Well....I know you won't appreciate it Hex, but I've got to put the Jewish faith in that slot. I've nothing against the religion except that the religion and its politics seem one and the same. They are probably the only religion with enough populace in every country to influence the politics of that country. Especially those countries where the political leaders are elected....And all the while they have people defending their position on rights of non jewish persons in Israel. Just my opinion, though...

Now I'm confused...

Since this thread is doin gmore than the other, I'll ansewr here.

Religion, while not my cup o' tea, is not the problem. It has taken men out of the dark & created society. It has created a cohesive bond between strangers & friends alike. The number of things that religion has done to improve society is innumerable. The only true drawback, man.

It's doing better than the other but i fucked up on the poll so it's esentially useless.

all religions when taken to an extreme pose a threat to mankind.

Re: dangerous religions...

Wow. Two threads absorbed and mutated into one. Thanks. The conversation ought to confuse the hell outta some people though.

i dont see religion as the problem so much as the way its interperted as well as man taking it to extremes. when they believe god told them to kill someone or bomb something to me is the problem

I feel the same way. It's not the religion that's the threat but rather the people that espouse the religion. You know how I feel about the whole religion question. I do feel that members of the abrahmic religions tend a bit more toward the overly zealous, but that may simply be a lack of exposure.

I'm not religious. I hate the way Christian preachers "preach" where I live. They beat it into those poor people's minds..."Do this, this, and only this and you're guaranteed a spot in heaven. Screw up and your f*cked." Not in thos exact words, obviously, but you get my point...I hope

 

[IDLEchild]

I don't instructions on how to live. Religion isn't the problem but it certainly isn't the answer either. Like others have said...it is the over zealous followers that irk me.....actually religion itself irks me...the zealots just downright disgust me.

 

[Gato_Solo]

I'll jump on this bandwagon. Religion is not the problem. People are the problem. It's the same argument people make for gun control that you're making for religion.

 

[AlladinSane]

I'll second Gato's opinion. Even Judahism(?) which is one of the most materialistic religions can be amazing if taken on its positive features.
