Religious organizations have provided food, shelter and aid to communities through out human history. There is a reason why one can find a church or cathedral on the town square. Religious institutions have been central to the development of civilizations. <br /><br />Mostly anti-theists can only see the Crusades and "witch-hunts" and fail to see the achievements in art, architecture, literature, scientific discovery, university systems, and systems of clinics and hospitals that has been created in the name of religion. [Any hospital with "Saint" in its name, was founded by some Catholic religious order or another.] Religious organizations have providing basic food, shelter and aid to communities through out human history. <br /><br />BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-89118213754592156212015-05-05T14:23:05.612-04:002015-05-05T14:23:05.612-04:00"A tad too tongue-in-cheeky?"

(Ex., Carrie's mom) They never look at, say, the deeply Christian abolitionists like William Wilberforce. Or anti-Nazi dissidents like Bonhoeffer. <br /><br />Also, why do science and religion have to be in conflict? And <i>why</i> must they be treated as two different systems of belief? Science is the study of the natural world while religion is the adding of meaning to the natural world. Science explains the how, religion explains (or at least attempts to) the why.<br /><br />"Moreover, the anti-religion crowd loves to forget that the Soviets were atheists and opposed religion. They saw science as the founding principle of modern society. And they killed tens of millions of people."<br />That annoys me, too.<br />Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453591141757808708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-48593188727430795662015-05-05T13:49:15.020-04:002015-05-05T13:49:15.020-04:00A tad too tongue-in-cheeky?A tad too tongue-in-cheeky?AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-68305309706914121492015-05-05T13:32:47.262-04:002015-05-05T13:32:47.262-04:00"This just in, Mike Huckabee is running for e..."This just in, Mike Huckabee is running for el Hefe.

And the inevitable comments about the Crusades and abortion doctors murdered in the '80[s comes up. Yeah, it's not "religion" that is the problem. It's just humans doing bad stuff...and in the case of ISIS, they do it in the name of Islam now, today, at this moment.

The London and NY systems are the same age, but London's system runs a million times better. I think the reason is that NY's subway system was built by several different private railway barons for the benefit of the masses. Then the city/state took them over and consolidated them under the MTA. I think London's system was built as a city/government project to begin with and is better thought out.BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-67960949164770229152015-05-05T10:52:35.004-04:002015-05-05T10:52:35.004-04:00Critch - I love London too and I will definitely g...Critch - I love London too and I will definitely go back.
