organized religion ===== the root of all evil


does that make money an organized religion?


I think trying to insult people by their beliefs is pretty low. Of course, depending on the religion, it can be really hilarious. (Looking at you, South Park) People need to laugh, but insulting religions can spark "holy" wrath. So, be ready for a backlash if you put down religions.


you can believe anything you wish

if adam and eve were perfect b4 the tree of knowledge

and eating of the fruit was the original sin (sin is evil is it not)
----------------------------
o·rig·i·nal (-rj-nl)
adj.
1. Preceding all others in time; first.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/original
-----------------------------

if it was preceding all other sin then it is original and the root of it
thus if their eating the fruit was the original sin is it not organized religion that teaches this

thus the root of evil is organized religion whether one wants to admit it or not

unless of course the story of adam and eve is a total lie (you know like christ being born on dec 25)

Every religion is bashed by someone....yet everyone thinks they are bashed because they are right. My mother is convinced she is a persecuted Christian.
Quite frankly I'm tired of being called a "godless heathen" for my beliefs...
Live and let live...

I'll say, whatever God each of us believes in is undoubtedly disgusted by our behavior to each other.. :heart:

pretty much ALL religions teach peace and love

it's PEOPLE who are hateful and twist and manipulate the religions tenets to rationalize and justify their hate

I just need to make a point here! Based on the christian bashing thread i just wanted to see how long this thread will last before banned. But we need a question as well. Is it okay to openly make bigoted statemnets against a group of people? Generalize about what they think? It's a free country yes but are people really that ignorant?


hmm...I would say that among certain recognizable groups, there IS a generalization in what they think. That's what makes them a group.
Are you saying that by disagreeing or by putting forth an opposing viewpoint, one is being bigoted?

I consider myself Christian, I feel so long as it is not an outright vulgar post, mature debate about the pros and cons of christianity should be permitted and not taken offensively. Noone has called us names,, I think,,lol.

As far as Islam, I see it like I see the topic of Africa,,,there are many many opinions about something most know little about besides what is in the media. When I trust information about Islam is from religious scholars or those who follow the religion,,just as I look for information on Africa from AFrican scholars and those from the continent.


Indeed. One should talk to a direct source before forming an opinion.
For instance, some 20+ years ago I found out one of my co-workers was a muslim. I found out many interesting things about his core beliefs. 2 of which stand out to me.
The first being if a non-believer asks about his religion, he was duty bound to talk about it. The second was there are only a few ways to garentee(sp?) a trip to Hell. One being, harming anyone who has not declared their intent to harm you. Another being, harming anyone who has surrendered to you.

Now if the rest of the world believed and followed those last 2, I'm thinking the world would be a much nicer place.

A lot of reading I've done, mostly by ex-muslims, insist Islam is a cult, not a religion and Mohammed can be seen in about the same light as Brigham Young. They made shiite up as they went along.

The claim has been that there aren't many who practice the extremeisms of the quran. For just a few, they sure have a lot of power and do much damage.

Islams power over women is one value some men admire and defend.


umm...what's the difference between a religion and a cult? A religion is more acceptable to you?

as far as Christian bashing

I was taught that if you are the right kind of Christian you WILL be persecuted and bashed

the closer you can get to being Christlike you more you will suffer for it. Christ was flogged and beaten and humiliated and tortured on the cross and he accepted it

what you DONT do is get all militant and confrontational about it. as soon as you do that you get less Christlike and allow human pride to push him out

Christians should just be thankful that they dont get fed to the lions anymore


Very true statement! I am far from a Good Cristian, however raised as one i always feel the need to defend it! Not to mention they really are not bad people and most are not even involved in politics until recently! Politics infiltrated the Church as we see it recently! Before when i went to church they didnt speak of it now you see more and more of it!


Not bad people??? You've obviously never got beaten up by a rabid group of "good" christians doing their best to beat the fear of God into you. You've never had your property damaged or stolen by "good" christians showing how much they don't like your opinion or your questions.

Not bad people...bah...

I am glad you brought this up.I don't know how many times I have read the endless insulting,put downs,and how stupid Christians are in the General religion section of this website.When ever I dare talk back and defend the Christians or start a post talking about how stupid the Atheist are I get the usual "You are close to getting banned" E-mail and of course my comments are erased.

I'm sick of this political correctness garbage.People need to start saying it for what it is.Islam is a big problem with our world today and I do realize that it is only a small minority in the big picture.However this is not just a incident here and a incident there once in a while.This is happening everyday all over the world.Everyday we read terrorist actions not coming from the Christians,Buddhist,or Jews but from people who follow Islam.

I keep hearing "we are a peaceful people and despise this action".If you despise it so much why don't you join the military,start a protest,or do something about it.Although I know most Muslims don't contribute to violence I totally believe they would jump at the chance to kill all Christians and Jews if they could get away with it.To this day I have never heard anything peaceful towards the Jews or the Christians and only hear about how they are the problem.

I give you a lot of credit for creating this post.



Muslims are just doing what christians did in times past. They just have bigger badder weapons now.
Personally, I wish the mods allowed all speech, insulting or not, at least somewhere on this site. However, I can see their point in not allowing it everywhere.

Perhaps if that is your theory you should do a study to see if that is really true.You really think this world we be better off with no religion?China has no official religion.I can't remember China giving a rats a** but anyone but itself.People don't seem to be too free or happy.

We could take the 3 of the worlds worst countries and 3 of the worlds best countries and see what the majority of the peoples religions are.I think we can all agree that the worlds best,most successful,most righteous,and most free countries are all overwhelmingly Christian.Seems to me Christianity is not the root of all evil but just the opposite.

Show me a country that has no religion and tell me how it is better than the United states or the United Kingdom.




oh you've got to be kidding. There are a quite a few countries that are primarily non-religious and have better and more freedoms than this one. Not to mention a greater percentage of educated people, better health care, longer lifespans, ect.

Most scholars believe that Islam is based on the teachings of James "the brother of Jesus" and was later "taken over" by Mohammed.

allow me to explain how indirect correlation works, if i only wear green pants when i get a hair cut, it does not mean my hair gets cut every time i wear green pants. organized religion regardless of what branch they are, is just a communion of people. acts of exploitation are committed with or without these beliefs, they are simply the most effective way to execute certain tasks. but back to the post, you can not relate the well being of a nation ( or any group of people) based on the percentage of population that are theist. the fundamental troubles of the world such as war, disease, and famine are strictly result of wealth distribution. even though i my self is a raging atheist, i still respect those who make what ever effort they can to help, most of these people being religious ( though not all). deconstructing any religion would not change a bloody thing.

When a man marries a man and a woman marries a woman there is no human value left at all . The Muslims do not do that but the Christians and their brothers in deception the Jews do this .....laugh .
