Religion, nowadays has formed into two 'gangs'
The first are those who believe, and the other big group are those who dont believe, and without being critical usually make fun of the first group...
It happens the other way of cource, with some crazed zealot condeming atheists to hell...
But recently there have been documentaries and all sorts about atheists who hate religion, and although i can see their point think that it is very unfair...
' all wars are caused by religion...'
My answer to that is that in many cases like the middle east, people are using the excuse of faith to justify killing of innocents. People like this are quite bluntly evil, and if there was no religion, would find another excuse, like race, to justify their barbarities...
'without religion the world would be a better place'
Well, that is very debatable. In my opinion, in places like Africa, where there is mass murders of all sorts, religion has sometimes been the only hope for these people. In their poverty, the words of Jesus or any other god bring forth hope that They will live better in another life, and therefore gives hope.
'there is no afterlife you sad fools'
Only one way to find out...never say never
'religion should be banned'
Well, i propose a live and let live policy. I also say this to the 'faithful' who also do not understand a live and let live policy..
