How is new earth creationism a more goofy belief than transubstantiation?

33. Because they do try to force those beliefs on everybody else.

I've come to the conclusion that religion can be not just nonsensical, but downright dangerous. Not all the time, and not every place of worship is dangerous, but religion does create the conditions for making people believe not just in nonsense, but the kind of nonsense that causes them to override basic moral instincts and go out to actively harm others, while believing wholeheartedly that what they're doing is "righteous".

We're fortunate in that here in the U.S. and the western world, we've managed to turn the volume down on the religious batshittery, compared to where it was in centuries past. Try going to Pakistan, or Afghanistan, or Iran, or Saudi Arabia - those are examples of places where if you deny, criticize or mock the predominant religion, they will KILL you. Make no mistake. There are plenty of fundy Christians who want that over here. They want to execute atheists, and they're frustrated because the rest of America won't let them do it. But they're always looking for new ways to seize power and impose their batshit on the rest of us by force.
