Religion.

[NitroAbob]

I wonder what Drug they took back then
But on a other note, the Bible (for example) is a collection of Storys.
What bunch of weirdos is so nuts to belive in a story?
Thats like me creating a religion about dragonball caus ive read the mangas ...

Anyhow, Religion is something that gives hope and strength, but freakin leave me alone with it ...
In germany theres a Church Tax ... that says it all ...

Stories that are virtually a guide to leading a good life.

I have no issues with any religion and I don't see why people have to go around hating on them. If its true, gratz to them. If its false then gratz to the non-believers. All in all Religion is necessary regardless if you believe in them or not.

wait wut. why is religion necessary?

wait wut. why is religion necessary?

Do some research...

People fear gods and doing anything that would upset them/him scares the shit outta people. The idea of going to hell is better then any laws you can have. Virtually religion keeps people from going around doing what they want. If the idea of any sort of afterlife was not introduced imagine what kinda of life people would live. I can almost guarantee that with out any religions the would would be alot more chaotic and filled with alot more death. Alot of churches go around helping 3rd world places and the homeless yet people wanna talk shit about em'.

People's idea about religion are based on what a few people have shown them. Not all religion is bad and tries to shove it down your throat. I know alot of churches around here go to mission trips to feed the homeless and provide medical care to South America and Africa.

Religions have been around a lil after the beginning of man. Gods and Goddesses, real or fake, struck fear into the people that believed in them. Higher laws then any man could create and all for the purpose of living a good life. However religions have changed due to technology but the principals stay the same. Live a good life and go to a better afterlife and lead a bad life and go to a worse after life. Knowing this fact, again regardless of what you believe, religion does hold people from committing certain acts as a whole.

Religion, in my opinion, is necessary for the human race to survive. May the religion be aggressive about spreading or passive, the ultimate achievement is holding us together as a whole. You guys, from what I have read, are basing your views on extremists. Extremists can go to hell in my opinion, and that goes for anything. Anyone who trys to force anyone onto any idea or thing sets a bad example for everyone they are in cahoots with. I view religion, as a whole, a good thing

but a deterrent isn't necessary D: why not just use an incentive like the majority searching for higher intelligence and resorting to logic? also no faith is necessary.. in fact, it's futile yay people don't get to do what they want. not all people want to kill,rape,etc. and just because u do something good doesn't mean it cancels out the bad. =/ a recent questionnaire was taken by some magazine which name escapes me... saying that christians get an F in their own religion. it wasn't only christians though, it was all religions. as in... people who weren't religiously orientated actually knew more about the their own religion than religious people themselves. so this would imply that the more people find out about religion, the more likely they are to convert to agnosticism or atheism. the only reason im against religion is because it causes more people to be ignorant of facts that they CHOOSE, CHOOSE, CHOOSE, CHOOSE, not to believe.

religion is a plague to all it's countless victims in my eyes, i'm sorry if this offended anyone but it's just the way i think.

Twist, not every one shares the same logical thoughts. Im assuming you live in the E.U.,
correct?

Oh, on another note.

Most of the worlds smartest people have had religious view. Einstein, Edison, Franklin... etc. You can still be very intelligent and have views on a higher power. I do believe you argument on intellectuality is invalid, along with logic.

if that is true i kill myself lol

no but seriously. religion is needed to survive? it is actually the other way around these days. for example: the pope said that using condoms is not allowed... and because of that alot of people in africa get aids DAILY. and also now in europe alot of priests and guys like that admit they touched little children (not funny) . another thing is that diffrent religions cant live together in peace (how much we try it fails everytime) wich is actually retarded if you think about it.

the world is better off without religion. but ofcourse there are always people who need lies to live a normal life.
