You obviously lack reading comprehension as my original comment was clearly conveying (as my next comment elucidated) the FACT that people will abuse other's religious beliefs for their own person gain to which I gave 2 very real and very lethal examples. And the memes point (which I was criticizing) was "how dare they say that religious leaders can be evil and self-serving!". And I don't need an "out", you responded to my comment saying "NOT ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE!!!!" and my second comment pointed out the irony (or rather hypocrisy) that when it comes to religion this site screams "NOT ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE!!!" but when it comes to race and nationality they're perfectly willing to paint with a more broad brush. The idea that that is, in some way, a prepared "out" when it was a deliberate reply to your specific comment shows that you lack logical thinking.
Did I say that all (or even the majority) of religious people were power hungry tyrants? No. I stated a fact that power hungry people, sociopaths, and even psychopaths will use religion to gain money, power, and influence. I swear, this site is all "religion = 100% good!" and when you criticize that they jump down your throat with "NOT ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE!!!!!" completely ignoring the irony of that statement with this sites hatred of muslims, jews, blacks, and indians.
You mean to tell me that people would ACTUALLY enter into a religious organization, rise through the ranks, make it to the top, purely so they gain wealth and power and dictate people's lives through their religious beliefs? No one would ever do that in the real world. I mean, you'd never hear any real life story of a religious leader convincing all his followers to kill themselves, or a religious leader convincing his followers to go on a murderous rampage for 1400 years. (Obvious sarcasm)
It's alright, I found a solution to your problem
You didn't say anything about "colonizing" the moon in your first comment, you said we lost the ability to send people to the moon, that was what I was criticizing. We still have the ABILITY to send people to the moon, we just lack REASON to do so. As for colonizing mars, yes we are a long time away from that, step one is: get people to mars for a short visit.
I can't tell you how many people, including members of my own family, who I've pissed off by saying that women should be no where near the military (or police and firefighters for that matter). War is the province of men, and those who challenge that will be the first to find out.
