er... what's the difference between you wanting to bulldoze religion and some religions wanting to bulldoze wicca or witches? hate is hate. i don't see how adding yours to the mix will accomplish anything.
I dont hate the fictional characters or stories, I hate the people who use them to further their own selfish ends. Let's get that out of the way, because its almost comical when people accuse me of hating religion, and then go on to start telling me how much Jesus loves me. So, I define religion in a more all encompassing fashion. Oh, I'd bulldoze those too; my loathing for religion is universal.
So, if I hate the Nazi's my hate would be unjustified?

Sometimes it takes raw, intense emotion to further ones goals. Don't write off emotion just so fast. Also, I would like to draw distinction between hate and blind hate. We shouldn't let emotion overtake us so much that we write off critical thinking, but at the same time you are not a robot. Though, this is just playful

There is no such thing as an omnipotent bulldozer.
P.S It would accomplish the destruction of religion, obviously. While religion isn't just buildings and statues, these very things have been used throughout history to give religion an air of superiority. The medieval cathedrals were meant to inspire terror and piety in the common man. Maybe the spell can be broken with the loss of these buildings, inspiring a sort of cognitive dissonance (If god is omnipotent why couldn't he protect his buildings from the super bulldozer?) in some of the slaves. Food for thought.
P.P.S : I am jack's complete lack of surprise.

Have you read Being and Nothingness by Sartre? I highly recommend it to really understand that phrase. If you have, I would love to discuss it. Chuck got many of his ideas from both that novel, and Nausea. You might understand my emotion argument more if you understand that phrase. Actually, you've inspired me to read it again.
