Why I hate religion

My high school IB biology teacher was forced to put a sticker on every textbook he issued us. The sticker read:

"This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."

The ignorant people who lobbied for this sticker were Christian creationists. There I was, supposedly in an advanced biology class, and I was being told by the Cobb County school district that the theory of evolution was on par with the batshit crazy idea of intelligent design. What a mockery of education!

Yes, evolution is a theory. Theories are supported by facts, not facts themselves.

Special relativity is a theory, but in FACT it helped build an atomic bomb that FACTUALLY killed thousands of Japanese civilians. Gravity is a theory, but in FACT I am held to the earth by it while the moon FACTUALLY controls our tides because of it.

Evolution has happened, is happening, and will continue to happen. If that blows God out of the water, he should have worked a lot harder to prove that it does not exist. Sending his delusional flock to assault logic and reason just won't cut it, especially since you can't exactly burn people who disagree with religion on the stake this day in age.

I am ashamed of Cobb County. I am ashamed of intelligent people who can still go to church after this. I am furious that religion wants to snuff out the flame of science. I want to understand the answers to the questions we all have about the nature of the universe. All religion wants is to give absolute answers that can never be questioned.

Why don't you question religion? Because religion tells you not to. Intelligently posed questions don't really help religion's case, so it is better if it just gives absolute answers and denies your right to question it.

Please open your eyes. Please tell people about science. It has saved more lives than God ever has, and has provided more answers than can be written in any Bible.
