Let’s Abolish Religion

According to Chapter 25 of Deuteronomy, if you’re in a fight and your wife attempts to help you by grabbing your adversary’s testicles, you should chop her hand off. That’s just one piece of evidence that religion does not make us better people, joked Charles Darwin descendent Matthew Chapman at last night’s Slate/Open to Debate formerly known as Intelligence Squared U.S. debate. I know it’s kind of cheap to poke fun at the Bible because it’s so easy, Chapman said to laughter during his opening remarks for the debate motion The World Would Be Better Off Without Religion.
