more wars have been caused by religious beliefs than any other thing.
and thousands of people have died because of these "my truth is better than your truth" wars
kthnxbye :) |
Yes I know about the bad as well, I'm not stupid, I'm talking about the greater good it's done. Besides, do you realize how many insane people have been stopped from going on rampages because of religion? Just think how much worse off we'd be without it. |

indeed, but it has a calming affect on groups of people; hence the "opiate of the masses" |
Yes that's why I believe Religion has done more good than bad. |

| "the opiate of the masses" was a criticism of it written by Karl Marx saying its a brainwashing engine that chills everyone. If you are a fan of you religion, I wouldnt go around telling people its an opiate ;) |

Its foolish to accuse a tool of being "good" or "bad"
your argument is like accusing a hammer of being lazy most of the time. |

Yeah I know what Marx was getting at. I'm not a religious man myself, I just appreciate the greater good it's done for humanity in general. |

Imagine a world without religion...essentially a world without authority. Most people would go ing crazy. Think about it - most people have some sort of morality. Morals originated with religion. I'm not saying that if there was no religion, there'd be no morals, but religion certainly has helped in that area.
For example, we have laws saying it's not ok to kill. Where the hell did we get the idea that it's not ok to kill other people?
I'm not talking about isolated incidents, I'm talking about the big picture. Imagine life without some sort of controlling factor like religion. The idealist in me says we'd get along just fine, but the realist in me says the world's population would be a lot smaller than it is right now. |
