Nationalism and greed may be the root of the world's wars, but religion is most often the "moral" rationale behind them.

[FutureSpaceGuy]

Religion is not the root to all evil, but has it done anything good? Religion is against progress and reason. Instead of basing your life and choices on rationality, facts and what you KNOW is true, you base it on emotion, what others tell you is true and what you WISH to believe. Does not sound very good to me

@snoopyd80 religion is good and bad it brain washes people but keeps some of then away from crime and thts good i guess keep the stupid ones in religion and the ones that have a common scenes well keep doing what you do...

@SamiZaatari Oh no I must sacrifice all the fun and joys of life so that I don't get poked with a stick and set on fire for ever by a red man with horns. I REALLY don't want to eat pork because the magic man who-looks-like-every-single-pe­rson-ever-created will throw me into fire and have me tortured. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH FREE WILL that gays are a curse and should be killed off. I am so happy to be a part of this mindless cult of people afraid of ancient beliefs designed to scare criminals.

@Umbrokill99

Its not about how I express my statements. Its you who has a tunnel vision with it comes to religious issues. Now you understand?

@SamiZaatari

It would be foolish to assert that religion is the root of all problems. But it is the cause of many problems and so should be argued against whenever possible and opposed when nessecary.

We seem to agree that the claim is 'absolutely absurd' and 'complete rubbish'. But you go on to defend religion on the basis that it's the least of several evils. Does that strike you as a good argument? Besides, even if religion were good for the world that would not nessecarily prove it true.

@ZombieVampirez You are just a bitter faggot. So bitter you leave nasty comments to Samir because you disagree with him. I hope you die of AIDS faggot.

[ZombieVampirez]

The reason? It should be painfully obvious. The god, as your book describes him, and your savior, as his disciples retell, supported the oppression of women, genocide, slavery, human sacrifice, and incest. Jesus, as is retold in the Bible, lays out a definition of how to treat your slaves! If you think I'm lying, then you haven't read the Bible. I urge all religious people to read their own book. I especially urge Sami to read it.

Just to point out, I went to church with my family for several years. Upon discovering my sexuality, I was told by a psychologist to read the Bible, and that it would make me "See god and be good" and such. It did the exact opposite. It reaffirmed my sexuality while also making me an Atheist. I read the Bible in its entirety, every word, and that book alone, the one that should have made me a believer did the exact opposite.
