yeah. saw that Richard Dawkins guy, he puts up a pretty good argument for it. doubt its ever gonna happen though, it's faith, u can't just make it go away

People would find something else to discriminate, segragate, and stereoype by.

Many people find relgion comforting, many elderly and lonely people and it is a good help to them. I think we are right to have religion, its how you follow it is the question. No one has to follow it if they dont want, you have a choice and you also have a choice on how to live your life. If people want to worship god, let them do it as long as they are not hurting others.

religion's for fag enablers

I don't find it comforting, I find it annoying. Plus I agree with the original poster.

youre damn right the world would be better without religion.more people have been killed in the name of religion down thru the ages then for any other reason.look at all the religions today causing trouble---muslims,christians,catholics,protestants,jew,
etc.even in our own country some fuckup like Bush can use his religion as an excuse to invade and kill other people.

how does a religion question turn into something political??

why don't you better educate yourself before you go bad mouthing presidents--george bush ain't the only fuck up in history

you know what: those sons-of-bitches came into our country and killed thousands of people and you think america should just sit back and take it

you think we should just act as cowards

HELL NO

I agree the war has been going on too long but he's our president and I support him

so fuck off

like i said everyone has a choice and their own point of view on this, whatever is best for you, you are free to choose

yep

If there was no Great White Rodent to worship, life would NOT be better. The Great White Rodent's followers benefit in numerous ways by following the lord, our Rodent.

please enlighten me on the "Great White rodent"

"you know what: those sons-of-b**ches came into our country and killed thousands of people and you think america should just sit back and take it

you think we should just act as cowards"

If that is a valid justification, why is it that IRAQ was targeted mainly, and not afghanastan? revenge anyone?

no bc if we invaded afghanastan first, it would've given iraq an oppurtunity to attack us

which they would

The laws all over he world generally center around a religion. If there is no belief in a higher over the world would really be screwed. But, then you look at these idiots that we have that call them selves Muslims and you would wonder anyway. More Wars have been started because of religion than any other reason.

I think world would be better without religions because see most wars started because of religions.

Religion is a very touchy subject in my book.The world we all live in is a very large and diverse place.The majority of the cultures feel the need to have spiritual beliefs of some sort.It is also up to the individual to choose whats best for them.Personally,I never judge anyone for their beliefs.That is up to them and their higher power,whatever it may be.People who have no beliefs are also justified in feeling that way.It is 100% up to them.As for wars being caused by religion,yes many have been.Also a lot are still going on.I just hope that someday everyone would respect everone elses feelings.It may sound like a dream but at least its not a nightmare.

Just 1 more thing.There is Christianity and Radical Christianity.There is Islam and Radical Islam.Many forms of Buddhism,Hinduism,Judiasim,Pagenism.If you can think it up,believe me its out there somewhere.Think about the crusades, the inquisition, the witch hunts,The army of god,The Christian and Islamic Martyrs.The list goes on and on.Jonestown, Branch Davidians,UFO Hale Bopp Comet cults.Tension will always exist,we just need to learn to live with each other.

Religion sucks. NEVER, EVER be religious.

Personally i'm not religious, but in a way i think it's a good thing, i mean it gives some people morals, but then it makes some people complete dicks.

So much shit is kicked around in the press when a couple of shitty american college kids die in virginia college shoot out, who gives a flying fuck!!!! more than that many people die a day in iraq, so fuck america, and quite frankly id like to see how americans acted with the war taken over to america on their soil, go suck your presidents cock those of you who support him cuz its about as close as him actually giving anything back to the state as you'll get. Twats

I think the world would be a bit better.

I am 14 and im a self-proclaimed atheist.
I mean c'mon, search on the web for " why hasn't God answered my prayer" You'll probably get some sh@t about how he answers in "Yes" "NO" and "Maybe"

That is just a major contradiction to EVERYTHING.
If thats all it is, then i could make a jug of milk my god, make a bible calling the jug infavinable, pray to it to have nothing happen, search online, "Why hasn't my god answered me?"

And i'll get the same crap.
That doesn't prove god is fake, it just means, ANYTHING can be damn God if you believe.
And i hate that. I hate the crusades, the Martyrs, the Inquisition, all of them.

Its a burning passion that flare until i am proven wrong.
(Or intil i am inevitably destroyed by oprah)

I fucking love you....

Religion was inevitable and very helpful early in humanitys history. It gave people rules to follow before people understood how to explain the WHY behind the rules. The smarter people in the society knew that pork sometimes made people sick, so they just told everyone "God says don't eat pork". They didn't know why pork was bad, but they knew it would help people for them to think this was a very important rule. The same thing applies for every other helpful rule that came from religion. It was a useful way to control people without having to explain yourself. There isn't much left for religion. Almost everything has been explained that religion previously addressed. There is still benefits from it, but as with everything it also has negatives. As the number of benefits drop, the negatives become more annoying and eventually there won't be any reason to keep it around. It won't be pretty, and it may take a long time, but religion will cease to exist. Look at countries like Japan. In most areas of Japan, if you say that you believe in God, people look at you as if you just said you believe in the Tooth Fairy. And they've got almost no crime... Norway is the most atheist country on the planet and the UN just ranked it as the happiest place on earth to live.
