The thing about Islam (and Judaism and Christianity), is that you get a lot of great religious writings and texts that are great like : 'Treat people nicely' 'Be honest' 'Don't be a dickhead' obviously paraphrasing there a bit lol, but you get what I mean. But then things get poisoned with shit like : 'Unbelievers should be shunned/killed/feared/etc' 'You must follow this asinine illogical rule because reasons' 'Anyone who doesn't follow our very specific religious dogma is doomed to hell/damnation/death/whatever' 'OUR religious path is the only real way, everyone else is wrong'   After reading a vast amount of religious texts, I get the same schizophrenic impression from all of them. And often, just a bunch of arbitrary nonsense that seems like thinly veiled ravings of crazy religious leaders throughout history.

The main difference between religion and cultism is that one of them is accepted by societey, which makes it arguably more dangerous. It's very easy to justify your actions with teachings that are accepted by millions of other people.

We drive that even further by going one more step and are actually protecting these ideologies because reasons. That means extremeists are even more dangerous and more easily produced by that relgion because "What I am doing can't be bad because it is both condoned and protected by a whole society.

If we would just stop arbitrarily putting people on pedestals for what they believe we could make it a lot harder for people being radicalized by taking away a big part of their justification.

Not favorable, just like every other Religion. They are a cancer on humanity. The time where religion had it's uses is long gone. Only the downsides remain.

On the contrary. THEY are allucinating.

 

Though i must applaud your logic of "lots of people do it therefore it must be true". Strong reasoning there.

 

Religion is going to die, sooner or later. Mostly because it's a bunch of murderous lies and anyone with some proper education can see that.

That was never my logic, lol. I never said religion had it right. I simply told you billions of people practice a religions and to say it only brings about negativity is ludicrous.

It does only bring about negatives. It was a tool to control the masses and have them police themselves as control wasn't possible to exert any other way in ancient civilizations. Nowadays we have laws and police forces. Theres no upside to religion because all that it could do that is good is poisoned with racism and murderous rules.

So, no. Theres no good to religion.

All I can say is the Radical Muslims need to die a horrible death. But the good Muslims can live peacefully.

Sigh... no i'm not. And you don't even have an argument. Fool would be the one that discriminates and murders others in the name of a non-existant god based on a book written by old scribes whose objective was to control the masses to prevent chaos. If you think because it includes "be good" it excuses the "except in these situations"? You don't need a book to let you know you should be good.

Just as superstitious as any other religion.
