Its also damaged a lot of young boys arses

lol fantastic

pmsl. you get a funny for that although the actual fact of child abuse by religious fanatics itself is NOT funny.

You still know the difference between wrong and right. Its not good to murder people or to cheat on your wife its just immoral. I guess you can bitch about all the technical things that the christain extremist have taken way out of hand. Anyhow I believe in god and I plan to live my life somewhat in his guidelines and be a good person. If when I do die he feels like I didnt do good enough for him then I guess he can send me to hell but if he does I'm sure heaven is a small place because there is not many people out there following his guidelines to a T.

Religion is supposed to be a grounding and to teach us morals. But humans are imperfect and quarrel about everything. It's not religion it's people and their inherent stupidity and ignorance.

everybody has their own take on religion

i believe that no matter what you do god will forgive you

all you have to do is ask

Religion has stripped us of our free will?

Last time I checked religion was a choice.

not to everyone :(

religion does as much good as it does bad. but without it, we would be worst. I'm athiest but I respect peoples beliefs :)

Most people who are religious are just religious because their parents brough them up that way.

I doubt any religion is real except for maybe the first created religion.

I'm a catholic but God seems to be a sexist, racist, homophobe.

You can't just make a statement like that.

I'm a Catholic and God seems to be freaking awesome.

Religion has always been a controversial topic. But honestly, we live in a post-modernistic world, and religion is a human made concept that keeps us from going insane. It helps us understand things we do not. Simply put.

Now, even that I can recognize that, I believe in God. No matter what century we're in, there will always be skepticism. That is why utopias never exist.

So I think that your claim is wrong. Religion does not control peoples lives and brain washes them. In actuality, it is the humans that allow religion to be a part of their lives. You want people living on logic and ethics, but religion is human made. Religion is a result of logic and ethic.

i personally dont view everything the way you do but your last statement was just spot on

i think that religion is just taking peoples money, freedom and sparkd alot of wars.

you dont need the bible to know the difference between right and wrong, if you choose to worship someone or something thats up to you

i personally see myself doing great in my life, im not on drugs, im not sleeping around with anything that moves, as i hav a gf, and i am proud of who i am, role models like parents and teachers and older brothers or sisters need to be there to teach you lifes lessons, not a book. experience stuff yourself and youll learn if you want to.

then again if you find learning thru the preechings of a book does it for you go ahead

i have friends of all religion types and i respects all the opinions but in the end no one religion has concrete evidence to bak up their beliefs

:)

Nutshell version: RELIGION IS EVIL!

I agree

I totally agree friend.

Religion is what those in power used to control us before they invented money.

Once upon a time we were slaves to the church, now we're all slaves to the banks.

Get used to it guys.

"Theres no such thing as hell, but we can make it if we try."

No, just search for a religion that matches logic, it is easy, you have to search well with true well and not to be lazy doing that with simple googling or watching some tv on a chair. sparking wars does not need two evil parties, it only needs one... even if both parties are religious.
most religions had their facts twisted with long time.. that is why some people think bad about God. those same people that used to do horrible things to other people in the name of religion had twisted its facts to match their will and added their own words to the bible and removed what they dislike... just ask a good christian minister about these things , they study how the bible was changed and how they can never know the real words that was in the bible.. there is even a doubt that Jesus was crucified!!.
see what a former christian minister ,Dr. Jerald Dirks (wikipedise him)on "http://www.thedeenshow.com/show.php?action=guest&id=9"

religion is for stupid people who can't think for themselves and are manipulated by others with vested interests, you should feel pity for tham

Communism, anyone? ;)

Let people believe what they want to believe, or should organized religion be abolished? If you try to prove religion is one thing, you are threatening the free will of others.

The *only* thing I cannot stand about religion is the fact that religious groups try to convert and brainwash small children before they have the chance to develop a mind of their own or learn about their alternatives. Because I am sick of so many so-called "Christians" taking advantage of a perfectly beautiful faith by having unsettled qualms and misunderstanding their own religion simply because they "grew up with" the faith. They are simply "Religious Sheep"; broken human beings that have lost the capability to question reality.

Just stay away from the children, religious majorities. Let the future think for themselves...

It's almost as if we are de-evolving.

JoeyAnne, religion is definatly not based on and logic whatsoever. I am serious think about what you are saying. God? Does it exist? How could it have existed to make everything from nothing? Logic states that making something from nothing is impossible. As so the theory of God.

I agree.
