the rather mildly harmful "fear of hell"
The Typical Mind Fallacy is strong with this one.
remove themselves from the genepool
It's a good thing that isn't a mortal sin! Oh no wait.
In what way are you attempting to counter my argument?
By 'harmful' I mean detrimental to procreation probability. I assume that highly fanatic religious people are likely to be in an environment with members of the opposite sex who are relatively equal in level of "indoctrination" and therefore are able to reproduce. though some religious practices are arguably detrimental to reproduction ability.
By 'remove themselves from the genepool' I mean, of course failure to produce offspring.
But please do let me know if you meant something else entirely....
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Of course, for "every Monday", the last one should have been dated July 22-28. *cough*
