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.

Nem, come on man, that isn't even remotely true. 

Don't you see by saying such absolute statements, that you are acting like an extremist yourself? 

 

I'm not going to try and debate you over this because I know it never gets either person anywhere but I do hope that you see that it isn't as black and white as you make it out to be.

Why am i an extremist? Cause i'm saying religion is not ok? Ok then. Make the discrimination and killings stop. Then i got no problem. The thing is that can't happen. It's in their book and if they don't follow it they will go to "hell".

If you got a way out of that, by all means. I merely find life more precious than what a book says.
