Stumbled upon two animations today, which I found quite fascinating:

1. The spread of religion over 2000 years.

Amazing how unimportant Christianity was for most of our history. Sometimes I wish we would have kept it like that. Then again I actually loathe most religions - they just attract too much hatred, superstition and extremism. One would assume that people in the 21st century should be a little too intelligent to fall for something like that. Don't get me wrong, I believe in ethics and logical thinking. But I don't need stories of water to wine, god(s), angels and Noah with his Ark to convince me that charity is a good thing and to make me not murder my neighbor.

2. 5000 years of history: Empires in the Middle East.

Don't think religions spread hatred and cause wars? Well, just have a look at this animation here. Want to guess how many of those empires were founded on (mis-)believe and hatred? How many deaths were caused in innumerable wars? I don't. Wake up, don't believe the lies and make up your own mind. The time for religions is long overdue.

Oh and please... don't even bother telling me about creationism - that's just ridiculous and an offense to your intellect. For me all those creationism-believers pretty much prove that we descend from apes indeed.
