Can the above post and image be removed? It's defamatory. Not to mention the people who committed those crimes were motivated by real things that pissed them off, crazy and unjust or not.

... there is no doubt that religion played in very large part in 9/11. I understand "real things" were partly to blame as well, but so was religion. Hence the picture.
Why don't you ask Jerffery Dahmer what he has to say about religion, and ignore the primary tenant of all religions - treat others as you would yourself. Or does religion only do bad? Anyways, I ask that all posts related to religion for or against be deleted please.

For example, an infinite set of numbers doesn't always contain every number. The set of numbers
{2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 ...} is an infinite set of numbers, yet it contains no odd numbers.
Even if there are an infinite number of parallel universes, it doesn't mean everything that could happen, has happened.
I don't think enough is known about this possible phenomenon to say this with any certainty. definitely a possibility, but not a certainty. who is to say what the "set" contains and doesn't contain?
lol

How dare you flagrantly parade reasoning and logic on Chess.com? I suggest you find a universe where it will be appreciated.
Don't worry, he's not guilty of reasoning, and logic, because his logic is all wrong. Deliberately not allowing something in an infinite set proves nothing because the infinite set of particals in the universe allows anything that is physically possible. Orangehonda was also wrong about me being GM Woodshover in another part of the universe because (as I said earlier) I don't think I would ever have been a GM even having been trained under the best of circumstances, just as most other people wouldn't have either. If you would have never had the ability to do something on Earth even under the best of training, there would not be another earth where you were able to do it either.
Actually, most people can reach a gm level if they train hard enough for long enough with nothing else going on. maybe not everyone can reach super-gm level, something like kasparov, but they would be able to reach gm.
LOL...omer, you definitely got a way about you.
Yeah, anyone can reach 2775, it takes talent like Kasparov et al to get that extra 25-50 points worth of strength.

There's also a universe where (nearly) everything is the same as ours except chess is only ever played with pieces made out of cheese. Sadly in this universe woodshover is allergic to cheese -- not the kind of allergic you're thinking of, if he ever so much as smells cheese on someone's breath it causes a rainstorm of fudge to happen somewhere on earth (even the underground parts). In this universe such "allergies" are common and such people identified and quarantined at birth, for even in such universes these people are considered very odd and something of a cruel joke played by god.
None the less, in said universe woodshover not only becomes World Champ in chess, he also has time to post nonsense on chess websites about it.
The End.
I wish it was possible to "like" on a coment

You just did.
I like Dawkins, and personally agree with him quite a lot that religion is a little silly and intellectionally untenable.
But I quite disagree with him that religion is the source of atrocities.
I suspect that it simply makes him uncomfortable when people arent as logically rigorous as he is when they have some dialogue about their world view, so he assumes that the consequence of this must be evil. Ironically (and somewhat humorously) empirical data does not seem to support his assumption.
I dont think people act based on some philosophical world view. And certainly not on some arbitrary ceremonial tradition. People act based on emotion and ethics (and i dont think that religion is actually in much control of a person's ethic). A person has a reduced respect for life when they have experienced too much death.
Actually the parallel universes idea didn't originate with Dawkins, and I've never read any of his books. I agree with you that religion isn't the source of atrocities. Though religion has sometimes been used to justify a lot of them. I know that atrocities would be committed religion or no.
