Religion (2)

[Demonheart]

Religions are bad as they can be the cause of violance.

People kill each other everyday because they worship who has been dead for a long time...

dead people can only make more dead people ZOMG ZOMBIES

[Nightwolf]

Yes, there is currently a riot between hindus and muslims in Manipal(my bro stays there, we told him to saty in-door!) :roll:

Religion makes me puke.One time some fucked up catholic preach ran up to me and he told me "You religion is total crap" Which pissed me off because he believes that some god appeared out of nowhere and I believe in any sane way example mixture between elements.
Then they gave me a lecture on sunday morning in front of the whole church.
Those guys got some guts..

Hrmm..Well for me I have two view points...the one I was raised with and the one I developed when I started actually thinking about it.  If you think about a religon, specifically the one your were raised around you tend to develop a conditioned response to it.  Such as saying bad things about say Christ, Mohammad, etc you kinda get this feeling like in the pit of your stomach that says what you did was wrong or at least I do.  I was told when I was young that it was God or the Holy Spirit telling me what I was doing was wrong...but as I grew older I wondered why ppl of different religons didnt have the same response whenever they said G.D. or something of that nature.
 It wasnt until I talked to a Buddhist friend of mine did I discover that he had the same kind of bad feeling in his stomach whenever he said bad things concerning his religon.  Hence I concluded that maybe it wasnt God or w/e but simply me fretting over something I was raised to not do.  That is when I started doubting not just my religon but all religons as a whole and began thinking about their origins and their uses in society.  It made sense to me that religons were developed to tame the masses and to give them something to believe in.  Through religons countless dictators and rulers have been able to manipulate their ppls into doing w/e it is they wanted.  Religon is a very powerful political weapon in my mind.  
Religon as a whole however isnt a bad thing I think.  It gives ppl hope, it sets moral codes for ppl to live and be happy.  As a whole I think religon is a good thing for ppl...but as I grow older I tend to lean on it less and less as a guide to what is going to happen to me when I die.  Keep in mind this is just my opinon and I mean no offense to those of you who are religious  :|

Personally I am non-religious.

However, I think everyone should practice whatever they want to belive, and what makes them happy.

That said, I am very much against organized religion. I think people should study/practice their religion at home, with their family, maybe with a group of friends who belive the same thing. Churches and other large religious gathering places are basically giant brainwashing factories. People tell you what to think, and how to interprete the religion. In private you would be able to study your own religion, and surmise for yourself what you think about things.

Esentially, private study of religion provokes thought, while organized religion supresses it.

Story Time:

Info On Genesis (Bible omg):


We're all in knowledge of the Adam and Eve saga, right? The had sex, forming a boy... and a girl. What happens next? They have sex...

Bible promotes incest. Sick.

Yeah... Eh... One of many reasons why I'm not relogious, the bible is mainly written by some drunk pirate or something, then passed it onto a mermaid. OH WAIT? THEY DON'T EXIST EITHER? Oh, okay. My bad.

[Blizzard]

Adam means on Hebreic "men" and Eva means "women". Adam was NOT ONE MAN. And Eva was NOT ONE WOMAN. C

[haloOfTheSun]

Adam and Eve isn't a true story, just a parable. I'm not saying you are saying it's true, but I know some people here are very gullible.

[Blizzard]

Yeah, good you highlighted that. I forgot to tell them.
