Before I get attacked by athiests and anti-religion folk of the like, let me talk. I believe that religion is actually good because it gives people hope and it provides people a sense of being over than science and evolution. It's the people behind religion with their out-dated and horrible beliefs that are bad. Religion should be about loving and caring about others despite the differences between each other because we're all human and we all make the same mistakes. Honestly, I hope there is a god so he/she can open our eyes and give us a whole new definition of religion so it'll be loved by many more people.

    If you need religion to be a good person you are not a good person.

    I'm an atheist and I agree with you. However keep in mind that anything can be a religion, everything can be a compass in someones life to do the right things. It doesn't have to be Christianity or something like that. In that way, even atheism can be a religion.

    I saw a scene which made me quite perplexed the other day. A woman was sitting there with her children in a food court, right beside me. Her children were young, under the age of 7. They were all eating greasy junk food. She was saying to them, "we pray so that god will protect you. I will teach you to pray." I remember thinking that she could protect her children herself, from childhood obesity and health issues, just by buying them healthier food to eat. She can pray to god for protection but isn't she part of the problem why they need protection to begin with?

    I mostly agree. Believing in God and being a good person is good. No offense to anyone who doesn't believe in God, atheists can also be good people. But being intolerant in the name of "religion" is not good. The same can be said about some atheists who push their beliefs on others.

    The "people behind religion" that you are speaking about are not the vast majority of religious leaders. They are just the most vocal ones.

    Well of course it's normal considering the majority of the population is religious..

    We all want there to be a god, we really do. But the odds are small. Religion might make someone feel that their life has a "special purpose", or it might make them feel happy after a prayer. But the effect given after those thoughts are no different than meditation. And it's also sad that there are over 4,000 religions, that alone shows that the odds of everyone not running into each other with different beliefs is staggering. However, the idea of living a life on your own, with your loved ones, knowing this life...is it. Make the very best of it, and always say goodbye to your loved ones every single day, because that just might be the last time you see them. For good.

      Depends what kind of god. I wish it was really a loving one who uses his extraordinary powers to grant my wishes and whims but I'd hate it to be some asshole that wants me to be submissive and worship it. I'm a Dom not a Sub. Lol

      Talk for yourself. I am an atheist and I wish from all my hearth there was no god.

      I ought to be religious. I do not understand idiots like you. Religion clearly teaches people to believe with hearth and love not with mouth.

      If there was a god and I doubt it, he would send your beastiel corpse to the deepest corner of satan's asshole!

        Lol. I'm the furthest thing from being religious. I'm a hardcore atheist. You're an idiot who's full of himself.

          Eric is a troll, and one of the worst kind too.

            Your mother is a troll. I guess your father's semen wasn't that perfect.
