Fact is, religion is, always was and always will be delusion. Newton lived at a time when people were finally starting to challenge religion for the nonsense it is. Religion was created at a time when people could not understand the world around them and so created myths to explain what they saw. Religion is rooted in those that ignorance, myth and superstition. There is plenty of real evidence that shows religion is false. There is absolutely nothing to support it. History, archaeology and even the bible itself are full of examples that contradict contradict religious claims. So, yes, if you "believe", you are delusional. If you think otherwise, it's your responsibility to provide real proof that there is in fact a god. Until then, religion is nonsense that's all too often used to justify bigotry, hatred and violence. It also causes some people to avoid taking responsibility for themselves or to deny proper medical care in favour of "faith". That is but an small example of the nonsense that is religion. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
