Without religion you wouldn't have extremists, and you certainly wouldn't have wars and terror attacks based around such extreme prejudices and intolerance; people would go back to hating eachother for having difference culture and fighting over resources instead

I don't like religion because it essentially uses fear and scare tactics to trick & force people into doing what it/the church wants- just like any other dangerous cult movement. The trouble with the major religions is that they have been going for so long & grown so large they are accepted much more widely as being 'right' or 'safe', vs much newer religions like scientology which anyone can see is just a money making scheme ( see: put a person in cold water and slowly raise the temp until they boil to death, or throw them in boiling water and they'll jump straight out ).

Then there's the hypocrisy...









( see also: richard dawkins video posted earlier )

'Do as we say, or else' essentially. If you want to believe in some higher power, then fine, but people really don't need to be told how to behave and worship, they can do that on their own terms and in their own way, without being effectively threatened into it, if they really must.

You'd think in this day and age people would be strong minded and intelligent enough to see the world for what it is, and enjoy it for what it is, rather than preferring to be told what to think and do because they aren't capable of living a good life on their own...

Neil, It is the Devils will to kill,steal, and destroy not God's. God's will is to give you life more abundantly. The junk you are saying is untruthful and you must lack the ability to comprehend or have never read the bible or you would know what you are talking about. I will be praying for you that you will find the truth and get Jesus.

The devil is to blame for every bad thing apparently, according to religion; yet at the same time the bible clearly states that god moves in mysterious ways and his will should not be challenged ( ergo- bad things & good things = god, the devil lives in hell and has no control over mortal man ). Also, god kills far more people in the bible than the devil does:



Loving God eh?

You don't like to hear facts and viewpoints based on logic and reason so you just resort to the old 'no no no, god is real and he loves me, cant prove otherwise' nonsense that all christians end up falling back on when challenged and they don't have a good response.



I studied the bible at primary and secondary school actually, just like many people who DON'T believe in god; christians try to get you from an early age, but even then I was too smart to believe that nonsense once I was old enough to understand it for myself, then I could pick apart all the inconsistencies, contradictions and just plain nonsense that christians, the bible and preachers spout.

Don't pray for me, or anyone else; prayer = doing something by nothing at all- Jesus won't come to mine or anyone else's rescue ( hence why so many of our troops are coming home in coffins- work that one out why don't you ).





I know exactly what I'm talking about, hence why I can back it up- all you have is... nothing, except scorn to pour...
