My last response to gavin’s recent post…
Throughout history religion has been used as a tool to control armies
and assimilate colonies. It makes one really question if the leaders of
such religions truly believe in their own faith at all or simply use it
as their own power. I’m not stating that all religions have been used
as a tool.In the past there have been holy crusades, witch hunts, etc.
In this modern day religions and cults still cause much war, mass murders, and suicides.Some
people may believe that religion is beneficial for the mind. Perhaps
that is because it has given people the placebo affect of “mind over
matter.” Great for them.How many times has religion hindered our advancement in science and technology?
In
the past, great thinkers have been executed. Perhaps the church was
scared? It was so easy to rule over ignorant commoners, even more so if
they’re scared.
To this day people still continue to preach and
shove their religion down other people’s throats and casting away such
proven things such as evolution.If there is such thing as a
true religion, I don’t believe that any individuals should be given the
divine right to choose and preach about god or gods or even write a
book about it.Thus, my reasoning for believing that much of religion is BS is completely reasonable.
In
the end, I really don’t care about how many people have died or will
die because of their beliefs; nor do I care how many people have been
saved, or will be saved because of their beliefs. It’s simply natural
selection, plus the environment benefits from having less people to
pollute the world up. There are much better things for me to invest my
life on.

I agree to a certain extent, but some people truly need something to guide them. We already have too many fools running amok; I’ve found that religion actually does some good and keeps those idiots in check… maybe.
Or maybe I’m just sprouting BS again. haha
Religion in general probably has more cons than pros, of course.
Who cares?! I am my own religion — Candice Celestial Clusterfuckery.
It’s true that religion has hindered our advancement in science, though I cannot confirm if any great thinker was executed by the church. I think that religion should stay as a belief and stop trying to take over the world. What I see today is just a phase in their plan for total world domination. Look at how they recruit followers… walk around the Chinese NY fair at PNE and they will have a stall there. You walk by, BAM they pull you in and you can’t leave without making a scene. They sit you down and brainwash you to believe all their stuff which is partly true and partly shit.
For all you religious people out there… WE ARE NOT CREATED BECAUSE GOD WANTED US TO BE CREATED. Go tell that to your mother. “Mom, STFU. You didn’t go thru labor for me, I popped out of thin air because of God.”
Other than that, I’m fine with people needing something to believe in, but STOP fucking brainwashing people… especially the gullible ones. Give them all the facts and educate them so they have a real choice, though education might be against some religions…
And by facts, I mean facts from both sides INCLUDING ones made against said religion and are also true.
