This is important, very important. Religion is the second biggest problem of this planet, we have to kill it. Understanding the disease helps healing. Thanks for posting.

Maybe true religion is the cure for the biggest problem: government!

@bary1234 well your comment is one year ago, but you refer to religion as the second biggest problem of this planet. Can you tell me what is for you the first problem? (if you still hold the same opinion of cource after all this time)! thaxs

@nickolasgaspar : Thanks for the interest :)

Human overpopulation is the biggest problem. Superstition remains as the second biggest problem.

[nickolasgaspar]

@bary1234 I agree to a huge degree...On the other hand I think that primarily, a solution not been applied, is the main cause for both! My point is that, Illiteracy gives fertile soil to superstition and overpopulation. After that, the uneducated masses just go by the rules that the social theory of networking describes.

[bary1234]

@nickolasgaspar You are right on that. These problems are linked and connected deeply.

Overpopulation is caused because women are opressed. Religions are made by tribal men, who want to keep women opressed. So religions and religious people very much try to keep women down.

One-child policy forced globally like they have in China would help this planet immensely. Or even 2-child limit/women. That would stop religious morons from using their women as breeding-factories.
