2) No dragons in the world.
Probably more but I just woke up.
Though looking at what religion has done to this planet I wouldn't be surprised if it just looked at us and left again. You know what else is an abomination? Eating shrimp, or wearing two types of fabric at the same time. The Bible is outdated and was merely written by men to give men power over women and is now used for nothing more than as an excuse to be really shitty to other people. This, and all other Abrahamic religions, need to die off before society can progress. Where are the atheist wars? Oh wait, there aren't any, but there are plenty of religious wars. Why? Because you people don't believe you have any responsibility over your own actions, you just do whatever you feel like and go "Oh, god said so, it's fine."
@zicit
There really exist christians who don't use their religion as an excuse to hate other people.

B) Most of Leviticus was hygiene laws and yes, the law against homosexuality, but even that was to protect the tribe's interests. Two strong breeding men that refused to have children? That's no way for the tribe to gain the numbers to survive long-term.
C) Separation of church and state:

Even worse, doing so, thinking you're so better than others and that you're so righteous that you can judge them in place of God, is one of the seven deadly sins : Pride, considered as the most serious and biggest of the deadly sins, because it is regarded as the source of every other sin.
I'm not even religious, and even I know that, step up you christian game, for Christ's sake!

Also, I'm pretty sure the Bible calls being left-handed just as much of a sin as being homosexual.
I like to refer to some other crazy stuff the Bible reminds us of as being a sin, such as crop rotation, forcing animals to work on a Sabbath, wearing clothes of two materials, etc.
Lots of fun stuff.

"4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Either way "I can't do that because of my religion" is fine, but "You can't do that because of my religion" means you're a cunt.

in the very core of the human being... Even if
you were atheist, you also judge people, saying
they should dissappear, die, or simply not exist...
And mot humans think they're doing things right...
Religion is not bad, humans are bad, religion is
just treated badly because that's what humans
use as a shield...
However, I don't agree with you when you say those traits are in the very core of the human being, but that is just a philosophical point of view, and therefore off-topic.
Oh, and @greydragon412 :
James 4:11-12 : Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
1 Corinthians 5:12-13 : For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” (Already quoted that one earlier)
Romans 2:1 : Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.
John 8:7 : And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
All in all, it's what Zyzzyzus said : you can judge only if yourself are sinless, and you can only judge other Christians. But nobody is sinless, so judging implies that you think you're so righteous and sinless that you're as good as God, as I said earlier, and is the sin of Pride. Only God can judge for he's the only one righteous enough to do so.
And awesome, the best way to find out how to counter something is by using it and seeing what's thrown at you.

Here it seems okay though. I think that quote mainly applies to less civil environments :P
