Why is that sad? The history of our species is one of discarding old ideas that prove invalid and replacing them with ideas that are proven more correct.

We no longer treat infections with bleeding ... we use antibiotics. Take a good serious read on your authorless books and you will find 'god' praising acts that today we call genocide, torture, rape, and murder. What is possible relevance to human's living in 2005 of nonsense written more than 4,000 years ago? Of what possible relevance to human's is a god, or his son, that were so ignorant or cruel as to not reveal penicillin? How many hundreds of millions of innocent children have died painful deaths for that act of omission.

Should religion be rebuked for hypocritically proclaiming how precious life is while ignoring the fact that it has been responsible for a huge percentage of the acts of genocide? YES!
