Religion The Root of All Problems

[Dark_Angers]

Religion should have never been created. Since the dawn of time it has done nothing, but cause trouble. Wars, fights, and terible ideas all sprout from religion.

WWII would never have happened if religion didn't exist. Hitler hated the jews, hindus (sp) and wanted to kill all jews and (hindus) which started the war. The Crusades a VERY VERY bloody deadly war started because of Christianity. Muslums sunies (sp) and shiets (sp) fight and kill each other because of religion. Muslums and Christians fight because of religious disagreements. Native Americans died and "witches" diead because of religion. Africans were enslaved because they were not Christian. People fight because other don't share their beliefs.

Good things that have come from religion are WAY outweighed by the negatives. Religion is the root of all evil.

If religion never existed the world would be a better place. FUCK religion and I hope in the future there is no such thing

Agreed.

Who are people to have beleif?

First off, please, don't be so aggressive. I happen to somewhat agree, but still, you don't need to be so vehement. Some people do believe in religion, for the right reasons (not saying God is real, but the "right" reason in my opinion is to provide a guideline on how to live happy.) Some people psychologically need a god. It helps some people to live happy.

Religion is not responsible for those things you pointed out. Narrowmindedness is. Relgious people can be non-violent, most religions preach it. However, it is a very commonly used excuse for narrowminded people to kill or make others miserable. This isn't religion. People do it for other reasons as well. Race, language, anything. Religion is just commonly the excuse.

So blame narrowmindedness and those who practice it. Blame intolerance.

I don't believe in, or feel the need for religion. I despise alot of the things religion is used to do. However I do not despise religion or those that need it. That would be like despising the knife and not the weilder.

They are human, anything that sounds good and answers questions that can't be answered humans will belive. Human arrogence then takes over and refuses to belive anything different. Then others feed that until war breaks out

man, hindus didnt start WWII. hitler and the nazi regime did. the only thing close to hindus starting WWII that the nazis did that i can think of is when rommell went to tibet and did a bunch of excavating. he found buddhist temples with the ''swastika'' drawn on artifacts. it meant peace to the original ''aryans''. thats all.

For those the "need" religion is because they have been introduced to it. If it never existed they would not need it.

Religion tries to teach people to be happy, but as shown in the Bible God killed those who would not convert. People following religion again kill people who will not convert.

America would be a LOT different if it weren't for religion. England killed and kick pilgrms out because of religion. If this hadden't happend Native Americans would rule.

People will naturally be happy without religion. Once they become religious they think they need to to stay happy.

This all comes from religion. Religion teaches intolerance as again shown in the Bible and sunies(sp) shiets(sp). Religion caps the mind and restricts free thinking and wondering from what is tought in the religion AKA narrowmindedness.

And yes that is why those things started WWII, Crusades, shuni(sp) shiets(sp), slavery (Transatlantic) these did all start from religion. Christians are not allowed to enslace other Christians and others were to powerful to enslave, hence they went to Africa.


All in all Religion is a drug that once hooked you will not get away.

Read again I did say Hitler started it. I never said hindus did. I said Hitler hated their religion and went on a mission to kill all hindus and jews. Once other countries started to get invaded WW broke out.

I also knew that the swastika originally meant peace, but that is just the symbol for Nazis. I am talking about the idea of why it stated not the swastika.

If you ask me, globalism is the root of all problems... in our modern day at least.

Yeah, but there is a new idea of globalisation that India is trying to make work. TATA is a India based company that is trying a new way to globalize and still have everyone benifiting from it not just a select few.

but still, hindus would believe hating anything would have a negative karmic weight. even though they may slip up with that here and there, the hindus aren't even close to the jews. judaism was pretty much isolated from the hindus until modern times. and even then, they werent engaged in any kind of conflict that would cause the hindus to support war.

You're wrong. If religion didn't exist, people would create it. There are many people that are psychologically dependent on belieivng their is a higher power to please to give life purpose.

The problem is the difficulty to seperate religion from spirituality. Spirituality is a good thing. Wether or not you believe in spiritual things, they help people. True spirituality never hurt anyone, and it has helped a great many.

It's hard to say you hate religion without denoting that you hate spirituality. Now-a-days the words are interchangable to most.

Hopefully, what you're trying to say is that you hate organized religion. That you hate religion as a tool. That you hate religion in the government, that you hate people crusading to tell others how to live. That's organized religion and is more of a government than true religion.

However, if you're being hateful of people having spiritual beliefs, people who aren't violent because of it, people that use it as a calming, life defining experience, just because you don't believe in it, and because of what Organized Religion has done as a government..... I think that's just intolerant.

How are u connecting Hinduisum and Judaism? When did I say they they were close or alike? Also did I say Hindus did anything, I don't know much about Hinduism to talk about its belifs, but I am sure they they have done some pretty nasty things in its past. I know this because All religions have and will.

I guess, I may not be looking at it from u are. I am looking at from a economic, not from destruction of culture and ideas.

From a cultural veiw yes globalism is destroying cultures uniqueness.
