    if you were born in Pakistan the chances are you’ll be a Muslim
    If you were born in Israel you’ll be a Jew, India a sheikh or Hindu, one part of Northern Ireland a catholic the other a Protestant and you will be taught that your god is the only true god and everyone else is a infidel and sinner, so here’s a thought , if you got rid of all the science books and scientists, and all the religious books and places of prayer, a 1000 years from now science would be rediscovered but all religion would be dead

    I could happily live in a world without religion but I get that people have faith for so many different reasons. People can believe what they want so long as they leave me be to not believe.... and in fairness, most do. It’s just a minority of zealots who cause the problems when most folk, it seems to me, just want to get along.

    I can’t understand why such a large percentage of the population believes what they’re told in a comic.

    Religion isn’t the problem they all basically say the same thing.

    The problem is man adapts religion in order to control people and to suit there own agenda.

    So called Christians did a lot worse than Isis during the crusades.

    I guess it’s sadly ironic that IS who hate the West so much, mostly killed fellow Muslims :(

    I'll cite the Harry Potter and Marvel Universe as evidence of it being easily done, with fantastical storylines...
