I am well aware that most people think relegion is a good thing. But facts and reality don't matter to people in that regard, they have their believes (probably tought by their parents) and I am not going to change that.
And I didn't say those people are stupid, they are just irrational and believe in imaginary things. They can believe in God and miracles all day long, that is fine by me, but don't call it facts or rational. You can pray all day for the miracle that will make LO as fast as nano. It won't happen. I am sure.
But I also think there are a lot of bright people in FOSS and science who don't believe in superstion, for sure more than in the general population. Go read Linus' blog and his comments in there and find out where he stands for yourself.
I know that the net result of all religions on this planet is utterly detrimental to mankind (how many wars and genocides have/had strong religous aspects?). So the world would be a much better place without them. Human beings in general are hard wired for compassion, love and help etc. We need money- and power-grabbing religions for nothing. Being guided by the wisdom of your fellow man, facts, reality, by science and by lessons learned from our history would be a much better thing for mankind than hypocritical false religions.

Over and out (for real) I know you won't agree and tell me how wrong I am and that is fine. I won't come back here to these comments. This discussion is off topic anyways. There will be no LO miracles.
