how?

Since when do priests in general commit crimes and evil deeds?

Since when did priests claim they literally speak with God verbally?

Again, ill educated and not very bright at all.

And again, you're suggesting that if the madman did speak with God, that God is evil.
Well that's different to debating whether religion (belief or non belief) is wrong.

Clearly doesn't understand the concept of different religions and different people. You can't lump everyone in one category.

Praying in a church is not claiming to literally have a conversation with God.
If you think "praying" is literally "talking to God" then you are silly. Plenty people pray, not just priests. It can be a form of meditation.

Even if that was true, how does it represent all religious people?
Is this generalisation still not getting through to you?

And one point. Getting rid of religion will stop people like the madman in the supermarket how exactly?

If someone is criminally insane and is going to kill someone, they'll do it regardless of if there's a church down the road or not.

They'll just find another excuse to make themselves feel better about their evil act.

After all the tosh you've come out with today? Don't make me laugh.

Read the rest of my post.

There's a BIG difference between praying to God and talking to God, where a voice talks back telling you to kill people.

Do you understand?
