god and being taught to hate because of something that is make-believe is a true injustice.

I don't just despise islam I despise them all as control methods to harness individuals into a belief system that benefits those in power among the religion hierarchy. However, this particular article was about islam so I am addressing my thoughts towards islam. It doesn't make me a bigot against muslims it means I don't like religions, any of them. I will also express my distaste for christianity in articles about christian religions. Thank you for your consideration.
