I'm not literally saying he thinks religion is responsible for puppies and glitter. It's hyperbole.

That said, it isn't far off from the attitude from that poster. I read these posts as satire. And pretty good satire, too. Makes a solid point. Yes, religion leads to some people doing great things. It also leads to assholes doing shitty things.

Couple people did make that point in the "original" thread. And who made you the decider of what people can post as OPs? If people don't want to read them, they'll drop like a rock.
