That is a start. Gene, think for a bit. You have people of all stripes telling you that you at best being obstinate. Has organized religion done bad things throughout history? So you want it to simply go away. Well, of course it has, as have governments. Can I then argue from an anarchist's position that we should abandon all government?
I presume you will respond something along the lines of, "Well government is needed, whereas religion is not." So let me rebut that one here and you can proceed from there, obviously there is a need for religion as it has been around as long as governments have. Clearly, many of mankind has a need for both.
I am still waiting on my overwhelming evidence by the way.
