I believe that it was useful once, but no longer. The bad that it has made continues to do outweigh the trivial soundeness of mind it brings. Millions have died for religion. What has been gained...?
---Millions died in forced conversions, crusades, witch hunts, inquistions
Shame on the catholic apostates .
---Millions were tortured; i.e. when Columbus cut off the hands of Indians who would not convert in the Caribbean.
I never heard of this before, But its really columbus who is at fault, That kind of savagery is condemned in the good book
---It is a corrupt institution... (at least the Catholic part is.)
Thats just one shitty religion
---It promotes ignorance.
Your pretty ignorant generalizing everyone who has a religion
---Religion promotes hatred: Catholics, many hardliner Christians don't like gays because its against their religion to be with the same sex. This even effects our closet-Christian government!
Its shame on the catholics babby! but there not telling people to go out and kill homosexuals.
--Without religion, the Jews wouldn't have suffered because of their beliefs in the Holocaust.
This part blows my mind , Hitler hated the jews the same way the whites hated the blacks , Jews are not just a religion their a ethnic group,He didnt hate them for their religion otherwise he would have persecuted the christians and all the other groups.
---Today, religion drives the only serious threats to world peace: The Jews vs. the Arabs, and the Muslims vs. the Democracies, which are predominantly all Christian. If religion weren't so broad, there certainly wouldn't be anywhere near as much death and hatred in the world today. 9/11 almost certainly never would've happened.
What about Stalin and Hitler both atheists , Who comited the most horrible crimes in history. Not all Muslims hate the U.S just a small extremist group who view the western culture has a evil.The Jews and palestinians isnt over religion its over land and terroritory, The didnt hate the jews before the creation of isreal,Isreal came in and stole a chunk of their country, Infact the Koran says for muslims too respect the jews and christians since they both follow in gods teachings
on the other hand,
---Religion provides some morale standing.
---It makes people happy and comforts them.
