Couldn't take supposed christian postings on facebook anymore. [View all]

My response to all the hate spewed by Christian's in my contact list....

Scholars prove what we have all observed:
Studies suggest that religious dogma can override our natural tendency toward empathy. That's right people who are the most religious have the least empathy to their fellow man. My assumption is that they are literally gleeful because they are equating bad fortune with god's punishment. Says something about exactly how much religion has failed.
