blood hasnt really been spilled because of religion, blood has been spilled because of man. islam, christianity, judaism all ultimatley preach the same thing: peace. man generally takes religion and many other philosphies then they twist and misuse them for personal gain. thats not what religion is about. thats what most religions are against.




Yes most religions are against that, but you still cannot deny the fact that a lot of blood has been spilled over religious issues, because were it not for these religions such a thing would not of happened in the first place. It is really just another way people find discrimination against others. Religion is for man, and it has been used in many bad ways regardless of whose actions it was.




not really, religion is full of wisdom that applies to life. with many things that are iffy, all it takes is one under educated public and a shitty leader to cause trouble. and thats just what happened through the middle ages and all through out history.

I am a Roman Catholic turned Curious Philosopher. The point is that religion does not apply to life. It is a means by which people stop pursuing the unknown. Religion in essence is a way to to explain unexplained things at surface level, without looking deeper and allowing yourself to find the truly unexplainable miracles of life. It is when these deeper thoughts come out that members of religions start to get scared, as a result of an emotional reaction. Emotions are what cause bloodshed due to religion, and not the under educated public. This is not an angry refute, but a means to communicate ideas.

"religion is full of wisdom that applies to life"

1 being gay is evil and dirty
2 sex before marriage is evil and dirty
3 choosing any other way than jesus christ is evil and damning (don't tell me it's not in there. it's in the "narrow way good/go up another way evil" story)
4 birth control is going against god's ability to choose when you have babies
5 abortion sends souls to god before they get a chance to live
6 stem cell research does the same
7 the environment and animals are gifts from god and abusing them is ok (ask GWB)
8 masturbation is evil, of all the ridiculous shit
9 nakedness in public is naughty, and the idea that it is ingrained in us to feel that way, which I was taught was truth (adam and eve)
10 be meek and humble. turn both cheeks to those who abuse you. greeeat.... come on in terrorists. bomb the fuck out of america. let me turn my cheek.

bottom line is that christianity is twisted and blind and full of fake wisdom that does not apply to anything.

I was actually taught in Confirmation class, quote, "blind faith" is a virtue we should strive for.

If every completely psychopathic genius understand a higher power, while every athiest seems to be somehow mentally lacking, thats good enough for me  :thumbup:

I am an agnostic because I think humans are not smart enough to fully grasp the concept of ultimate reality (or god or whatever you want to call it). Beyond faith, I think it's simply impossible for anyone to prove nor disprove the existence of god in any kind of objective fashion (I think the fact that most cosmologists are agnostics is proof of this).

You athiests can call me a fence riding pussy all you want for not making the leap, but I think you are stupid for being so sure of something you can't prove in any way.

Frankly, I don't know if there is a God and I don't care. That is all.
