You guys tend to always point out the harm religion brings but never the goodness it can be accounted for.

 Goodness is in people, not religion

The madness religion can drive people to

I'm willing to bet that this guy would be bat crazy regardless of whether he was religious or not. Religion + People != crazy people, Religion + Crazy People = religious crazy people

The book of Matthew also contains the passage: "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."


Anyone else wondering what sins his right hand had "caused" him?!?!

Well i think it is well known that religion as a whole causes more problems than it solves... I for one am extremely glad that in the UK religion is rather second to most things... Anyone that claims that having religion is better than not having it is clearly brainwashed by the crap that they spout!

Religion has obviously brought numerous disasters, wars and such into this world but it also provides stability, safety, unison and hope for the common people and the country they are into.

Religion is neither a positive or negative force. For every positive example of the effects of religion there is a negative example. The same religion that preaches love thy neighbor says it is alright to genocide other people if they do not believe in the same god. Basically it is a large delusion that some people seem to need just to tolerate their miserable lives. Which unfortunately prevents many of them from rectifying their problems.

What cannot be argued is that mixing religion which is basically brain washing, and mental illness rarely has a positive outcome. Think about it someone who's grip on reality is tenuous at best being exposed to ideas about magical invisible beings watching them at all hours of the day, and another magical character that wants to burn them forever. Seriously thats like tossing napalm onto a lit match. They are already paranoid and terrified so its a good idea to encourage that.


Thank you for clearing that up for all of brainwashed morons.

 

What would we do without your wisdom?

@routs

Unison as long as they conform to what the religion dictates... For example, love thy neighbour... But if your neighbour happens to be homosexual it is perfectly fine to belittle them as they will burn in the fires of 'hell'

I find the whole thing very, very disturbing and hypocritical!

 I completely agree to that; but I didn't say that what each individual religion says bring unison; it's the feeling of having something in common and familiar like the language for example. Religions are certainly not fair or always right and just in the things the "teach" but they certainly hold back some people off doing some evil deeds (mostly out of fear for their God)

It would. Religion tends to be a conservative thing. By "ridding" all of religion sience and ethics would make a huge jump foreward - we don´t need the bible for our civilization anymore.

But that may not be the right thread to discuss.


Like I said,

"So by ridding religion, everything will be nice and peachy; happy sunshine and rainbows throughout: Crooked politicians will be straightened, armed forces will cease to exist, racism will become extinct, drug cartels will become bankrupt, just crime in general will hit a WORLDWIDE low?"

While I agree that there are a few "Bible-thumpers" out in the world, they don't consist the overall population of people who have a certain faith. I mentioned them earlier, but even homosexuals still stick to their particular belief.

Too group every person into one big category and labeling them the same is asinine. That's like me looking at weapons still being produced and being said that science only brings mayhem and destruction, and advances being made in science comes through the cost of animal cruelty; both being ethically wrong.

You see, there are two sides to every coin.


 Well, you didn´t exactly understand my post I think. I didn´t generalize anything, I said there are positive things about ridding religion. That´s all. I still think, while most people are not as fanatic as the man mentioned above many of those people take their religion too serious and as the one and only truth - which is obviously hurting ethical "evolution" and progress.
