Religion is like a mothers womb that gave birth to everything spiritual in this world.And society without religion is nothing but a herd of wild beasts,that although endowed with reason,is always ready to slaughter and destroy. I dont believe we can have an advanced civilization without notions of God,souls immortality and future life.But thats just my opinion.

no, religion means nothing. God doesn't want a religion with us, he wants a relationship.

i do not agree with your reasoning .. we have all seen how religion can be and is used as a means to slaughter . ^^^This is spot on. More folks die violently in the name of religion or because of religious beliefs than maybe ANY other cause...and it never stops.

religion: the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. so, is my belief/worship of God important to me,,,yes and congregation with others of similar belief, especially in times when such belief is being attacked more and more often is also important to me,,,

what is indecent in humans is not the fault of religion,, it would exist within any ideoloty allegiance to a country, allegiance to an ideal or a symbol,, allegiance is the name in which people do awful things religion can be something people feel allegiance to, but its not the root of their indecency towards one another,,,

People will use whatever they can find to slaughter, pillage and plunder. Ever since the first caveman found a bigger club.

Blondey111,actually i am deeply convinced that those who killed in the name of God,would also kill without God. Because we humans,are the only cause.And the only battlefield is our heart. So if there is any war that could be led in the name of God,than thats the war against the dark in us.

Saudi Arabia is the terror factory. Sheikh Saleh al-Luhaidan, head of the Supreme Judicial Council in Saudi Arabia, issued a fatwa against "obscenity, humor, laughter and wasting time without benefit", which authorized killing of Arab satellite channels' owners who broadcast " obscenity, humor and laughter".

Spirituality have birth to religion. You get religion when man molds spirituality to fit his own ego needs

religion ... The belief that a cosmic zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. ... Anonymous Humanity does not need religion or belief in a supernatural afterlife to advance :-) religion is only a belief in a creator,, all the rest is individual conjecture it is humanly natural to wonder where we came from as HUMAN BEINGS some may rely on science for that answer, and some may rely on faith beyond ONLY What science has so far discovered (Scientific discoveries are limited by the available knowledge at the time,, new knowledge can change what scientists once theorized)

Culture and ideologies are artificial boundaries erected to seperate us from each other. Divide and conquer. That's why I love psychedelics, they disolve bounderies. Btw, My religion is shamanism, there's no faith neccisary, as it's experienced based.

its a language and we have words to describe language and humans we call breaking mans laws 'crimes' we call breaking those laws or guidelines of a religion 'sin' sometimes crimes are also sins(murder, theft, etc),,, much more rarely sin is also a crime(in western countries at least)
