"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one." - G.B. Shaw

and i would personally add, that just like being drunk.. being religious can influense your actions.. and extremism is allways dwelling within the texts, waiting for the right sort of person to interpret it. and moderate people will allways provide them with cover by protecting faith itself

I hate the Christian hypocrisies of applauding wars - while nodding their heads to words like "tolerance", "peace", "forgiveness".

There are Corporate Churches making a mockery of themselves through profiteering.

But we also have small churches that give their time & money to the community rather than themselves.

Religion influences parts of theist lives in many ways. I think it's fine to point out the negative aspects of anything, but why ignore the positive ?

We can't generalize them.

people need to have hope in themselves, not a god.

"Religion sometimes gives hope, to people who are hopeless, and that's a good thing."

I think this is a common idea and I'm not going to deny it, I'm sure that faith in certain circumstances can improve a life. The fact that it can, however, has no bearing on whether or not the claims of religion(s) are true. There will always be an amount of dishonesty involved... "yeah it's probably not true, but let them stay ignorant, let them have faith." See what I mean? I'm not sure that's moral either.

Giving false hope to otherwise hopeless people is not a good thing ... It serves as a misdirection for their attention ... Without being blinkered by religion one could better focus on the causes of their hopelessness & rail against it ... That gives a human worth even if they fail ... Stand in absolute defiance of Ragnorok ...

@FreedomIsAfarce It's bullshit. The concept of "diversity" isn't a bad one, but it is to the point where we are all forced into other cultures more than is necessary. I really don't understand what is up with this "you must keep your culture!" shit to people coming to the US these days. No one ever made a huge deal of that during early European/African/Asian immigration, but rather to embrace being an American. They wanted to get out of their stadium, so they can start rooting for their new team

@ant1establishment Completely agree. I don't know how people can look at books like the bible and quaran and take them seriously. Religious texts, the bible being the biggest one to deal with in the US, are just riddled with hypocrisy. The bible is all about bigotry and teaching hate towards others over petty shit like gender and sexual orientation. I think religion is the driving force behind a lot of this hate, because otherwise, I don't know why itw ould be there or why anyone would care.

[ant1establishment]

To say religion has good aspects is like saying stabbing someone in the eye is good in the respect that it will free up a parking spot. Religion is guidance toward bigortry, ignorance and separation between them and those other religions. It's a delusion, it would be far better for that person to get off their ass and strive for a change than "hope" thier imaginary friend will take care of everything.
