129. How about the empirical observation that Christianity has been used to kill/control for CENTURIES
Hmmmm...let's see. Where to begin? Let's name a few instances of religion-caused ignornance and strife:

Crusades
Spanish Inquisition
Protestant Reformation
Mountain Meadows Massacre
Northern Ireland (ongoing)
Central Asian conflicts (ongoing)
Israel vs. their neighbors
etc.

I could go on-and-on. If religion lends to its followers intelligent thought and a love for logic, then why is it the underpinning for most of the world's woes since the inception of Western European monothesism?
