And yes, christian beliefs are often abused and misused by the preachers for personal benefits (Power or Money)....
All religions are shit, the only difference is the degree of the shit
New testament didn't do shit
No, some Religions are good and a net plus for the People.
And Stefan didn't answer my question.
The Problem often times doesn't lie in the Religion, its in the Institutions.
New testament is indicative of an overall effort to want to change for the future.
Islam doesn't do that.
And the Problems we have right now with the political divide wouldn't be happening if we still had a unifying religion.
--Egh.
A brain softening agent would sure soften our brains, yes.
And that is the job of the Religion: Unify the people and keep the beast in man in check.
You can't believe in something you don't, though.
The internet drags religion behind the shed with a shotgun.
It just does
Too much evidence.
What a bunch of crap.. religion is what arguably held back progress for centuries. Religion was used to destroy and divide people all over the earth.. please cease
Spanish Inquisition
Salem witch trials
The Problem is that most people can't live without religion. If they "don't learn" Religion (=Christianity or something else), their brain looks for other ways to worship.
That can be some Apple, a Letherjacket or political partys.
Don't even come at me with institutions. It was the religiousness that allowed those institutions to capitalize on it and use it for whatever they pleased.
@Senny Not Religion, Religious Institutions. Mainly the Catholic Church.
The absolute state of the catholic fucking church two damn weeks ago.
Yes, the Catholic Church was the biggest evil we had in Europe. Because of the way it was used for power and abused the People. I agree with that.
Was?
You could argue that it still is.
Did you hear what one of the higher ups said about the rape scandal?
That they shouldn't judge the priests for their actions because they too have sinned.
Yes, that is why you should abolish the Catholic Church or at least demand that the Priests are Married.
Demand... What now?
Apparently, pussy prevents predators from raping kiddos
What Patton says here is true.
It had its place.
But it's just one of the ideas.
One of the earliest, in fact.
It got us past having to rely on psychopaths with clubs NOT wanting to kill us for fun.
Religion is stoll needed for many.
The Celibacy is evil!
We still haven't properly replaced 100% of religion's utility, even ignoring the fact that people are free to believe what they like
